Is this drill for you?

For intermediate scorers (Level 3) building a full hour of drive-and-counter work - Euro and float finishes, then a left-hand pull-up library.

Trains: finishing · shooting form · footwork · change of direction

The ladder: Euro and float finishes first (V-BTL, INO x2, rip-throughs, pounds), then the pump-fake counters, then the left-hand pull-up series.

Variations: Every finish mirrored right and left.

In a game: Euros and floats beat the rotating big; the pull-up block punishes the same defender when he stops rotating.

60 minutes; needs cones and a hoop.
