⭕ The "Basic" Ball Screen action of Circle Motion... did I mention the Circle Motion package was just upgraded?

🤩 I am keeping good company with this recommendation from Coach Steed... if you're not following him, you better change that

🎥 What am I working on? My sole focus lately has been the Circle Motion upgrade package... also started working on the Bucky McMillen pressing system and EuroLeague subscription package... updating the Deny and Disrupt Defense product as well as Powerhouse Program Building (these updates will come for free if you already purchased the product receiving the upgrade)

❓Did you know you can get an ALL-ACCESS PASS to my store with 70+ detailed resources for basketball coaches? You can buy it with or without Powerhouse Program Building. This is thousands of pages and dozens of hours of detailed and technical resources for coaches that want to know the ins and outs of dozens of different schemes and systems for implementation with your team.
