1.) Footwork
Most of the game of basketball is about good footwork. But this is especially true when you play in the post. Offensive post moves are usually successful or not because of footwork. Defensive post play is also keyed off of using great footwork. And boxing out and rebounding is, in large part, dependent on having good footwork.
2.) Strength and toughness
Playing down low is a rough game. Most of the time you're in the paint, you'll have bodies draped all over you, people hanging on your arms, or you'll getting bumped on your way up for a shot. That's just the way it is. So you have to play with strength and toughness. Playing in the post is not a place for the weak or timid. But strength isn't just in the size of your shoulders or arms. Strength means playing tough, knowing how to use positioning and leverage, and being aggressive.
3.) Power and quickness
The 3rd secret to dominating the inside game is using power and quickness. Power means exploding up for rebounds or put-back shots. Power means exploding up for a turnaround jumper or baby hook shot.
Quickness means making post moves quick enough to keep your defender off-balance. It means making your offensive move fast, but under control. Quickness means making a quick step towards the basket for good rebounding position, or to cut your opponent off from getting good position.
Great post players use solid footwork, are strong and tough, and make quick, powerful moves inside. Work on integrating these 3 secrets into your game and you'll become an even greater force down low.
