3 Unique Drills to Become a LOCKDOWN Defender

Defense is 50% of the game... yet I'd say the average hooper spends 90% or more of their time training offense. Here are 3 ways to target qualities that will make you a much improved defender.

Love this sh*t!!! Defense isn’t talked about enough. Can’t stand being on a court with someone that doesn’t understand the basic principles, so it’s important for kids to get this work in as they develop. Definitely going to utilize these drills with my kids in the gym! As defenders, the worry is getting a steal, getting that block, or giving up a bucket… When all we need to do is simply get in the way and just make it difficult, because OUR offense is going to be there. Simplify.

That overhead ball defense is a good drill never though about that but it looks like a useful drill

Yeah I'm more of a handsy defender where I strip the ball (without fouling) because im not that quick defensively, just have a nice defensive IQ cuz im a point guard so thanks for the video

You can’t teach anticipation and instinct that comes natural, defense is also effort and mentality along with intelligence. Those drills can teach positioning but the person still needs the other attributes to actually be a good defender.
