Summer League Notes And Discussion

And I dont think all the upgrades they are doing are all that functional in terms of the level of training that will be possible. I think it's more focused on just making things nicer for the players, like the level of convenience and comfort.

The Jazz work w/ P3. I'm sure their training staff works w/ the people at P3 and they give them the workouts they want players to do. Utah sends a skills trainer and fitness trainer to travel w/ every player. Bryant worked w/ Hayward, he isn't going to be put in "charge" of the Jazz's training facilities, he isn't a physical trainer. He works under Snyder as an assistant coach. Whoever the Jazz's head physical trainer is in charge of that.

They go to P3, do the testing, then the staff at P3 relays the information to the player and training staff so they can tailor a workout program to individual players.

Mostly I wish the Jazz would get a good strength and conditioning coach and implement their own sports performance. It's great they use P3 but they could do better. Their strength coach is very old school.

The reason they do stuff outside is because P3 can work with the players all off season when the Jazz might not be able to work with them.

I think that might be part of the reason, but I think a big reason is that it's somewhere they can send them that isn't Utah. If you want to keep players happy in Utah, you don't force them to stay in Utah all off-season.
 
And they got a new head strength trainer. They promoted the guy who use to be the head to the director of sports science. The head trainer is really young.

That is probably reasonable. I just want them to do a better job with players here, when they are in town. That would require upgrading the staff a bit.

Probably right. However, Bryant does have a background in training.

From hiring blurb about Bryant in 2012:
The addition of Johnnie will help to further bolster our player development program,” said Utah Jazz Head Coach Tyrone Corbin. “We’ve been impressed with Johnnie’s offseason training of some of our players in the past, and we are pleased to officially make him a member of the Jazz family.

For the past three years Bryant has been operating Bryant Sports Academy, an intense and unique skill development program through which he has worked extensively with more than 125 athletes of various age groups to advance each player’s skill set through personalized workout sessions. Among the athletes he has worked with are numerous professional European players and several NBA players, including Jazz forward Paul Millsap.

So he had already been working with Millsap before he became a Jazz coach. And add Hayward to that list, of course. I don't think it's a stretch to believe a lot of players will be spending more time in Utah during the off-season, working with Bryant and the player development staff.

There is basketball skills training, which is what Bryant does, and then there is physical fitness training, which is something completely different (and which Bryant doesnt do).
