Coach Justin Brown also known as "JB" is showing the kids how to do a defensive slide. When it comes to the defensive slide I know you must squat down, have your feet apart and slide to the right and you end up sliding in a z formation. In order to do the defensive slide correctly I got some information from a website and it states.Fronts of the Feet - Most of your weight should be on the fronts or balls of your feet and the majority of the weight should be on the big toes. Heel should still be in contact with the ground.Wide Base & Feet Straight Ahead - Your feet should be pointing straight ahead. This creates an angle that allows you to provide more force against the ground.Your feet should also be slightly wider than shoulder width apart.Hips Back & Knees Bent - Butt should be behind the heels and your knees should be pointing forward, but not past the toes.Knees Inside of Feet - This helps create better push-off power.Butt Down - Staying low helps maintain balance.Shoulders Over Knees - Your shoulders should be over your knees with your chest out and back straight or slightly arched. Hands up - Depending on the tactic (Hands out or hand up to defend shot/dribble).Eyes focused on the player's waist or chest.You should be able to draw a vertical line from the front of your forehead thru the front of your knees thru the front of your toes. All of this should create GREAT BALANCE.
