You want to know something… 

We have never seen a great basketball player play with their hips high and their feet together. Great basketball players (and all great athletes) are very comfortable with this universal athletic position…

This is one of most IMPORTANT BASKETBALL POSITIONS!

The Breakdown (athletic) Position. 

This is a universal athletic principle.  

UNFORTUNATELY, IT IS ALSO ONE THE MOST FORGOTTEN POSITIONS IN ALL OF GAME OF BASKETBALL! 

Many players are not competent enough with one of the most important skills of the game.  WE SEE BASKETBALL PLAYERS PLAY WITH THEIR HIPS HIGH AND THEIR FEET TOGETHER NEARLY ALL GAME! 

You need this position every single possession - no matter what position you play. Not just on defense but specifically when you are handling the basketball in transition.  You need to become very comfortable and confident with the ball in this universal athletic 

"Breakdown Position”  

 

It is so important to be able to change direction while dribbling the basketball in this athletic position!
