Controlling Pesky Defenders
Whether your defender is physical, fast, or just extremely athletic, don’t allow them to control your offensive game. While average players tend to slow down or speed up with a pesky defender on them, good players can turn to these four techniques to establish their best position on offense:
- Walk It Out
- Reverse Pivot
- Open Dribble
- Sever The Angle
PGC Director Marke Freeman and PGC Director of Player Development Tyler Coston will show you the best ways to create separation and remain in control on the court.
