Patrick Anderson - Skill Saturday #10 - Tilting

"Once upon a time, in a tiny, distant wheelchair basketball kingdom called Whitewater, there coached a wise and powerful Frog..." This week I talk about tilting and try to recreate - in word and deed - how I learned to tilt. Tilting is a fun party trick, but it's more than that. The vertical and horizontal reach that you gain from tilting comes in handy all over the court, on offense and defense. Control, quickness, and timing are key, but it all starts with the basics of getting off the ground, and then getting back up when you fall to the floor. (Getting up is a valuable skill in its own right...you get to work on two skills for the price of one.) Real risk involved. Don't (do!) try this at home. http://www.patanderson.ca   / patrickdanderson
