Get a great work out while learning the proper defensive techniques with the Defensive Slide Bar by Coach Lionel Hollins. Suitable for all skill levels from NBA players to middle and high school.
It’s the tension and restrictive qualities of the Defensive Slide Bar that make it effective. It highlights correct footwork technique and encourages development of strength in your thighs and groin area, to improve quickness for defending the ball handler. With repetition, the Defensive Slide Bar promotes muscle memory, which may increase your ability to react naturally and quickly to any offensive movement while on defense.
*With your purchase of the Defensive Slide Bar you will receive a free digital download of practice drills designed by Coach Hollins specifically for the slide bar.
As the sports and performance coach at Duke University I use the Defensive Slide Bar with both the men’s and women’s basketball teams for strength training. I use it in our off-season agility/basketball footwork training. I also use it in some of our lifting sessions and it has been beneficial for use during rehab with some of the players. I absolutely love the Defensive Slide Bar and will be ordering more. It is a device every coach should have to teach proper footwork/movement training.

Lionel Hollins was one of the best defenders I ever played against. I'm really glad he hadn't invented his Defensive Slide Bar yet when we played against each other or I might never have scored on him! It is a great tool for teaching and reinforcing good defensive footwork.
