Is this drill for you?

For novice finishers (Level 2) learning three ways off the dribble - two-foot, one-foot, and reverse-pivot finishes.

Trains: finishing · footwork · balance · touch

The ladder: Two-foot finishes first, then one-foot, then the reverse pivot.

Variations: Drive right and left.

In a game: Two-foot jumps give you balance against contact; the reverse pivot beats the defender who overplays the front.
