Coaching Points

  • Position your body between the attacker and the center to force them toward the baseline
  • Use your lead arm to cut off the passing lane to the pivot while staying mobile
  • The tighter the corner angle, the worse the shot — keep narrowing the attacker's space
  • Don't lunge for the ball; controlled pressure is more effective than gambling for steals
  • If the attacker attempts a center drive, use your lead foot to cut off the path legally
