1Hey Coach,
I broke my left foot before basketball season so I have to set out for 12 weeks. I would have been the starting point guard. What can I do for the next 12 weeks to stay in shape and my ball handling. I am not allowed to put weight on my foot and I am on cruthes. Are there any things to do while sitting or something?

Hey bhr25,
Sorry to hear about your foot injury. Unfortunately, the only way a broken foot can heal is to get plenty of rest - so you'll be pretty limited on how much you can do for the next several weeks. Here's a few suggestions on how you can keep on top of your game while your broken foot heals:

  • Dribbling Drills - While you're foot may be hurt, that doesn't mean you're completely out. Sit on a chair with your foot up and TV. It'll keep you focused on basketball and you'll learn something from watching the game's best.
  • Play NBA Live 06 - There's an old saying that the devil finds work for idle hands - so put your hands to work with NBA Live 06. Virtual hoops obviously isn't the same as playing on a real court but it's a good way to stay in the game and take your mind of your injured foot.
  • Do you need tips or advice on sports, fitness or health? to the Kidzworld Coach. Keep in mind peeps, the Kidzworld Coach isn't a doctor or a professional athlete or anything like that. He's just a dude who digs sports, plays 'em and knows a lot about 'em. You should always talk to your 'rents, a doctor or your school gym teacher before starting a new sport or a new exercise.
