Man to Man Defense Video and Secrets to Improve Ball Pressure

As we explain in our man to man defense ebook, ball pressure is one of the twelve critical keys to a great team defense...

The "right" kind of defensive ball pressure can help you win more games and lower your opponents shooting percentage!

Why?

  1. The only player that can score is the person with the ball. So you better apply pressure and make it extremely difficult for them to score!

  2. By applying the right amount of ball pressure, you make it difficult for the person with the ball to make accurate passes. For example, if you play too far back, it's much easier for the offense to make accurate passes into the post and pick apart your defense! This is a subtle key to a good defense.

  3. Applying good ball pressure can cause turnovers.

  4. Applying good ball pressure can take the offense out of their comfort zone and lower your opponents shooting percentage!

To learn how you can apply better ball pressure and take your opponent out of their comfort zone, check out this great video by Bruce Bowen:

This video includes some great tricks and tips for players and coaches...
