How to Become a Better Post Player

When trying to become a better post player there are several things you need to concentrate on and try to do. Here are some of them.

1. Creating space/thinking about where you are posting 

   When posting the most physical player usual wins. A good post player knows how to create space to get open on the block and create space to create passing angles for the pass. Creating space is done with your butt and your arms up and no fending off with your arms. Once you understand how to create space then worrying about where you catch the ball becomes important. Good post players score with no move needed. You should try and catch the ball as close to the basket as possible. 

2. Running the floor 

   Running the floor along with rebounding are the easiest ways for a post player to get free points. Running the floor is all effort and you do not need to be fast to be great at running the floor. 

3. Being physical 

   This is probably the hardest thing to teach and do for some players. Being physical as already mentioned is very important in posting and is also important when rebounding. You do not have to be the most physical person on the court (it helps if you are) but a certain amount of physicality is vital in becoming a good post player. 
   

4. Becoming a great rebounder 

   Rebounding is all about being fearless and effort. It is along with running the floor free points for post players. Defensive rebounding involves blocking out then going to rebound. Offensive rebounding just involves the going and is a great non skill way to improve as a post player.
