Drill

Setup

Create narrow corridor with cones.

Instructions

1. 1Guard a live ball handler starting at the three-point line.
2. 2Mirror the hip of the ball, not the ball itself, to avoid getting shoulder-turned.
3. 3Force the drive toward a help defender or sideline, not down the middle.
4. 4Reset after every score, blow-by, or stop and log which side you were beaten to.

Key feel

Hips square and moving before the ball handler commits to a direction.

Success cue

Defender keeps body between ball and target lane.

Recommended reps

10 live 1-on-1 reps

Progression

Progress to live 1v1.

Common mistake

Reaching for the ball instead of moving the feet to cut off the angle.
