Simple yet unconventional defensive approach

  As a reminder, you can get any and all basketball videos and eBooks in our store for 30% off this week to celebrate our 18th year anniversary.  And since that includes a wide variety of options, I want to give you some direction about some of the products that might be the best fit for you.  Today I’ll focus on our defensive products because the coaches that seem to overachieve each year and make deep playoff runs spend a lot of time improving their team’s DEFENSE.  They often use unique approaches to make it even more difficult for opponents to prepare for!  For example, let’s say that you study your conference (or region) and you realize 70% of your opponents play man-to-man, 20% use full court pressure, and the others use a 2-3 zone defense.   However, nobody plays a 1-3-1 zone defense.   So you decide to use a 1-3-1 zone defense as your primary defense, because hardly anyone uses that defense on your schedule.  And there can be some big advantages to this approach:  1 - Your opponents are not going to spend a lot of practice time preparing for a defense they won’t see that often.  2 - Your opponents will have very few game-like reps against your defense.  That automatically tilts the advantage in your favor!  And this can be a HUGE benefit when playoff time comes.  Then if you combine this approach with modeling the coaching methods and step-by-step process from a great coach with a proven track record…  That’s how you get real results!  Let me give you some examples:   If your area teams mostly play half court defense or at a slower pace, then it's time to turn up the ball pressure.  That’s where you can turn to our new, highly popular [Relentless Pressure System,]( the perfect unpredictable trapping system that incorporates high octane offensive actions.  Coach Hilmer's championship-winning system uses run and jump techniques and focuses on getting blindside traps along the sideline to create turnovers. Players learn defensive concepts and how to play free and fast so you can create organized chaos against your opponents.  Or you could force teams to play at an uncomfortable pace, making them take bad shots they wouldn't normally take by using [Rob Brost’s unique Man Left Defense](. By taking away right-handed layups, fast break layups, and uncontested 3-pointers, you'll disrupt their rhythm and gain more possessions. This defense is a big reason Rob Brost is a 4x Illinois Coach of the Year. Playing in a league with more talented teams?  [The Aggressive 2-3 Zone Defense with Al Marshall]( is an excellent solution.  I saw Al Marshall up close and personal as a coach and player. And I can tell you one thing… he constantly beat more talented teams. This defense frustrates the best of players and leads to uncharacteristic poor play.  [The BRAND NEW Outer 1/3 Defense with Nick LoGalbo]( is another great system to model. That’s because Coach LoGalbo has used his “no middle defense” approach to compete against more talented teams week in and week out in the hyper competitive Chicago area. If you’re looking for a smothering zone defense that your opponents don’t see too often… here are a few other great options!  [The 1-3-1 Zone Defense System with Will Rey]( is an easy to implement solution that will disrupt their offensive flow.  The best bet to confuse your opponents is probably [the Match Up Zone Defense by Don Kelbick](. This signature approach simplifies the game and empowers your players to dominate defensively. And if you're looking for a unique way to control the tempo (instead of letting your opponent dictate the flow…)  Then [the Highly Versatile 2-2-1 Press with Rob Beucler]( has got you covered. Mold your attack to cut off any opponent's strengths in both the full court and half court. You can force more talented teams to slow it down or speed it up and aggressively trap inferior opponents.  Now, don’t get me wrong… you can still play a good ole’ man to man defense and win a high percentage of games… but you better be one of the best defensive coaches in your area.   And there is nobody better to model your coaching after than Jim Huber to accomplish this. His [Man to Man Defensive System]( is the most thorough defensive resource on the market.  And remember, we're celebrating our anniversary with a storewide sale all week, which means you can get a whopping 30% off on ALL our defensive products!  Don't miss out on this chance to spice up your team's defense and be a threat against any opponent.  [Click here to browse the Defensive Collection and secure your 30% discount](  Remember, this offer is only available until Sunday, so make sure you act fast if you’re interested!  All the best,  Joe Haefner Breakthrough Basketball P.S.
