How to break ankles and destroy defenders in basketball
by Mofe Owolabi | Oct 21, 2020
The defender is LOST… the crowd lets out a collective gasp… and it feels like time itself freezes for a split second. But, being able to break ankles is much more than a gimmick.
It grants you the ability to create shots for you AND your teammates.
That’s priceless.
Let’s get into three ways you can get to snapping ankles and shifting defenders.
Change of direction
When trying to create space from your defender, a change of direction is lethal, when done right.
I’m sure that those who play/watch a lot of basketball can agree that lots of ankle breakers come from a crossover, or some sort of stepback/dragback dribble.
This is no surprise.
These two dribbles are so effective because they involve a violent change in direction.
With the crossover, it’s from side-to-side, and with a stepback/dragback dribble, it’s from forwards to backwards.
The reason these changes of direction are so deadly, is because they convince your defender you’re going one way…
Then, BOOM.
You’ve gone in the opposite direction, with your defender in the lost and found.
Here are two keys to making sure your change of direction is effective:
- Make it quick – If it’s too slow, it’s easier for defenders to recover. Consistent dribbling workouts will help you speed up hour dribble
- Make the change of direction DRASTIC – Often, players will fail to shift their defenders because – even though they perform the dribble move – they barely change the direction they dribble in.
This leads on to the next point…
Use your eyes and body to deceive the defender
So, let’s assume you’ve been training your handles and can do all your moves well, with control of the ball.
But, maybe your dribbles still aren’t working on actual defenders.
This could be because your moves aren’t convincing enough.
When using moves that fake from one side to the other, your eyes are a weapon.
Stare in the direction you are faking towards, before exploding towards the opposite direction.
You can also use your body to trick defenders.
Face your chest and shoulders, again, in the direction you’re faking towards. Then, take the dribble quickly in the other direction.
Even on a stepback/dragback dribble, leaning forwards with your upper body at first can help to deceive your defender.
It will look as if you’re driving to the basket. Then, when you dribble backwards they are less likely to expect it.
Change of pace
As you probably know, dribbling slowly in front of your defender the whole time won’t be too effective.
However, dribbling fast the whole time can also actually make it harder for you to break ankles.
Although an ankle-breaker is definitely not impossible, dribbling fast will often alert your defender.
This can ruin the element of surprise, making it easier for them to react to your moves.
(Not only that, but it will probably tire you out too!)
Varying between slow and fast dribbles is MUCH more effective.
This is because the slow dribbles will often “lull your defender to sleep”.
Then, you can catch them on their heels with a quick dribble or fake.
This concept is what makes a hesitation dribble so effective. The ball hangs in the air and under/by the side of your hand as you dribble.
This gives you time to assess your defender, and make a decision.
Once they get too relaxed, often all it takes is one quick move to burn your defender.
As well as the hesitation, here are some more dribbling moves to help you blow by defenders and break ankles.
The 5 Most Common Basketball Injuries and How to Prevent Them
We'll take a look at the types of injuries most common among basketball players according to the National Athletic Coaches Association report to see what the numbers can tell us. As with most sports, sprains, deformities, and common injuries are all the nasty things that can happen, but this information doesn't tell you the interesting details. Let's take a closer look at what injuries basketball players usually get and what to do to avoid them.
1. Foot/ankle injuries
As stated in the report, lower extremity injuries were the most common, with foot or ankle injuries considered the most serious problems. This could have happened after an ankle slip or an awkward jump after a ball. Also, the player can accidentally stumble. Naturally, basketball makes athletes more prone to this kind of injury.
Prevention: To prevent injury to the ankle, it must be supported.
Before entering the playground, make sure your shoes are suitable for this activity. Closed basketball shoes help prevent slipping on smooth playground surfaces. In general, a good pair of basketball shoes will create a higher profile and better ankle support. It will not be superfluous to tape the leg with a special tape to provide additional preventive measures. This method is recommended for people prone to ankle injuries.
2. Hip and calf injuries
Spinning, running, jumping and bouncing put extra stress on the legs and hips, making players vulnerable to various kinds of injuries. Hip sprains and bruises can occur from contact with the ground or from overstretching of the ligaments and muscles.
How to Prevent: Some contact injuries cannot be prevented, but without a doubt, stretching has always been a good start to any workout or game. The more elastic your muscles and tendons are, the less likely you are to overstretch them and injure yourself while playing.
Stretching your thighs is the key to warming up before a workout or game.
3. Knee Injuries
Severe injuries such as ACL tears are not common in basketball. But knee injuries, which are mostly minor sprains and deformities, still rank third on the list of the most common injuries in basketball.
Prevention: Strengthening the leg muscles will help create good support for the knees, so this is where going to the gym can really help. And, as mentioned above, never forget to stretch well before training and playing. If you know that you have problems with your knees, that you are prone to frequent injuries, it would be a good idea to put on a knee brace or fix a brace around your knee.
4. Wrist/Hand Injuries
In fact, it is surprising that these parts of the body are not the most vulnerable to injury, given that the game is played mainly with the hands. But according to the study, only about 11% of basketball injuries occur in the wrist, hand, or forearm.
Prevention: keep hands and wrists healthy and in good physical condition. Be sure to make sure that the ball goes straight into your hands when someone makes a strong pass to you. If you lose visual contact with the ball just before catching it, you can easily injure your fingers. Also, always be careful on the court and avoid clashes of the hands with other players. The less you deal with them, the better. Although, of course, in the context of basketball, this advice seems ridiculous.
5. Head/Facial Injuries
When players hit their heads or there is an unintentional elbow to the face, it's not funny at all. Hitting the ball in the face, of course, is less traumatic, but still unpleasant and also creates an awkward situation.
How to prevent: The most important task is to be able to recognize the symptoms of a concussion. There are no methods to avoid contact with the head, but if it does occur, you need to look at your condition and not miss the first symptoms.
If there are even the slightest signs of a concussion, you should immediately seek help from a professional.
There is one more conclusion made after studying the report. It consists in the fact that approximately 60% of injuries occur in the second half of the game. This suggests that fatigue has a significant impact. So, in addition to the prevention mentioned above, always work on staying in great shape. Running a few extra miles at the gym or in the park is certainly not a lot of fun for many basketball players, but it will help you be physically fitter than your opponent in the second half, and, more importantly, it can simply protect you from injury.
Ankle Injury - All About Basketball
Ankle Injury
Day One
Apply ice to the ankle (for 15 minutes every 4 hours) to relieve both pain and swelling. In this case, a heating pad, bubble or other container with ice should be wrapped with a cloth so as not to overcool the joint. Keep the injured ankle higher: the outflow of blood from the joint will prevent swelling from developing.
Of the medicines, we can recommend Troxevasin gel - for rubbing into the ankle joint (once a day is enough).
Second day
It can be started with the same gel. It is advisable not to disturb the leg with long walking. And if an urgent matter calls you on the road, fix your ankle with an elastic (necessarily elastic, not simple) bandage: there is less danger of twisting your leg again, and stepping on it is not so painful. It is better to bandage in the morning, right in bed: slightly raise the toe of the foot and wind the bandage from the base of the fingers to the ankle joint; the next layer of bandage overlaps the previous one by 2-3 centimeters; cutting the end of the bandage along, fix the bandage around the leg. You need to bandage for the whole day, that is, not tight - otherwise the blood will not flow into the fingers (a sign of this is their blueness). Be sure to remove the bandage at night so that the leg rests.
Day three
Bandage the ankle again. (Keep doing this if the pain doesn't go away when walking.
)
Day Four
It's time to start massaging the ankle and foot to increase blood flow to the sprained ligaments. By supplying damaged tissues with nutrients, you will speed up their recovery. At the beginning of the massage, lubricate your hands with oil or cream, which contains camphor.
Day five - fifteen
You have already understood: massage should be done daily during the entire recovery period. And it’s great if it becomes a habit for you - it will benefit not only the ankle, but the whole body. After all, there are multiple nerve endings in the foot, and by reflexively influencing the spine, we can simultaneously influence the internal organs. Therefore, it is recommended to massage not only the injured, but also the healthy leg. You just need to master a few simple tricks:
1. Gently massage the area of the ankle joint of the injured leg (with both hands) from the bottom up.
2. Grasp the foot so that the thumbs are on the sole and the other fingers and palm are on the instep of the foot.
Thoroughly knead and rub the sole with your thumbs. (The same on the other foot.)
3. Grasp the heel by placing the fingers of the hand (excluding the big one) along the sole. Move them up and down, knead-rub the soles of one foot, then the other.
4. Applaud! 50 hand claps on one sole, then on the other will improve your mood. Fold your palm in a boat to make the clap louder.
5. Warm up the feet by rubbing and kneading the soles, then place the palm of the hand on the back of the foot so that the fingers and toes are parallel. Rub the upper surface of the fingers (from the ends to the base), then with bent fingers and a sharp movement of the wrist joint and palm, stretch and bend inward the toes (excluding the big one). Repeat the same with the other foot.
6. Sit on a chair, put your foot on the thigh of the other leg, without bending at the waist as much as possible. Putting 4 fingers together, put them between the big and other toes, inhale and with increasing effort “tear off” the big toe, twisting and bending it.
Relax, exhale. Repeat the exercise with the big toe of the other foot.
7. Place four fingers on the sole, thumb on the back of the foot, and with your thumb, turn your toes toward you in turn (starting with the little finger). In conclusion, rub the surfaces of the toes adjacent to each other with the index finger of the hand. First on one leg, then on the other.
Sixth day and beyond…
Now thermal procedures can be added to the treatment. Every day, immerse the recovering ankle for 10-15 minutes in not too hot water, or even better - in water with horse chestnut extract, horsetail, phytosols (there are a lot of them in modern pharmacies, for every taste), sea or table salt (1 tbsp. l per 1 liter of water). But still ...
... stretched, much less torn ligaments should be shown to the doctor. Maybe he will prescribe you an additional course of physiotherapy. And most importantly, he will control the healing process. An untreated sprain is fraught with weakening of the ligaments - the leg will tuck at the slightest unevenness in the relief (do you need it?).
