  • This basketball video is 47 minutes in length
  • It contains 8 chapters.

    Coaches need stoppers, basketball defense wins championships. This video isn't for the flashy player, it's for the player who truly wants to win.

  • Like all the Better Basketball videos, Better 1 on 1 Defense was written, filmed, and edited with the goal of helping players who have a true desire to do whatever it takes to take their game to the next level>
  • Details:
  • Chapter 1: BODY CONTROL: THE BASICS OF STANCE

    In the first chapter of Better 1 on 1 Defense, the most fundamental element of a good defensive player is discussed - the stance. All the basics are covered, but of course Better Basketball takes things to a new level...

    Coach Rick Torbett also dives into advanced concepts like using your lead hand to prohibit or discourage the offensive player from certain maneuvers. He also explains the rationale and benefits of positioning your head directly over your center of gravity, to ensure proper balance and the ability to explode in any direction.

    3 minutes, 53 seconds.

  • Chapter 2: DEFENSIVE FOOTWORK: SPEED THROUGH EFFICIENCY

    The video's second chapter is its longest; and h8igh caliber content fills up every second. Coach explains the five movements that every player must master to become a dominating defender. He also details how each movement is used in real game situations.

    You must be able to use these movements at any speed, in any direction, and you must be able to change from one to another. If you can cut a player off using the push-slide-step but you can't take the charge, you have a weakness. If you can slide step at cheetah speed but you can't swing step, your quickness is useless. If you can jump out of the gym but you can't close out properly, offensive players will drive past you with ease. But with the techniques in this chapter, you can become an offensive player's worst nightmare!

    8 minutes, 16 seconds.

  • Chapter 3: DEFENDING THE DRIBBLER

    Most of the techniques in the video's third chapter can be applied whether you're trying to contain a cat-quick point guard in the back court, or defending a player getting ready to penetrate from the wing.

    There's a misconception that containing a dribbler is all about speed, but that's simply not the case. Perfect defensive technique can make up for a lack of quickness. With the techniques in this chapter, you'll learn ways to maximize your foot speed, and limit the dribbler's options to the point that he's no longer a threat to score.

    4 minutes, 43 seconds.

  • Chapter 4: DEFENDING THE PIVOT ON THE PERIMETER

    Defending a player in triple threat is the essence of 1 on 1 defense. When the ball is checked, and a player starts in triple threat, he's in the ultimate attacking position. So every technique in this chapter is essential to getting the edge when your man is in triple threat.

    To effectively stop a player in triple threat, you must continually read his feet, his body position, his stance, and his angle. You need every mental advantage you can get, and Better 1 on 1 Defense will give you the edge all great defensive players possess - knowledge!

    4 minutes, 08 seconds.

  • Chapter 5: DEFENDING THE POST

    As a team, you must defend the inside to win, as most teams score the bulk of their points just a few feet from the hoop. In fact, many teams at basketball's higher levels run th4eir entire offense through their post players. Even if a double team arrives, great post players pass the ball to open shooters and cutters. Think Duncan or O'Neal.

    So, if you can contain or shut down your man in the post without needing the help of a double team, your value to your team is immeasurable. You can take away, by yourself, the other team's primary offense!

    And chapter five contains everything you ll need to know to becoming a dominant post defender. The chapter is divided into section like The Foot Battle, When He Gets The Ball, and Confuse the Passer.

  • Chapter 6: DEFENDING THE SHOT

    What should you do when your man shoots? Should you jump and try to block the shot? How about trying to distract him? Do you have the quickness to go for the strip? Or what about simply trying to get a hand in his face?

    The bottom line is that some of these options are effective in making your man miss, and others simply don't get the job done. Coach Torbett goes over all these defensive strategies, and explains which ones work, and which ones don't.

    1 minute, 57 seconds.

  • Chapter 7: WORKOUTS AND DRILLS

    It's amazing how much time we as players spend working on offensive skills - shooting, dribbling, etc. But we all know that defense wins championships. So why don't we spend time drilling defensive fundamentals as well? For most players, the answer is simply that they don't know what to do.

    Well, in chapter seven, Coach Torbett will give you workouts and drills that will improve your defense. Some of them focus on the basic defensive movements from this video's second chapter. Others emphasize improving the type of foot speed and lateral quickness needed on the defensive end of the floor. And still others will drill your ability to react to the most common moves great offensive players rely upon.

    3 minutes, 51 seconds.

  • Chapter 8: GAME HINTS

    The Game Hints chapters on the Better Basketball videos have become extremely popular; as players discover new secrets they can't find anywhere else, and can easily apply to their own games. This edition of Game Hints contains 10 items that you'll use for real improvement!

    The topics covered include an unorthodox way to distract a jump shooter, a method to improve your defensive quickness in the 4th quarter, the keys to stopping the crossover, a section on stopping the spin, and even a section on defensive faking!

    5 minutes, 52 seconds.

  • INTRODUCTION, CONCLUSION & FINAL THOUGHTS

    In addition to the video's eight chapters, there is a powerful and motivating intro in which Torbett dives into the keys of dominant defense, and why the mental edge is so important in becoming a defensive stopper. The video also has a short ending, and some funny out-takes. The total running time of the video is approximately 47 minutes.

    Better 1 On 1 Defense is for players whose goal is to win and succeed. If you're a showoff who craves flas and style, this video is not for you. But if your desires include playing time, winning championships, Better 1 On 1 Defense, along with Better Shooting, Better Ball Handling and Better Passing can make you the winner that coaches love!

  • 30 application specific workouts; need to improve your cross-over, there’s a workout for that; need to develop your off hand, there’s a workout for that. What about improving hand strength? Yep, there’s a workout for that too. And 27 others!
  • Almost 200 individual drills so you’ll never get bored.
  • 3 hours and 10 minutes.
  • The more you can practice dribbling in a high variety of ways, the sharper your handles will be. Better Ball Handling gives you the tools to do it.

    Strength, Control, and Speed Workouts are designed to build the particular handles that you need on the ball in order to perform the moves and combinations that you’ll find in later workouts.

    Two and Three Ball Workouts are meant to train two components of your dribbling behavior. The first is overall coordination with both hands – this will not only improve your dominant hand, but will drive your towards becoming ambidextrous, equally skilled with either hand going any direction. The second is to increase your confidence. If you can handle two or three balls, then one ball is a piece of cake.

    Moving and Moves Workouts add a realism to the stationary workouts. Eventually, you have to exercise your skills while on the move. That’s the way the game is played. 

    Tennis Anyone? These tennis ball workouts are the single best way to train you to keep your head up and not watch the ball while you dribble. Eye-hand coordination is a premium for these workouts.

    Specialty Workouts are named for special situations. Perhaps you need to develop a killer crossover or some particular dribble. I hear comments about how certain players need to work on their weak hand. Well, depending on which hand is the weaker hand, you’ll find a Right Hand Workout and a Left Hand Workout where you never touch the ball with the other hand. These are also great for those times when one hand is injured, or anything is injured. You can really work on your weak hand!

    Four All Around Workouts are designed to build your All-Around Skills within a specific time bracket. There’s a 5-minute MVP, a 10-minute All-City, a 20-minute All-State, and a 30-minute All-American workout. You can combine them to accommodate any schedule. As an example; if you only have 15 minutes, then combine the 5-minute MVP with the 10-minute All-City workout.

    You’ll need a half-court or a full-court for the Imagine the Game Workouts. They are designed to imitate as many game-like actions as possible. Within each workout, there are opportunities for you to exercise some imagination and choose your dribble move.

    I organized Better Ball Handling this way specifically so that YOU can choose the workout depending on your level of expertise. They all begin with simple, easy dribbles and then progress to more challenging levels. Even the workouts themselves are arranged from simple to complex. Many of them last only a few minutes. Now … I could have easily made them longer by increasing the number of reps, but that would have limited the number of workouts on the dvd. If you want to lengthen the workout, then just repeat the workout or double the reps yourself. I encourage you to personalize your training by choosing different workouts from different chapters and coming up with your own combinations. With 30 workouts, you could make a different combination each day for an entire year and still have a variety left! It’s limited only by your imagination!
