Dwight Howard Teaches Rebounding

• You always have to find your man and box out. Make contact, get low, and drive him out. Use your hands too.
• Always be ready and look for the ball off the rim.
• Will and effort to go and get every rebound possible.
• When you get a rebound, secure the ball tightly from the little guys trying to steal it. Pivot out opposite from where the rim is.
• Breaking the box-out. Tap the guy in front on either side of the body and go quickly to the opposite side. Sometimes, you can spin off him to get into position. Another move to use is SWIM move. Dwight explains how to do it.
• Be aware where the shooter is shooting from. The ball is likely to go to the opposite side of the rim.
• It’s all about the WILL and hard WORK.

McHale Rebounding Drill

This is a useful rebounding drill. Since basketball is very physical environment, especially down low. This drill teaches you to be able to do one thing with one hand while doing something else with you other hand. In this case, you are tipping the ball and touching the net (or rim) at the same time. This drill doesn’t have to be done every day, or even every week. Once in ten days, or once in two weeks should be good enough.
