Is this drill for you?
For novice scorers (Level 2) learning the hop step and its misdirection counter - two ways to finish over a recovering defender.
The ladder: Standard hop-step finish first, then the misdirection hop over the defender.
Variations: Drive with either hand.
In a game: The hop step gathers you under control; the misdirection version punishes the defender who overplays it.
