Hi this is Sean Hobson. One thing you have to understand about the game of basketball
is you must be a good rebounder and in order to be a good rebounder you have to learn the
basic fundamentals of rebounding. Now we're going to take you through the step process
here. Once the shot is up and this man knows that the shot goes up, this is the guy that
he's supposed to be guarding. The first step to being a good person in boxing out is you
don't turn and look up at the goal, instead the first thing is you have to find your player
on the floor. Now if your player is close to you like these guys are right now it's
pretty easy, you just reach out, you got a man in front of you. But if he's back, go
out to the top of the key, and he's back in help side and he's looking at the ball in
this direction, once the shot goes up, now he has to turn and find his man. His man is
going to be crashing the board. Now here's the important step, he's going to be coming
in to crash the board. He has got to not only find him but he now has to go out and make
contact with him. That's the most important thing, if you don't make contact with your
guys, he's going right around you. So what you're going to do is you're going to take
your fore arm, you're going to go out, you're going to find your player and you're going
to lock into him. Once you make contact with him that's then when you're going to spin
your body in position to box out. So first of all the shot goes up, you find your player.
Secondly you go out and you make contact with your player. This is a fun thing if you're
a contact person a football person. Go get that guy and make him feel you and know that
you're there on the court. That's the next step to boxing out.
