How To Take a Charge With Shane Battier
Three things you need to draw a charge successfully:
- Court vision! You have to know where the basketball is on the court at all times.
- Great anticipation! In a split second you have to know when a player is driving to the basket and you have to see in a nano second if he is out of control. Move your feet quickly to position yourself for a charge.
- Courage! It hurts as much as it looks on TV.
