Whether you want to play fast or are preparing for a team that plays fast, you will find drills in this book that will get your team ready to win the transition battle. Playing fast is not about rushing to get shots up quickly; it is about speeding up your opponent and forcing them to play at an uncomfortable pace that they are not used to playing at, which will hinder their performance.

It is also about making the transition from offense to defense and from defense to offense quicker than your opponent every time that a change of possession occurs. In order for your team to become effective in those areas, you must practice intense, quick-paced drills on a daily basis, so that your players feel comfortable playing at this speed in games.
