Coaching Points

• Use your body to protect the ball, not just your arms
• Create separation with a sudden change of direction, not raw speed
• Decide your shot side before you start the drive — don't improvise late
• Use the feint to shift the defender's weight, then attack the opposite foot
• Finish the shot quickly after the feint while the defender is still recovering
