GOATAWhy some guards look like they never get tired
Elite guards load their hips instead of their knees. Every cut and jump starts with the butt going back, so the glutes absorb force and the knees stay quiet.
What to watch for
- • Hips sit back on every decel
- • Knees track over the toes
- • Tall spine even when low
