Learn the Unique Science of Offensive Skill Development Created By This "Outside the Box" NBA Trainer
From the desk of: Joe Haefner, Co-Founder of Breakthrough Basketball.
Date: March 16, 2020
Dear Hoops Player or Coach,
Before you do another shooting or scoring drill, I want you to stop.
Because there's a unique new approach to becoming a standout offensive talent who overwhelms helpless defenders.
It's called the "Attack and Counter" method...
And it's a science-based approach to simplifying offensive skill development and developing unshakeable confidence:
- Learning dynamic footwork skills to create an instant advantage against any defender
- Developing an unstoppable "scorer's" mentality (and the moves to back it up)
- Increasing your scoring average and FG % while reducing turnovers
- Mastering pro-level dribble attacks that defenders can't stop (even when they know it's coming)
- Generating easy scoring opportunities in the post, even against bigger players (works for guards, too)
The "Attack and Counter" method finally brings a pro-level training approach to players and coaches at every age and skill level.
And it's already helped thousands of players "breakout" as certified offensive stars.
Best of all, it doesn't require complicated theory or months of training...
Which means you can learn it fast and see quick on-court results, regardless of your (or your team's) age level.
So if you want to vault into offensive stardom next season, pay close attention to what I'm about to share with you.
It's changed the game for thousands of players already, and your game could be next...
Meet Coach Don Kelbick.
Coach Kelbick has spent the last 35 years coaching and training players at every level of the sport.
Here's a brief snapshot of his background:
- Personally trained 14+ NBA players (including Joe Johnson, Bruce Bowen, Raja Bell and Tim Hardaway Jr. and Sr.)
- Conducted over 1,000 basketball clinics and camps for players of all age levels
- 35 years on the sideline (including high school, D-I college and professional)
In fact, here's what James Harden's trainer, Irv Roland has to say about his methods.
"Don Kelbick's training is creative and very effective. As a basketball skills trainer, he is one of the best."
But with as much as he's taught NBA players over the last 20 years, he's also learned just as much from them about how they approach the game.
So he took those insights, along with decades of coaching and an advanced Exercise Physiology education...
And he set out to reinvent the way we teach individual offense.
The result was his "Attack and Counter" philosophy, which we believe is the single most powerful training method for players who want to become unstoppable offensive stars.
I'll now let Don explain his approach in his words...
Best,
Joe Haefner
What is the Attack & Counter philosophy?
Hi there! Don Kelbick here...
Attack & Counter is the unique skill development approach that simplifies the game using a unique "pro-level" attack mentality...
- Doing what you do BEST more than anything else on the court
- Eliminating indecision and driving aggressive action
- Keeping constant pressure on the defense with relentless attacks
- Building players' confidence and belief in themselves
- Creating more quality scoring opportunities specific to player strengths
Using my key insights, we slow the game down and reduce your "decision-making load"...
Rather than learning 100 different moves (and trying to figure out which to use and when)...
You learn the 3 foundational pivots and 3 counter moves that allow you to perform hundreds of moves at an elite level.
You become ELITE at that handful of moves, rather than mediocre at dozens of moves you'll rarely use.
Because at the most basic level, every move contains the same basic footwork, just applied differently.
So if you master foundational pieces, you'll unlock a new level to your game you might not even realize exists right now.
Shooting, ballhandling and finishing are all important skill sets, but there's another overlooked key to executing this philosophy.
Footwork - The "Missing" Fundamental
As legendary Coach K from Duke says, "Footwork is one of the primary prerequisites to becoming a great player".
Everything in the Attack and Counter approach is based on using your feet to create unique advantages.
Great footwork leaves defenders helpless against your attacks...even when they know what's coming.
And the best part is you don't need to learn dozens of different moves.
In fact, if you only ever master the 6 "Attack and Counter" footwork patterns, you'll be:
- Generating open shots at-will in any situation
- Beating your defender off the dribble (even if you're slow)
- Developing a quicker first step
- Getting open for easy off-the-ball scoring opportunities
- Countering with ease and precision when the defense cuts you off
Why is Attack and Counter Different?
Many "advanced" programs these days overload players with complicated strategy and theory about the game.
They give kids 30 different options on offense and wonder why players are indecisive.
This one insight changed my approach to basketball forever...
The more decisions a player has to make, the longer it takes them to decide. And the less confident they are in their decision, which means they aren't acting as aggressively.
With an Attack and Counter mentality, you only ever have ONE decision to make when you catch the ball.
The Triple Threat Myth
Forget "Shoot, Pass, Dribble".
By the time you've thought through all those options, your defender is up in your numbers. Any advantage you thought you had is gone.
If you want to become a true offensive weapon, you need a better strategy when you catch the ball...
One that gives you complete confidence and conviction...
"Shot, shot, shot."
If you're not thinking "shot" when you catch the ball, you're missing the point of the game (to score).
That doesn't mean you need to be a great shooter or shoot every time.
it does mean you should be an immediate THREAT to shoot, because:
- Your best shot is the most open shot (which is usually right after you catch the ball)
- You'll force the defense to guard the shot (opening up counters like penetrating or hitting a cutter)
- Your mind isn't pulled in multiple directions, which means you take action with greater confidence and aggressiveness
If You'd Like To Become a Prolific Scorer

Full program details:
Chapter 1: Introduction (6 minutes)
Don Kelbick gives you an overview of the system and what to expect. You learn...
- How and why the Attack & Counter system was developed.
- How the system speeds up development because there are fewer things for players to learn.
- How it simplifies the game for players.
- The definition of being a good player and why the great players simplify the game.
- How to make drills game-like when you don't have someone to pass you the ball.
- How to practice more efficiently.
Chapter 2: Introduction to Footwork and Mentality (61 minutes)
This is the foundation of the player development and where you start.
You learn the basis of the "attacking" technique, footwork, and mentality. Then you learn how to immediately "counter" without thought or hesitation. And you learn a simplified method to learn footwork for ALL positions (post, forward, perimeter, and guard positions).
Players start practicing near the basket (in the post) to get more repetitions and build more confidence. But what you learn in the post area also applies to point guards, perimeter players, and high post play. By building on previously learned concepts, this simplifies the learning process and speeds up player development.
You will also learn...
- How to get more efficient with your feet
- How to get quicker on your first step
- How to dramatically simplify your thought process and virtually eliminate "indecision" on the court
- How to develop a more aggressive (attack) mentality
- How to improve confidence
- How to develop impeccable footwork
- How the pros simplify their attack and decision process
- How the pros utilize their footwork to beat defenders
- How to attack the defense and dictate (control) the situation... regardless of how the defense plays you
Once you complete this chapter, you will know all the footwork. All of the following chapters build on this foundation and show you how to apply the exact same footwork and mentality in other situations.
This dramatically speeds up the learning and development process for players.
Chapter 3: Length & Angles (19 minutes)
Once you have learned the footwork, you can start learning how to develop more length and take better angles.
Developing speed and quickness is about all about beating your defender with your first step, separating with the ball, and working in straight lines.
The shortest distance between two points is a straight line -- so if you learn to work in "straight lines", instead of rounded cuts and movements, you get faster.
Don Kelbick takes players through several unique drills to help players develop more length and take better angles to the basket. The unique "length and angle drills" also improve the mentality and confidence for players.
Chapter 4: Ballhandling & Warm Up (40 minutes)
Now that you understand the foundational aspects of footwork, mentality, length, and angles.... you can learn how to apply the same concepts to your ballhandling and 1on1 dribbling moves.

- How to improve your all around ballhandling skills
- How to multi-task to save time and accelerate your development (work on multiple skills at the same time)
- How your warm up should double as a skill development session (your improvement begins the moment you step on to the court)
- Sample warm ups to raise your core temperature and improve skills at the same time
- Dozens of ballhandling drills and variations you can do on your own or with a team

Here's What Players and Coaches Have to Say
"Highly recommend to coaches at any level"
Joe from Chicago, IL says:9/29/2014 at 3:11:18 AM
This comprehensive DVD and ebook set contains a wealth of information for any level of basketball. Coach Kelbick advocates an attacking mindset, and lays out a well thought-out strategy and methodology to support it. The emphasis on footwork in the post, as well as on the perimeter, is excellent, and something I hadn't seen before. The drills are superb, develop multiple skills, and allow for many repetitions. Although I will be using the information to help make youth players better, I would highly recommend this set to coaches at any level, and for players at any position.
"Kelbick is a master teacher/ coach that simplifies things greatly"
Coach K - not Duke :) from Fort Collins, CO says:10/31/2014 at 4:25:35 PM
I don't buy many DVD's. This one is outstanding. Don Kelbick is a master teacher/coach that simplifies things greatly. Footwork is so key to the game. breaking offensive moves to 3 moves and 3 counter moves - whether you are a post or guard, dribbling or not -- simplistic. I'm integrating these footwork concepts into my daily practice. It is very well organized, DVD and PDF. A great buy!!
"Pound for pound the best player development video out there"
Devon from Briarwood, NY says:4/10/2015 at 9:38:14 AM
This dvd can be instrumental to any coach on any level. Don does a great job explaining the drills and stressing the need for players to get a lot of repetitions in. There are so many trainers out there, teaching players various moves that they will hardly ever use. Don teaches footwork that every position on the floor can benefit from. Pound for pound the best player development video out there.
"I'm seeing improvements...terrific resource!"
Kirk says:5/25/2018 at 12:36:39 PM
Great material! I've always had many of the beliefs presented by Coach Kelbick but, his system has simplified it and given me many drills & games to incorporate with my team. Already this Spring since using many of the drills of the 'Attack & Counter System' with some of my players, I'm seeing improvements. More importantly, the kids feel the improvements and are gaining more confidence! Thanks for a terrific coaching resource!
"Coached a long time but still learned a lot!"
Coach Tim Maceyko from Cardington, OH says:4/14/2019 at 8:31:59 AM
I was looking for something centered on improving footwork specifically and this exceeded my expectations. A lot of good ideas and drills on how to improve attacking aggressively and doing it more efficiently. I’ve coached a long time so not a rookie, but still learned a lot! Highly recommend.
Why Attack & Counter is the Most Powerful Approach to Skill Development on the Market
Flexible for Coaches
The system allows coaches to work with just one player -- or a very large group of 30 or more players. It allows coaches to work with players of varying ages, genders, positions, and skill levels all AT THE SAME TIME.
Post players, perimeter players, and point guards can all work together. An 11 year old can literally workout with an NBA player at the same basket -- and both players get an incredible workout. The unique drills allow for this flexibility.
Flexible for Players
A player can take this system and workout by themselves, with a similar ability partner, or with a friend who does not play basketball.
Most other drills and programs require partners or good passers to help you workout. The Attack & Counter System does not.
The system is very flexible regardless of your situation. You just need a ball, a flat surface, and a hoop (indoor or outdoor).
Works for All Positions
The footwork, mentality, and skill work is the same regardless of the position. This is one of the most unique and genius aspects of the program...
This means that if you change positions, from point guard to post player... you have the footwork and skills you need to quickly adapt to your new position.
Coach Kelbick teaches the same footwork and moves to both perimeter players and post players. This allows everyone to work on the same skills and allows players to excel no matter what position they play. Today's post player might be tomorrow's point guard and today's point guard might be tomorrow's post player. You never know.
So one of the best things about this program is the flexibility, the simplicity, and the rapid development players can experience.
Simple
The system was developed by studying pro players. Coach Kelbick found that the greatest players (big and small) simplified their approach.
Coach Kelbick took this concept and incorporated it into his skill development program.
He will make your post moves simpler and more effective. He'll make your perimeter moves simpler and more effective. He'll make your triple threat moves simpler and more effective. He'll make your 1on1 dribble moves simpler and more effective.
Since there is less to learn, players are able to perfect their moves and speed up their development.
Simplified for Coaches
Don Kelbick has also simplified the approach for coaches. This allows coaches to conduct more efficient practices and speed up the development of their players.
Instead of teaching post players and guards different moves... every player learns the same moves. The moves are just as effective (in most cases more so) and it makes your job as a teacher MUCH easier.
Builds on previously learned knowledge
The program is based on applying previously learned knowledge and skills. This simplicity dramatically speeds up the learning and development of players.
All players start with footwork and mentality. Once they learn this foundation, they see how to apply this same footwork and mentality to a variety of situations and positions on the court.
Players learn faster and adapt to new situations faster by building on previously learned knowledge. It's a progressive system that builds confidence.
Improves mentality, footwork, and all around skill
Most programs neglect the aspects of footwork and mentality... which are arguably the two most important aspects to becoming a great player.
The Attack and Counter Systems thoroughly covers almost all aspects of skill development -- with an emphasis on footwork and mentality -- because Coach Kelbick believes those two things will help players more than anything else.
Makes players better
Bottom line is the system makes players better.
Players will improve their footwork, mentality, shooting, finishing, ballhandling, scoring, and all around skill.
Proven
Don Kelbick has been teaching this system for over 10 years. Hundreds of other coaches (including the owners of Breakthrough Basketball... Jeff Haefner and Joe Haefner) have used this system with great success.
Thousands of players have been trained on this system and experience incredible results. It's a proven system that works.
Based on the pros
Most of the system was inspired by studying professional players. Quite often players think pro players must have a complex set of moves and thought process.
That is not the case. In fact, it's the opposite. More complex does NOT mean better.
The pros simplify their approach. The Attack & Counter System applies this concept to develop better players.
