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)
Defensive Love focuses on:
High-Frequency Reps
The actions repeated most.
Positioning
Recovery
Closeouts
Communication
Transition
Decision Making

People see Jalen Brunson and think he is not athletic because he doesnโt 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
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.
Defensive Love isnโt about teaching defense.
Itโs about teaching players how to impact winning.
Defense just happens to be where most players are leaving the biggest opportunity on the table.
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! ๐ช๐ผ๐
Love this
โNo switchโ drill
What you rep you perfect
Donโt 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

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!!
The best defenders arenโt always the fastest.
Theyโre the best decision makers.
They know:
When to help.
When to stay.
When to rotate.
When to recover.
Defense is intelligence expressed through effort.
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!
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
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!
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.
