1

Your goal

Make the catch harder and the finish later. Your job is to make the possession take one extra decision, not to block the shot.

2

Starting position

Play lower than usual. Chest angled slightly toward baseline. Top foot up just enough to discourage the middle drive.

3

First contact

Stronger players want your hands involved. Keep contact in your chest so strength does not turn into a foul.

4

What to take away

Don’t let them catch two feet inside their comfort zone. Push the catch one step out.

5

Practice this

Three-dribble containment. No reach. Vertical contest. Box out before looking for the ball.
