Improving your score by using the fastbreak

2006-12-31 00:00:00

1) A successful fast break offense only comes after each player has embedded a "Look for the fast break opportunity every single time" mentality. 2) Fast break opportunities are created in the back court through quick recognition. 3) Keep your focus balanced properly between a rebounding, cutting and defensive perspective. 4) Always keep your focus down the court searching for the chance to implement your team's fast break offense. 5) Whether you're using the dribble or pass, get the ball down the court as fast as possible. 6) Don't get sloppy just for the sake of trying for the fast break. 7) Always finish the fast break with a good, high percentage shot. Don't become wild. 8) Be sure to develop patience. A fast breaking team is one more prone to mistakes. You need to take the good with the bad. 9) Every player must hustle into their lanes in order to create the necessary options for their teammates. 10) Be sure to invest the proper amount of time on fast break drills to master your craft.
