Is this drill for you?

For elite finishers (Level 5) who already score with spins and Euros and want a full chair-drill package - same-foot finishes, up-and-unders, slide-bys - from both sides.

Trains: finishing · change of direction · body control · touch · footwork

The ladder: Spin finishes first, then cross-jab Euros, in-and-out floaters, same-foot finishes, slide-bys, pump-fake step-throughs, and up-and-unders.

Variations: Both hands; both sides of the rim; seven drills.

In a game: Late-clock drives demand a counter for every defender position - this builds the full finishing tree so no angle is new in a game.

Elite difficulty; needs a chair and finishes with both hands from both sides.
