The drill

Is this drill for you?
For elite players (Level 5) activating sharp direction change with intense BTL and crossover dribbles off deep punch steps.
The ladder: Between-the-legs activation first, then crossover and punch-step combinations.
Variations: Push every punch step to full depth - shallow steps defeat the drill.
In a game: Deep punch steps plus rapid handle fire the exact pattern you use to blow by a defender cold.
Open floor; high-intensity warm-up or standalone session.
