Basketball Rebounding Skills

$5.00

The Basketball Rebounding Skills IQ Matrix will help you master the fundamentals of how to improve your basketball rebounding skills. Rebounding is a wholly misunderstood aspect of the game of basketball. Many believe that it merely requires athleticism and strength to soar above your opponents and pull the ball down aggressively. This, however, couldn’t be further from the truth. Rebounding is actually a gentle skill that requires patience to learn and master. Moreover, it is a skill, that if learned correctly, will help you out-rebound seemingly taller and stronger opponents.

This mind map breaks down how to develop a solid rebounding technique. Specifically, it outlines what to do before, during, and after you rebound the basketball. The map then walks you through how to position yourself for a rebound and how to box-out when playing against a zone. And it concludes by describing the rebounding technique you should be using when one-on-one.

Who is this map for?

  • Anyone who coaches basketball at a junior level.
  • Anyone who is passionate about improving their basketball skills.
  • Anyone who would like to know how to improve their rebounding skills.

“It’s not whether you get knocked down; it’s whether you get back up that counts.”  Vince Lombardi

  • Zone Rebounding Guidelines: The second branch of this map outlines what to observe and keep in mind when playing a team that’s running a zone defense. This branch also takes you through how to box-out your opponent and how to position yourself for a rebound. Using the guidelines here will help you understand how to maximize your ability to grab a rebound when playing against a zone.
  • Man Rebounding Guidelines: The final branch of this map outlines what to observe and keep in mind when playing a team that’s running man on man defense. This branch also takes you through how to box-out your opponent and how to position yourself for a rebound. Using the guidelines here will help you understand how to maximize your ability to grab a rebound when facing a man to man defense.

This map provides a roadmap and framework for improving your rebounding skills to help you excel as a basketball player. Referencing it regularly and committing it to memory will help you to embed these concepts and ideas into your subconscious mind.

A mind map, of course, does this beautifully because it mirrors the synaptic connections made in your brain as you try to establish new habits of thought and behavior. It brings together key concepts and ideas that help your brain to fully integrate and process this information. The brain, subsequently, rewires itself as it attempts to establish new habits of mind. It’s an ideal tool for creating lasting change and transformation.

Stick with these principles, memorize and incorporate them into your basketball training regime, and you will progressively improve your ability to rebound the basketball and dominate the glass.
