Aggressive half court defense is an critical aspect of a successful program. Using on court demonstration, Jay Spoonhour takes you through individual and group drills to teach the fundamentals of man-to-man defense.

Individual Defense
Coach Spoonhour's first set of drills focus on cutting off drives and denying passes to the wing. You'll see how to develop your players' ability to:

• Create ball pressure and take away vision
• Deny passes
• Maximize foot quickness

The group drills focus on denying the wing pass and cutting off the baseline. Spoonhour focuses on help defense, not giving up easy layups and forcing jump shots.

Using these drills, your team will develop the skills necessary to succeed on the defensive end of the floor. This video is great for beginning coaches and for coaches who need a refresher course on half court defense.

Michael Bradley has coached for over twenty years at the highest level of college athletics, training athletes at institutions including Stanford University, the University of Miami, and the United States Military Academy.

In Volume I of this strength training DVD series, Coach Bradley explains the theory of high intensity strength training, a system of training that integrates knowledge from the fields of physiology, biology, and physics to create reproducible results for all athletes. He also teaches the applications of the theory in the way he trains the Florida State basketball team.

Bradley's goal is getting results from strength training. Strength is not a skill, but working hard and developing strength is. The work ethic shown in his strength program correlates with the hard work players put in on the court to improve their game. The major point of emphasis is learning to train at the right intensity level.

If players are not training intensely enough they will not produce the best results from their training. Bradley is able to maximize their effort and greatly improve their strength in shorter workouts by demanding intense effort and focus from his players.

By constantly tracking progress and focusing on the perfect repetition, athletes are able to show strength increases workout to workout. Bradley explains how to get the absolute most out of your players using high intensity strength training techniques.

If you need a foundation for your strength and conditioning program or simply just need to perfect the structure, this DVD will teach you the philosophical framework of an extremely successful Division I program.
