Reading the defense for shooting

Drill
292 views ·
The attacker receives in triple threat. If the defender gives space (one step or more), the attacker must shoot. If the defender is close, the attacker must use a jab step and drive. The drill is done correctly if the player receives, reads, and decides—not if we act like “robots” executing a pre-decided action.
