Master A Defensive Stance In Basketball

If you're looking to improve your defensive stance, pay attention to these quick tips for how to develop a solid defensive stance in basketball. Basketball training needs to simulate how you play the sport, which is off of the heels and on the balls of the foot. It's that simple. Here are some of the tips for defensive stance in basketball:

1. When you are on defense, you want responsiveness. Your feet should be in a strong position. Most people have a terrible foot position and put themselves into a position for an ACL tear by pushing off the inside of the foot. Stay on the balls of your feet to stay athletic.

2. You don't want to be too wide when you drop into your defensive stance. When you drop, your ankle should feel like it stiffens up and a strong platform is created. Your heels should come up and stay up.

3. Even though you are moving backwards when defending in basketball, you want to be in a forward drive orientation even though you are in a defensive stance. You always want to be in drive mode to stay responsive.

4. When you are strength training, stop doing any strength training where you are driving from your heels. Sports are played on the ball of the foot.

Stay light on your feet.
