DEFENSIVE TIP

You can literally double the quickness of your defensive presence by incorporating a simple technique.

This quickness allows you to take away easy shots and scramble to close out, even when you get beat to the hole.  Quickness simply makes a defense difficult to score against.

Move on the pass, NOT the catch.

This tactic alone can double the quickness of your closeout and make it seem like you are super quick.

You must start moving to your correct defensive position when the ball is leaving the fingertips of the passer.

This makes a huge difference because most players will start moving to the correct defensive position when the ball is caught.  In fact, most players think that is what they are supposed to do.  And they have developed this bad habit at an early age.

By simply by moving on the pass, you get an extra second to get to your position.  In fact, many times you can actually get to your position at the same time the ball arrives!

The offensive player that catches the ball won't be able to get their shot off.  It will be ridiculous how big of a difference this makes.
