Defensive Love

The push-step is key to being an explosive defender. The reality is you only have to do 2-3 pushes one direction before you either have to turn and run or push 2-3 more times the other direction! The back leg has to be the driver. Have to remove any front leg pulls(negative step)

Playing off of two feet is crucial to be great at basketball. Jalen Brunson is best in the game at that!

[DJ Zullo @DJAceNBA]

Three more wins and this shot will live on forever.

You can impact the game in so many levels without scoring the ball!

Playing off of two feet is what makes him so great! Elite skill to have

[Kyle Collinsworth @collinsworth55]

People see Jalen Brunson and think he is not athletic because he doesn’t jump high. In basketball he is athletic because

1) he has a super quick first step
2) he can change directions super well
3) he can decelerate with the best of them
4)He plays off of two feet

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

This is what we preach at Defensive Love! You can greatly impact and change the game without scoring! We focus on the 80% of the game that produces wins like Josh Hart did tonight.

[Legion Hoops @LegionHoops]

Defensive Love isn’t about teaching defense.

It’s about teaching players how to impact winning.

Defense just happens to be where most players are leaving the biggest opportunity on the table.

Helping teams build a defensive culture!!

[Kyle Collinsworth @collinsworth55]

Had a great 3 day @DefensiveLove basketball camp at Grace High School working with the girls bball team and the youth in the community!

Shoutout to @kylechri11 for having us come for a third straight year!!

Training the defensive side of the game! 💪🏼🏀

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

I like the idea of this but as an offensive player I can easily reject that screen. Need to get attached to the him and force him into the screen

[Hoop Herald @TheHoopHerald]

Love this

“No switch” drill

What you rep you perfect

Don’t get mad at your guards for how they defend ball screens, and then never work on it

Foot work, effort, keeping them out of the paint

Great stuff

Kids group today showing us their best defensive stance! Great day 2 of camp!

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

At a 3 day camp in Grace Idaho working with the girls high school basketball team! We started working with them summer of 2023! Grace has built a strong identity and culture of tough defense! This is why they hang banners!

Coach @kylechri11 is a great coach!!

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

The best defenders aren’t always the fastest.

They’re the best decision makers.

They know:

When to help.
When to stay.
When to rotate.
When to recover.

Defense is intelligence expressed through effort.

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

Great fuel for basketball players!

[Kyle Collinsworth @collinsworth55]

I’ll be protein ready for the week!! 💪🏼

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

Our Defensive Love Certified player @yochilds22 was the MVP in Japan this year!!! He keeps getting better and better!!

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

Great dribbling drill to create some unpredictability! Making players make quick decisions is key! The more decisions players make the better they will get at making decisions!

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

@AKC_GBBALL_AFHS @collinsworth55 Let’s do it! I’ll let you know!!

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

Great exercises for basketball players

[Kyle Collinsworth @collinsworth55]

If you want to take an upper body workout and add legs into just do every upper body workout while doing a walk-sit! Shoulder press, hammer curls, curl to shoulder press, front and side shoulder raises etc!

Keep workouts simple so you can stay consistent

[Kyle Collinsworth @collinsworth55]

If you want to get in basketball workouts this summer @DefensiveLove or do our online trainings message me! Trying to train any kids who want to train and get better in our Defensive Love System!

[Defensive Love @DefensiveLove]

Proper spacing is key to being able to stay in front and contain the ball. Repping this out daily helps players
Learn their own proper spacing based off their length, speed, and mechanics.
