Understand the position
Guard retention starts before the pass is complete.
Matt’s course connects his four lines of defense and battle-for-the-insides principles with specific responses to under passes, stack passes, knee cuts, butterfly passes and standing passes. Work through the defenses in stages, then connect them to your own training.
Work through the instruction at your own pace. Return to the details you need, take them into practice, and keep building your understanding.
