Part 3 - Additional Press Break Resources
If you'd like to learn more about breaking pressure and see on-court demonstrations, we have a few DVDs that we recommend.
We found these resources by surveying our own subscriber list and asking them what press break DVDs they thought were the best. We then ordered the DVDs and reviewed them to make sure they were good.
Now in all honesty we have not viewed every press breaker resource available. I'm sure there are other good ones out there. But these are a few that were recommended to us by our subscribers and also get our seal of approval...
Universal System of Attacking Press - By Will Rey - I like this DVD because it gives you a really simple and effective press breaker that works against any press. You'll pick up lots of good advice and I think this is an all around good DVD.
Mike Krzyzewski: Duke Basketball - Breaking the Press - This DVD gives you some additional tips, several good drills, and reinforces important press break concepts. It's also a good all around DVD.
Note for Youth Teams
If you're getting pressed in a youth league, my suggestion is to find a different league. Presses and traps are VERY counterproductive for youth
players and slow their skill development. Presses, traps, and zone defenses should be against the rules in youth basketball. If you don't believe me,
just listen to pro coach Stan Van Gundy (who also coached his kids' youth team):
