One of the biggest shortcomings of their teams has been a lack of conditioning in their legs.
They do not allow you to drive middle, you have passing angles.
On a whistle, get in stance, athletic position, right foot forward, left foot even with the heel of the right foot, on each subsequent whistle, advance step, push off the left foot, step with the right foot, keep the ball hand moving.
Progressions
- retreat step (on each whistle), push off the front foot, step with the back foot - swing step on each whistle, the attacker drives at your front foot, pull your elbow through (change front foot) - on a second whistle, advance, retreat, swing, retreat, retreat. Aaron Blakely - players are down in stance on one sideline facing a baseline, arms out, each time coach calls "step" they take a step with the lead foot then the trail foot [wide, wider, wide], repeat across the court and back, pitter-patter if coach calls "hot feet". |
