Coach Engelstad shows how to transform your team to an elite-level status on defense built on a clear understanding of his three non-negotiables. These include; strong transition defense, excellent ball pressure defense, and solid rebounding. Engelstad builds off of the non-negotiables as he explains his ‘effort chart’ in detail allowing you to implement this with your own program.

Defensive Drills and Skills

You will learn a variety of drills (which emphasize elements of the Pack Line defense) to build on ball pressure with proper closeouts, contesting shots, stunting, and help defense. Coach Engelstad moves through various off the ball screens and how to help, stunt, and recover in these situations. If you are a man-to-man pressure team, you will be able to find some great new wrinkles and teaching points for your players!

Transition Defense

Englestad presents a segment on transition defense that includes various drills and emphasizes the little details that will really help you implement the concepts. His coverage schemes are all broken out - tandem, triangle, and diamond, which covers 3 v2, 4v3, and 5 v 4 situations. All of Englestad’s drills build upon each other, while creating different scenarios and also conditioning.

If you are looking to hold your players accountable for their effort on the court and win with effort plays late into the season, Coach Englestad will show you a way to get it going today!
