Coaching notes

Start inside the paint, use a 1-2 step to bound laterally out of the key into space, delay the ball pickup until your foot plants, and finish with a soft two-foot floater for 5 makes on each side.

Key points

  • Delay the gather until the outside plant foot strikes the floor
  • Elevate cleanly off two feet to maintain balance and absorb contact
  • Release with high arc and soft touch off the glass or direct

Common mistakes
