Train To Perform Hoops - Lafayette

🏀 Kobe Bryant made a career out of his impeccable footwork and creating space when defenders thought they had him stopped.

Watch Isaac Loechle break it down at Train to Perform! This reverse pivot is a great way to develop footwork, balance, and a finishing move to add to your arsenal.

🔸 How to do it:�• Start on the wing with a chair acting as your defender.�• Attack with a jab series to sell your first move.�• Drive hard to the middle (or baseline on the opposite side).�• Come to a controlled jump stop on two feet.�• Execute a reverse pivot, keeping your pivot foot planted while using your body to shield the defender.�• Finish strong at the rim.

💡 Why it works:�✅ Teaches players to stop under control instead of rushing into bad shots.�✅ Improves footwork and balance in traffic.�✅ Creates separation from defenders using your body, not just speed.�✅ Develops scoring options when the initial drive is cut off.�✅ Builds confidence finishing from multiple angles with either hand.

The reverse pivot was one of Kobe Bryant's signature scoring techniques because it allowed him to stay balanced, protect the basketball, and create a clean path to the basket even against elite defenders.

Master the footwork first. The speed will come naturally.
