📍 Basketball Roles – Focus on the Point Guard
The brain of the team.
The point guard is much more than a tactical playmaker:
they’re an energy catalyst, the rhythm’s metronome, the eyes that see the game before it happens.
Their body must support their mind.
📊 Anthropometrically, point guards tend to have a lighter profile, with low body fat and high relative muscle density.
They often show highly reactive lower limbs and a compact build that enhances change of direction and speed of ex*****on.
Somatotype? Mostly ecto-mesomorphic: lean, resilient, agile.
Low center of gravity, balanced segment distribution, and shorter limbs compared to other roles.
All of this translates into efficiency in defensive rotations, quick passes, and explosive first steps.
🎯 Training a point guard means respecting their structure and building a development plan tailored to their role, leverage, and physiology.
🧠💥 When it comes to performance, details are never just details.
