What's up basketball world! For today's training, we will have a training video featuring "Practice Handling Pressure | Improve Your Defense" by Pro Training Basketball. Today we got a drill for you that can work on your ball handling and your defense. So, let's get right into it.

Alright, guys so last time, we tell you some principles about improving your defense and now we want to give you a drill that you can apply this with.

So, if you want to do this drill, you're going to need a partner but this is a good drill that you guys can do in practice as well. So, how the drill works is the offensive player's gonna start underneath the basket. We're teaching you so you need a full-court so that's why this is good for practice because sometimes you will have a full-court or sometimes you won't have a full-court to do this. The offensive player is underneath the basket then yourself is the defensive player that will be guarding him. The goal is we're gonna start off going about half speed for the defense man to work on his footwork, and posture and really opening up and things like that.

Then we'll pick it up to the next level where we're challenging the offensive player to score but he needs to stay inside the foul line so we're staying inside the foul line we're gonna go 50% first so I'm here guarding the offensive player. When he's dribbling at me, if he goes to one way, I need to open up kick and push as we taught. So, kick, push, kick, push, when he gets here, I'm going to pivot right keep my outside foot down and then I'm going to go back on the same angle staying in front of him. We're gonna work our way all the way to the other end and then I'm gonna come back on him.

It’s a great drill, it's a very simple drill but some of the best coaches in the country use this drill to help improve each player's individual defense.
