“Don’t step backwards!” 🙄

I have heard coaches say that my entire life, but today I will tell you otherwise. Leverage is super important. Without leverage we will never be as explosive as we could be.

Dropping a foot backwards does not mean that your frame moves backwards (loses space). It actually will make you quicker!

In this workout we focus on:
• Creating leverage
• Playing w/ limited space

It is hard to be explosive out of a squared stance. Taking a slight step backwards with your inside foot can allow you to get into a sprinter stance.

10 reps
2x thru

• Start with the ball in your right hand
• Drop your left foot as you pocket the basketball

Drop Pivot Breakdown

10 reps
2x thru

• Start with the ball in your left hand
• Drop your right foot as you pocket the basketball

20 reps

• Take 2 dribbles and pocket the ball as your drop your opposite foot
• Crossover as you step into a squared stance

Drop Pivot Cross

Being explosive downhill can force your defender to over pursue. If they slide to cut you off a behind the back exchange can be an excellent way to change direction.

Make 5

• Use a drop pivot to attack to the right
• 1 dribble stop exchange
• Attack opposite into a 1 dribble floater

Drop Pivot to Stop Exchange Floater

Make 5

• Use a drop pivot to attack to the left
• 1 dribble stop exchange
• Attack opposite into a 1 dribble floater

Drop Pivot to Stop Exchange

This segment shows you how to attack the defender’s high foot when it appears that you don’t have the proper space or angle.

Make 5

• Ball in the right hand
• Step back with your right foot and dribble BTL
• 1 dribble pull up

Inverted Drop Pivot - Stop Exchange

Make 5

• Ball in the left hand
• Step back with your left foot and dribble BTL
• 1 dribble pull up

Getting your feet under your hips and your eyes to the rim sells shot! Forcing that close out creates an opportunity to attack.

Make 5

• Spin a pass
• Perform a reverse pivot with your left foot as your pivot foot
• As soon as your right foot contacts the ground shot fake and drive your right foot back
• 1 dribble pull

Shot Fake to Starter Step

Make 5

• Spin a pass
• Perform a reverse pivot with your right foot as your pivot foot
• As soon as your left foot contacts the ground shot fake and drive your left foot back
• 1 dribble pull

Day 11 - Shifts

I liked the shooting counter to the finishing, the defender will think you are going to drive, but then it is a wide open easy shot

Day 12 - Drop Options Pt. 1

I liked the counters to the defenders sliding and trying to cut off the lane

Day 13 - Drop Options Pt. 2

I liked the finishing circuit at the end to solidify the concepts that we went over today.
