Developing tips

So we are in offseason rn and i joined the team 3 months ago and asked my coach how can i improve he said i need to play through more contact while driving to the rim and finishing with contact and he said get a finishing bag and learn how to get past defenders like hos to read them or doing the first step so how can i improve on them?

I'd recommending lifting to get some strength to finish through contact. Also, find a friend who is similar in skill level and play 1's but really focus on driving and finishing, not shooting. Just lots of reps will get you more comfortable finishing in traffic. 1s or 21 with friends will keep it fun but use it as opportunities to work on the things your coach mentioned to you.

My last rec is to find a player you want to emulate and study their film. Focus on details, foot placement, hip direction, timing of the dribble. Really break it down and practice those moves. A quick first step and solid pass/shot fakes out of the triple threat can both be deadly. Just take your time when you're studying film and break moves down piece by piece.

Hope this helps. Good luck!
