Lateral 1-2 Footwork
Spin the ball laterally and step into the catch using a lateral 1-2 step sequence, braking lateral drift and establishing a balanced shooting foundation. Key points: - Lead with the direction step followed quickly by the trail plant foot - Decelerate cleanly without bobbing your hips or head up and down - Stay on the balls of your feet ready to transition upward into the shot Common mistakes: Dragging the trailing foot or crossing feet over.
