Building an Elite Half Court Defensive Mindset

Good team defense begins before the shot. It starts with body position, early communication, and a shared understanding of which space the defense is protecting. This session focuses on the habits that help players stay connected when the offense moves the ball and changes the point of attack.

The session is still relevant after the live date because defensive awareness compounds over time. Athletes can revisit one rotation, one communication cue, or one recovery habit and bring it into the next practice immediately.
