Deceleration: The underrated game-changer in basketball performance

When we think about basketball, acceleration, speed, and vertical jump often steal the spotlight. But what about slowing down?

Deceleration is just as critical—it’s what allows players to stop on a dime, change direction efficiently, and reduce injury risk. Without strong deceleration ability, every explosive move loses its effectiveness.

In this exclusive session, Yannis Irid, Head of Strength & Conditioning at the French Basketball Federation, breaks down:
⚡ Why deceleration is a key physical capacity in basketball
📊 How to assess it using modern technology and data analysis
🏋️ Practical, gym-based strategies to train and develop this ability

If you’re a coach, trainer, or performance professional, this is the type of insight that can directly impact how you prepare athletes for the demands of the game.

👉 This clip is part of our Premium Membership library, where you’ll find 100+ in-depth presentations, insights from Euroleague and NBA professionals, and a community of experts shaping the future of basketball performance.
