In this 49 minute clinic, Coach Mike discusses creating a defensive scheme, great individual defensive technique and unique drills to develop elite defenders.

Part 1 focuses on the finer details of a defensive scheme and how we as coaches can make sure we are putting our players in position to succeed on the ball. With this information you will be able to construct a defensive scheme specific for your needs, evaluate your current system and find holes in your opponent's defenses to exploit.

Part 2 is a video breakdown of key techniques used by great players including stance, footwork, steals and more.

Part 3 concludes with Coach Mike's favorite drill progression to developing an elite defender using the upward stance and many other coaching cues, keys and more.

This is the perfect reference for a coach looking to develop elite on-ball defenders and do so within an elite defensive scheme.
