Seth Greenberg: Building Great Defense Through Your Stance

with Seth Greenberg,
Virginia Tech Head Coach;
2005 ACC Coach of the Year

Coach Greenberg pulls no punches in this invigorating defense-oriented DVD. Getting in a stance and staying in a stance separates the average teams from the great ones. Greenberg is so committed to stance he designed an intense "stance workout." This workout develops six great qualities in his teams that include toughness, discipline, togetherness, team bonding, peer pressure and an understanding of on and off the ball stance. Using an entire team, Greenberg teaches the details of defensive stance. Items like foot alignment, elbow position, chest out, head up and outside hand are all important. A stickler for details, he carefully makes corrections to each player's stance. Instead of the standard "step-slide" technique, Greenberg teaches quick and short choppy steps. The goal is to influence to the sideline, but make the offensive player drive through your chest. Other key areas that Greenberg covers are the "slide-run-slide," half-court slides, mirror/trace, off ball stance, slipping screens, deny support, close out technique, "low man wins" and the all-in-one drill.
