Improve defense by practicing soft shots in a smaller court.

What Your Guru Thinks
This is a really insightful lesson for anyone struggling to play controlled defense. The coach cleverly uses a bench to simulate a smaller court, forcing you to play softer and more strategically. It's a great way to reduce the urge to rush defensive shots and develop better ball control. The drills and mini-match idea are practical ways to implement these techniques and make your defense more solid.
