Beginners - Control the ball. Control the game
🎯 Focus: Today, we’re locking in on right & left hand control, strong posture, and playing with confidence. Great ball handlers don’t just dribble fast — they stay low, balanced, and in control with both hands.
🧠 Key Coaching Points
- Stay low and athletic (chest up, knees bent)
- Keep your eyes up (see the floor, not the ball)
- Pound the ball with purpose — control every bounce
- Train both hands equally, even when it feels uncomfortable
🔥 Challenge⏱️ 5 minutes nonstop dribbling – RIGHT hand⏱️ 5 minutes nonstop dribbling – LEFT hand No stopping. No switching early. If you lose the ball, reset quickly and keep going. Mental toughness matters.
💪 Why This Matters: Confidence with the ball = confidence in the game. When pressure comes, your habits show. This is how you build trust in your handle.
