99% Of Undersized Guards Are Going To Get Left Behind...

The game has completely changed.

Guards have gotten bigger, stronger, and more athletic.

We now live in a world where there are 6’6, 200lb point guards with lightning-quick handles and 40-inch verticals.

This has made it more difficult than ever for smaller, less athletic guards to stand out.

The average point guard in the NBA has a wingspan of 6 foot 6.

This is longer than most "centers" at the high school level.

If you're an undersized guard that is not willing to adapt, you'll get left behind as the game continues to move in this direction.

But with this change comes an opportunity...

Although players have gotten more athletic, the way most athletes think about the game has not evolved.

The point guard who can be an extension of their coach, understand different reads, control the tempo, and run the show on a mental level has become increasingly rare.

Think about some of the smaller guards in the NBA.

Darius Garland is just 6 foot 1 with an equivalent wingspan.

Jose Alvarado is 5 foot 11 with a 6 foot 1 wingspan.

Jacob Gilyard is only 5 foot 8...

There's a reason why players like this have been able to find success in the league.

What makes them different?

How are they able to compete with the bigger, more athletic guards?

Luckily, the answer to those questions is something that anyone can learn and implement.

Even if you’re undersized and on the lower end of the athleticism scale

So What's The Solution?

To make it as a smaller guard, you have to be systematic.

There's a version of you that can read the game at an entirely different level.

You can process the defense at a higher speed than others.

You can learn how to become a leader on your team.

You can develop the confidence to play with freedom and confidence.

And you can learn how to become an extension of your coach on the floor and truly run the show from the point guard position.

On this page, you're going to learn why becoming a modern, "hybrid" guard is necessary for you to compete at the next level.

It all starts with this:

The 3 Concepts You Need To Understand

1. The Guard Killer

2.  Quick Triggers

3.  Anchored Feet To Handle Pressure

Before I get into these 3 concepts, I want to quickly talk about the trap that most undersized guards fall into...

They can perform in practice but can't put the pieces together in real games.

Sound familiar?

If you're reading this, you're probably a gym rat.

You've perfected every drill, you watch film, and you truly put the time in to become the best player you can be.

But once the lights come on, and the game starts it feels like all your preparation goes out the window.

You start worrying about making mistakes.

After you turn the ball over, you look over at your coach and see a look of disappointment on their face.

Next thing you know, you don't want the ball in your hands.

Instead of playing with freedom and confidence, you stop playing to win, and start playing to not mess up.

You're stuck in your own head, with a pit in your stomach, knowing that you're not showing everyone what you're capable of.

And here's the worst part...

You end up watching players who put in less time than you, play the way that you know you can.

They didn't put in the reps.

They didn't stay after practice to get up more shots.

They're not watching film.

But they seem to turn it on when it really matters.

It's the worst feeling in the world watching from the sideline as other players get all the praise.

Here's How To Stop Overthinking And Put Your Brain On "Autopilot" In Real Games:

1. Becoming A "Floor Spacer"

The first step to becoming that confident, dominant version of yourself is developing trust in your jump shot.

Specifically out of the pick & roll.

This is the first key that unlocks the game for undersized guards.

I can't stress this enough.

If you cannot knock down shots coming off of ball screens, you will not make it at the next level.

But when you master this, the game opens up.

Instead of being stuck as a "floor condenser" you become a "floor spacer."

And a whole new world of opportunity and attacking situations opens up to you.

Here's how to implement this into your game:

2. Getting Off The Ground Quickly In your Jump-Shot

If you are an undersized guard and you don't have the ability to get off the ground quickly, it's gonna be extremely difficult for you to get to your spots.

We studied the top 50 scorers in Mens Division 1 basketball.

16 of which are under 6 foot 3 and 15 of them all had one thing in common:

They jump very high, or very quickly when they shoot the basketball.

This is someone that almost no one talks about and even fewer people understand.

You can get away with having a slower, set shot when you're playing against unathletic smaller players.

But as you play against better, bigger competition, you NEED to be able to shoot quickly.

Here's the key to developing a lightning quick jumper:

3. Having Anchored Feet

Most players do not understand how to anchor their feet to the ground when they have the ball in their hands

This makes their moves predictable and easy to guard while simultaneously making it more difficult for them to get into their shot with ease.

Trae Young (who's only 6 foot 1, 165lbs) is the perfect example of a player who has mastered anchored feet.

He's able to change directions on a dime and move in an "unnatural cadence."

This allows him to slow the rhythm of the basketball down and be prepared to take off at any given moment.

It's a crucial element for smaller guards when trying to get by bigger defenders and always being ready to attack.

You Might Be Thinking...

"Alright DJ, I understand these 3 concepts, but how do I implement them into my game?"

Introducing: The Modern Point Guard System

A Fool-Proof Guide For Players Under 6 Foot 3 Who Want To Become The Modern, Hybrid Guard That Is Necessary To Make It In Todays Game

Here's What's Inside:

Section 1: Essential IQ

These are the intangibles no one talks about that are hidden in the game.

Everything from how to think about the game, how to be a leader, how to be an extension of your coach, etc.

You are going to learn how to see things on the court that no one else sees. When to slow down the tempo, when to speed it up, when to attack and how to pick your spots.

This will make you an extension of your coach and you'll truly be able to run the show from the point guard position.

Section 2: Essential Skills

How to use deception to your advantage and dominate against players who are bigger and more athletic

There is a way that all smaller guards have to move that allows them to get to any spot on the floor.

You'll learn how to change speeds and how to be deceptive with the ball in your hands.

Developing anchored feet and unnatural movement patterns is your key to being able to get around bigger defenders.

You'll be able to slice through the defense and keep your defender on their heels.

Most of all this will teach you how to handle pressure against physical defenders so you can still be in attack mode without turning the ball over.

Section 3: Building A Mid-Range Jumpshot

How to develop a "stop on a dime" mid range jumper and why it's necessary to open up your game

Most players struggle in the "red zone," which is the area between the 3 point line and the rim.

This is because they only have two options when attacking: Go to the rim or kick the ball out.

In this section you'll learn how to develop a lightning quick mid range jumpshot which is the secret to finding success when attacking.

As you play against bigger and better competition this is crucial as you'll gain the ability to either pull up, kick the ball out, or attack the rim

It'll add an element of unpredictability to your game that makes you harder to guard.

Section 4: Developing A Quick Three Point Shot

How to ensure that you're always able to get your shot off by springing off the ground into your jumper

All high level, smaller guard get off the ground quickly in their jumpshots. It's a necessity to make it against bigger opponents.

Understanding this will make you a tough shot maker where you can light it up when necessary.

You'll need a little space to operate on the floor which is crucial when coming off ball screens, step backs, and pull-ups.

A slow release and makes it difficult to get your shot off against bigger players which turns you just a facilitator. 

And todays game, there's no room for small facilitators anymore (we'll show you how to avoid this).

Section 5: Confidence

How to stop overthinking and transfer your skills into real game situations so you can play with freedom

Confidence is everything.

If you're trapped in your head, worrying about making mistakes, you'll play timid.

This leads to passiveness, turnovers, and simply doesn't allow you to play how you know you can.

In this module you'll learn how to unlock your killer instinct and show everyone who you really are.

You'll no longer be stuck watching others succeed and you'll play with that flare that you know you have inside.

We'll help you shift your identity and discard the old beliefs and thought patterns that are holding you back.
