Improve your level of play. Become a better defender, rebounder, and scorer. Learn to play the game the way it was designed to be played: defend-rebound-finish. Any reversal of the order means your team's skill level and winning percentage will go down, especially, against those teams with superior defenders, rebounders, and finishers. "Just ask the Lakers!" They are a prime example of a team that shoots first, rebounds second, and defends last. The problem with this order is, like the Lakers, your team will find itself getting beat because of poor transition defense. That is, the team going forward will always have the advantage on the team "back pedaling" in transition. THIS IS WHY THE LAKERS CAN'T HOLD A LEAD. As long as they are making shots they're okay because they don't have to chase down offensive rebounds which allows them to get back on defense. Then again, that still doesn't alleviate the problem of weak defensive "one on one" skills which translate into weak team defense." All it takes is one blown defensive assignment. Ask Sasha V. about that play by Ray Allen which sealed the Lakers' fate. Sasha made the fatal mistake of lining up "parallel" to Ray (both feet in a straight line) which allowed Ray to either go left or right; shake or bake with a clear lane to the basket because Phil had told the other players to stay at home (no switching). If a boxer does the exact same thing Sasha did with his feet--guess what?--he gets knocked out! What he should have done was stagger the feet and angle Ray either left or right AND UNDER THE SAME SCENARIO, RAY RUNS INTO ANOTHER DEFENDER ON EITHER SIDE OF THE LANE and just maybe doesn't get that easy layup. Defense must be instinctive--period!

Year Round Training **1 on 1** Small Groups (16 maximum) **Large Groups (30 minimum)**

The goal of DRF Sports Agency is to prepare every athlete for the next level of competition. At DRF we don't preach--we show then tell. What will you find at DRF's training sessions? A trainer (me) that can hit up to and beyond 30 shots in a row from within 30 feet anywhere on the court with the right hand and anywhere from within 20 feet with the left (ambidexterous).

Most players improve their shooting consistency by at least 50% the "first session." Unfortunately, that's not always good! Why? Too many players assume that once they can shoot they've got it made.That's when superior defense "proves them wrong"--ask Kobe about that. Furthermore, the improvement will only become permanent with regular practice. There is truth in the statement that one must continue to shoot after losing his/her touch in order to regain it. The problem with that philosophy is you won't be able to produce "offensively" until you get your touch back--WHENEVER THAT HAPPENS.

Prime example: Ray Allen. He lost his touch during the playoffs and couldn't figure out why. Yeah, he finally got it back but what if it didn't happen during the finals? There's a better way: you must know why you lost your touch SO YOU CAN FIX IT RIGHT AWAY. The problem with Ray's touch was three fold. One, he lost his follow through--shooting hand was coming down immediately after the shot. Two, he was drifting (left; right; backwards); things you can't do when you aren't in the zone as they say. Third, inconsistent placement of the left hand while shooting.

Last but not least, all none believers have an option to get free training if they can beat the trainer in a game of "one on one" or "twenty-one." YOU GET TO PICK THE POISON. Your size, level of play/experience (amateur or pro) is irrelevant. Furthermore, your choice tells me "in advance" what your strengths and weaknesses are. A weak free-throw shooter will not pick 21 if he/she is smart!
