Kevin Eastman's 6 Things to Master on Defense

I had the opportunity to attend the CoachingU Live Clinic hosted by Kevin Eastman and Brendan Suhr. By far it was the most informative and beneficial clinic I have been to here are the 6 things a team must master on defense:

1. Our help positions-Elbow, nail, and block

2. Defensive Rotations-PnR's, Post Traps, Deep penetrations

3. Closing Out. Early help means you must close out.

4. Reaction to jabs. 6 inches back on a jab.

5. Dig. "Feel the presence of the second defender." Do not commit.

6. Cross matches. When in transition you guard the person who is guarding you.
