Weird defensive tip to keep players out of the middle

 In Coach Nick LoGalbo’s [new Outer Third Defense]( he uses an unconventional method to transform his team’s defense that I want to share with you today.  It’s a prime example of the power of visual aids in coaching.  Because methods like these make it much easier for players to get immediate feedback and self-correct on the fly!  Coach LoGalbo’s “two tape” practice is one of those coaching tips we love to implement… simple, easy, and extremely effective.  When teaching his Outer Third or “No-Middle” defense, Coach LoGalbo places two strategic pieces of tape on the court—one at the top and near the basket.   Why does he do this?  Because the primary goal of his Outer Third Defense is to keep players out of the middle!  Of course, that’s a lot easier said than done since most teams’ primary goal is to get in the paint.  However, this simple visual cue helps players adjust their body positioning, effectively preventing offensive threats from infiltrating the dangerous middle zone.  It's an immediate feedback mechanism that leads to quick adjustments and it’s a clear reminder of your goal as a defender.  Not to mention, it helps you with your coaching!   You can immediately see if an offensive player breaks these lines and provide immediate feedback. It helps both the players and the coaches.  Over time, as players continuously notice the tape and their positioning in relation to the tape, they start to commit the right movements to memory.  Visual aids like these are used by some of the best coaches on the planet…  And that’s why I’m so excited to share our [30% holiday discount on Coach LoGalbo’s innovative Outer Third Defense.  Â](  This step-by-step “No Middle Defense” course can take your defense to a whole new level this season.  It’s easy and quick to implement (you can bring it to your next practice and start seeing results in a few days!)...  And you’ll be able to shut down even your most talented offensive opponents by forcing them into bad angles and bad shots away from the middle. [Get all the details here and claim your special 30% off discount on Coach LoGalbo’s Outer Third Defense (only available until Tuesday, December 26)]( All the best,  Joe Haefner Breakthrough Basketball  This email was sent to {EMAIL} because you indicated that you'd like to receive emails and updates from Breakthrough Basketball on 2016-12-16 05:42:39.
