I think it's very true for people that are not that good skill-wise and doesn't have respect from others once you get aggressive although without good skills people will start to respect and honour you
That’s very true. Recently I was known as the worst player on the team. Eventually I got pissed and started playing harder than everyone on the court. Even though I don’t have the best skill I’m definitely not the worst player. I get more rebounds steals and defensive stops as well as better open looks. Effort and aggressiveness is 80% of the game
I used to hoop in college pickup ball and as a short person, i am the player who loves attacking the rim. Hustle, slashing and basketball iq allows you to get the respect you need on the floor. Defense is such an underrated skill to learn as it also allows you to get the respect you deserve on the court.
Time stamps 1:38 attacking your defender - divide the defenders body into 3 segments. Imagine opening a door if u bump them on the side. On the middle, absorb the contact and protect the ball with off hand, keep going to the rim to finish 4:20 off ball offense - Hit ur defender first, establish this early on in the game. step between the defenders legs and create contact with shoulder, bounce out to recieve the ball 7:14 on ball defense - staying aggressive on defense pro tip. Count the times you talk and hit the offensive player
oh wow thank you so much! my dad says im aggressive on defense but im not on offense. i sometimes overthink on offense and doubt myself and i always mess up. this is great it really helps! Thanks!
This is amazing! Instead of moves to use on offense like every other coach teaches u teach how to use the body for us who don’t understand the best way to drive
Ive been playing ball for 10+ years and attacking at an angle for a short guy is a huge advantage. It creates many options and possibilities, and also speaking from a guard perspective, don't stop your dribble and use your body to shield the ball from your defender. Ball handling is so important as a guard as it creates many possibilities to your game
lol I had my first game yesterday, even though we won, I still cried after it because I knew that I could do better than that, and the whole time I wasn’t trying. And then what makes it worse is the fact that I fell multiple times, people laughed, and it was just embarrassing, so I have to watch this video. I knew that whatever it’s called “passiveness” was holding me back, because I never act like that during practices, or if I’m playing a 5v5 with my friends. So I’m tryin to get better at being on the court especially since I’m starting
i agree with these points. I think this was one of my challenges when i was still trying to figure out what kind of pointguard i wanted to be where you’re constantly shifting between aggression/passivity in both def AND offence.
Jordan Lawley Basketball hopefully some day ! Need to save a chunk 💵 up first . Keep the tips coming nobody focuses on them in great detail like yourself man 🏀👊🏼
Aggressiveness is a key. I'll never let my defender get easy pass or buckets. Shoulder release looks great, i have to try it. I always trying to establish my position aggressively, also i love give contact, but i do it now not so good. My contact now is slow, weak. I keep on learning!
Literally watched this last night, I went to practice today and put it to work and I feel incredible, I really want to move away from center being 6’4 at a small school
I felt I needed this after I got hit in the face and laughed at during a game I’m going to be aggressive one now I was trying to be nice because I believed we were friends but apparently “friendly” competition is okay so I’m excited for Monday when I can show them every thing I have learned over the weekend I’ll be showing up with a bruised lip and a new confidence ( the worse part is that little “friend” didnt even get a foul because the coaches didn’t see it there backs were turns for a second)
@@slappyhappy6192 2v2 KOTH and 21 have both helped me a lot on 1v1 finishes at the rim and working on post moves because I’m not athletic, but I’m strong and big and athletic enough so I know I can get around people and bully most of them in the paint if I want.
I've always been very athletic on the court. Great handles. Good shot mid range. And great defense. But always struggled playing 4 on 4 or 5 on 5. Teammates always getting irritated with me. This video made me realize why. Thank you bro Edit: trash talk isn't a problem. Love doing that shit 😆
Thank you for this video, once my Coach in the valley said, "You gotta be a dog out there dude." I think that is something unagressive players need to hear!!🔥🔥
Really helpful. I’m going to share this with my 12 year old who is a insanely good shooter but has almost zero aggression attacking…why are you located?
I'm no coach but what worked for me is just letting them know you're there. As soon as they pass half court literally just bump, touch, swipe, chest, talk, anything.
when i started training basketball like 5 months ago i was already pretty good since i played a lot of street before, training basketball definitely made me better because you focus on the basics yk nothing crazy like windmill layups or like behind the back 360 dribble moves and stuff which makes your handles and shooting better, anyway i had a game and i was going crazy dropping 2 points like every 30 seconds, i got the ball like 9 times and missed only one layup, did 2 mid range shots made both of them, did left and right handed layups with ease, just being very dominant and aggressive on offense. Then of course my coach saw that me and 3 other of my teammates(who were playing already for like 2 years there) were too good to be playing against people like that so he put us in the selections to play for a way better team, basically the start of a road to greatness. There people were 1 year older, taller, everything. Of course i was better than some people but i never could prove to the coach that I'm good enough to be put on the team because I'm always kinda scared to shoot and stuff because the team there is pretty toxic, i wanna step my game up on offense so i can prove to the coach that I'm worthy of being on a team
I love the concept of hitting people off ball especially when you are stronger than your defender. When you hit them it throws them off their stance and attacking or shooting off the catch becomes that much easier as they are off balance
This Video Actaully helped me a lot because i also try to be aggressive but this helped me understand how to manage and correctly be aggressive rather than trying to strive through someones chest thanks Jlaw
thanks for the advice bro! i used to suck in pickup since all i know is to shoot perimeter shots. will try these to get easier shots close to the basket.
Thanks 🙏🏽 I play with a great offensive unit, kind of makes me second guess my shooting ability, but I’ll definitely try this. A lot of insight. Great vid 👍🏽
Having more controlled aggression in anything really helps you see and predict and have more control over the opponent because if they don’t know how to handle you being aggressive, you can start breaking through their mental defense and start predicting their movements.
I need some tips for taller players driving against much shorter players. I'm 6'5 and usually play the 3 and have some trouble when I'm on the perimeter and need to take like a 5'7 player off the dribble. Them being so much shorter puts the ball in their sweet spot to go for a steal
It's a straightforward foul. So does depend on the ref, but you can't through yourself into moving opponent according to the rulebook. Only legal guardian position, which means both feet on the ground. Same can be applied to the second point, when coach literally pushes the defender away with both hands.
Thanks coach one of the only problems i have in my game is i get scared to drive with contact and only drive to the basket when i can get passed my defender and find an open live
My grade 6 basketball coach used to always tell us before the game "basketball is a contact sport", the older I got the more I realised how little others knew that.
Thank u my coaches always tell me that my passiveness is the only thing holding me back

That's basically Russell Westbrook, he might not make the best play at times but his effort and intensity is a talent on its own

This works extremely well against aggressive defenders. People who hit hate getting hit.
Need this. As a long limbed player it’s hard to control the ball sometimes when Im tryna drive. Definitely need to not panic when I hit the paint.
Do this at LA fit and dudes be ready to fight you lmaooo
Hahahah MAJOR FACTS
Always 😂
Thanks for this, only thing holding me back is my passiveness, I only catch and shoot then I have stellar defense.

Great job Jordan Lawley you a good coach no cap.
For the last point with the forearm, how easy would it be to get called for it? Or is that completely legal?
You cannot gain advantage with your free arm but won't get called if your arm is low most likely
It's a straightforward foul. So does depend on the ref, but you can't through yourself into moving opponent according to the rulebook. Only legal guardian position, which means both feet on the ground.
