Is this true??

Agree with Austin here. Especially the part about being robotic.

As a trainer, I agree with him. WITH THAT SAID….how many people are Prime James Harden? 1. at the end of the day, I think trainers can add value to a workout, but the real improvement comes from consistency and reps, whether you’re in the gym by yourself or you have a trainer advising you on things to work on, I definitely think there is some truth to what he’s saying, but having a trainer or workout guy is not a bad thing

He isnt' wrong . I am a trainer and I agree with him. We can help you develop basic skills. We can help your imagination along if you don't know where to start. But you have to get alone time and pick-up game time to exercise your imagination and flow. We can supplement.

This the truest thing he ever said and it’s lost now, everybody doing the trainer weird move step bacs …it’s not based of free flow reactions no more

I agree!!!! I def believe there is a time and place for a trainer. But, nothing substitutes the growth of an athlete more than the willingness to put in the work alone and hone your craft from pure determination and grit. The holding “yourself accountable” attribute.

Shout this from a rooftop…TOO MANY GAMES and STRUCTURED DRILLING

no wonder james harden never won shit

Austin Rivers is the son of an NBA former player and league current coach. Austin was also trained in a gym with expensive pro trainers at an early age.

Trainers are SOOO over rated! Go to the park, shoot, handle, lock someone up, and learn to play the game.

100% also gives players the opportunity to think about the game at a deeper level where would the defence be, how would I adjust or get a shot off, counter etc.
