  Basketball Skills 
 

You are now in your best shape for game-time execution to succeed.

 

Still with that said - Can it be improved upon?

 

Our goal is to improve upon what your coaches, athletic trainers and fitness personel have prepared you for your first game.

 

Most games are won or lost in the last 5-10 minutes of the last half of the game. 

 

 

 

We will construct a "HYBRID" MORA (Mandibular Orthopedic Repositioning Appliance) Splint Appliance in the Form of a  Mouthguard along with the main focus of a MOOO (Mandibular Occipital Occlusal Orthotic) PRI Splint Appliance taking into consideration:

Your Age: It works best we find if you are at least 16 1/2 years old

Dental Occlusion

TMJ

Body Asymmetry - Head,Shoulder Girdle,Hip &Pelvis

Vertebral Alignment - Postural Chain, OA and AA Space

Muscle Recruitment 

Cranio-Mandibular-Cervical Relationship as it relates to Posterior Rotation of the Cranium with its resultant 

Forward Head Posture

 
          WITH THE                   MOUTHGUARD AS          THE ONLY VARIABLE
                    AND
    WITH THE MOUTHGUARD              RESONSIBLE FOR     IMPROVING THE ATHLETE'S               VERTEBRAL ALIGNMENT,     MUSCLE RECRUITMENT AND        FORWARD HEAD POSTURE:
   1. CAN WE INCREASE THE VERTICAL LEAPING ABILITY
1-2-4" BEYOND THE PLAYERS CURRENT LEAPING ABILITY 
   2. CAN WE IMPROVE HIS AIRWAY DYNAMICS TO HAVE BETTER STAMINA AND ENDURANCE IN THE LAST 10 MINUTES OF THE SECOND HALF WHEN MOST GAMES ARE WON OR LOST 
    3. CAN WE MAKE BETTER HIS STENGTH, BALANCE, AND FLEXIBILITY
    4. WITH A  BETTER FOOT TO GROUND PLATFORM CAN WE IMPROVE UPON BOXING OUT, POSTING UP AN OPPONENT AND KEEP YOUR POSITION IN THE PAINT
