  • How To Play Power Forward in Basketball, in this video I breakdown how you can be a Power Forward and how to score and defend as a Power Forward. A Power Forward in Basketball was traditionally a player who backed up the Center in the low and high post. However, now the Power Forward is becoming more of a Forward and Guard who can share in the duties of slashing to the rim, create backdoor options for scoring and having the ability to guard most positions.

    I just want to say thank you so much for these I am going to play basketball for the first time this year because my parents haven't allowed me to play until now. I don't know what exact position I'll play but I did see your video about center and that helped me understand so much,this video is also helping a lot as well.

    Thanks this position is good for me, I noticed that my dribbling skills were bad, and my 3s were horrible. I am tall and have weight. I am kinda good at shooting at the elbow. I need practice tho

    • @bballcoachallen
      @bballcoachallen  3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

      thats good, but I do suggest practicing your shooting as every player needs that going into the future. Also ball handling most likely as well as we now are seeing 7 footers coming into the league over the next 3 years who can handle the Basketball like a guard.... We all got to start somewhere, I know you will be great

    Power forward is the easiest position to play IF you have the physical qualities (strength, height). Block out, take the charge, hit the offensive boards, etc.

    Hey coach so as a 6'1-6'2 pf.for my intramural how can I improve my positioning on the mid post like my low post work.is solid and my jumpshot I'd decent but I struggle with angles cause I usually like to use bank on my mid-range like the reverse pivot ducan bank shot . But what other angles can I take in the mid post to.kind of have a better shot sometime I feel I'm.to far and sometimes to close I usually postion my self around the mid post so usually around the second block

      work on skills for all positions but you'll most likely be a Forward and depending on the team you may be a guard ... 90% chance Forward (SF/PF) while if your school was like mine when I was in grade 7/8 our starting lineup was all 6 footers except our PG

      if they're posting you up, start pinching their lower back... they will not want to post you up any more and usually not seen by refs (yeah thats a cheap move lol) ... the other way is to have your team talk on defense and have you switch off for a different player.

      squats... try the 100 squats a day challenge ... I would also suggest doing the 100 sit ups ..... every 2nd day do 100 pushups and as many pull ups as you can.... after 2 weeks add 30 squats and lunges every 2 days .... do this for a month and that will very quickly make you stronger

If you don’t grow 4+ inches in the next year, stick with being a guard. You can develop your guard skills by doing that then if you do end up growing alot later on, you can go back to the frontcourt like Anthony Davis did. He was a point guard in HS then grew throughout the years and went to a PF. That’s why he’s elite as a PF; originally a PG.
