Hope everyone is doing well, I love the questions keep them coming! I had a couple people ask me about ball screen reads. Reminder I will have a zoom community call on this topic tomorrow (11/1), Friday 1p est. I wanted to share some video from a training session I had with a few HS/College players. This particular read was when the defense "ICE" the ball screen. When I played overseas we used the term 'ICE' but it can be called other things as well. Basically the ball defender & screen defender are building a wall to keep the ball handler from using the screen & stay on a sideline. Let me know your thoughts or any questions you may have? COMMUNITY CALL Friday 1pm EST Topic: READING BALL SCREENS & BBALL IQ

Here is a Game Film Breakdown of different examples of how to handle the ball against defensive pressure. Also how I introduce these concepts into a drill for players in training. This is part of my course "HANDLING DEFENSIVE PRESSURE." I have uploaded this full course inside the VIP COMMUNITY. Here are 5 tips to consider when understanding this skill set: 1. Ball Handling skills are developed with repetition, consistency & stress. We have all done the traditional ball handling drills but the skill of handling pressure is developed differently. handling pressure deals more with your body position, protecting the ball & basketball IQ. 2. The players that handle pressure the best have these intangible qualities: POISE, PLAY UNDER CONTROL & STRONG WITH THE BALL. It is hard to really measure these skills but once you see them in a player you can tell that player is special. 3. Most dribbling drills are fundamentally designed for you to attack defenders on their heels, not protect the ball against an aggressive defender. This is why so many players with great ball handling skills still struggle in games against an aggressive on ball defender. The skill of handling pressure has to be taught differently. 4. Once you learn the body position & ball placement its important to practice this against live defense. This is the best way to develop this skill, you have to go live against defense & start learning through trial & error. Cones are not Bones, you have to get used to feeling real defense. 5. Watch great point guards who do a masterful job of handling pressure all game & different situations (traps, full court pressure, setting up offenses, etc). This is why I created my full online course for you guys. If you would like to have access to the full course "Handling Defensive Pressure" to see all the film breakdowns of full court pressure, traps, drawing fouls, getting open on wings, breaking 5 counts, dribbling against great defenders, etc. Its normally $99 but I've put it inside our VIP community which is only $29/mo right now for the first 50 that get inside it!

How can I improve my passing?

i enjoyed the videos i watch them so far

Hry, I coach 13U, 11U and 10U boys. Was a shooter and stretch 4 back in day and looking to expand best approach to teach PG. Was blessed with great PG during playing days but a gap in my teaching approach as a coach. I have spent past 5 years with PGC Coaching and growing. The past 3 years joining Shooters Shot evolution and enjoy teaching people how to shoot and assessed my gaps as a teacher of PG and found CPG. Looking forward to adding PG skills, drills, language and process to my coaching tool kit. Also getting back into game in 40's (just had surgery#9 on knee) and adding drills and PG play to my fitness goals is going to be a blast. Dad of 3 boys. Coach AAU during summer and winter bball and shooting Coach year round.
