Step Slides

Having strong feet, legs and groins is crucial to be an effective defender.

The On Court philosophy is about improving (1) Balance, (2) Body Control, (3) Change of Direction and (4) Economy of Motion. So when you view a video like the one below, view it from that perspective. It's about strengthening the feet. It's about strengthening the legs and even your groins. It's about learning how to pivot and change direction, and perhaps most importantly, it's about training your body to maintain a defensive stance for extremely long periods of time. We all know that as soon as the defender comes out of their stance, the offense wins.

This video teaches the foundation for a proper defensive stance.
