Hesitation and Snatch-Back Series
Attack a cone, sell a hesitation with a shoulder dip, then snatch the ball back low to reset an imaginary defender's momentum before re-attacking.
Coaching focus: Ball Handling
Ball-handling work develops control at increasing speed and pressure — stationary control first, then movement, then live reads against a defender. Both hands, every time.
