How to Handle Pressure and Play at YOUR Speed 

Fantastic stuff, this is exactly how individual workouts with a trainer should be! Trainer playing defense and letting the player explore. Then giving points between reps. Simple cues, asking questions, and making stuff harder (handling pressure without being able to blow by). And of course every now and then flipping defense to offense and cook up a bit 😂.

This is elite content. I don't know how many people will realize how valuable this is.

Who's here after being guarded by a trash talking defender

Good vid........To all my young players, vs full court pressure: 1- change speed more than change direction, 2- Avoid slow spin (to prevent wrap around steal andr traps) 3. If you do change direction, use back dribble crossover or behind back dribble (always see what's in front) 4. Once you get a step, cut your defender off while dribbling to create a 5 on 4. One of the best moves vs full ct. pressure is a between the leg hesitation. When the defender sits after your hesitation, anticipating a change of direction, you then explode.

This was EXACTLY the video that I needed thank you so much. I just had a bad game where I had a lot of turnovers and performed bad under pressure, coincidentally you posted this and it's helped me a ton thanks.

My biggest takeaway that helped me is the ball float. Because what happens a lot of people and younger players is aggressive defenders will make you tense up and feel you have to pound the ball or dribble faster but it’s the opposite you want the ball to float more so anyone out there getting ripped a lot and feel you have a good handle but don’t have the confidence this is the video for you.

Wow great video, super detailed! This is also part of makes Luka so good. He always seems unaffected by the defense. Even when he's getting blitzed or pressured. Just staying calm and reading the game.

I’m new to your content but you have covered many aspects of my game that needs improvement (pacing, use of off-arm, composure, etc) and these are great study sessions. Just want to say I appreciate it ✊🏾💪🏾

Good time to upload I'm getting locked up Rn

I like the fact that this is not edited at all. You can see the mistake from him vs you as the trainer and helping him be more comfortable. Definitely adding this to my workout routine.

Looking forward to more of these pressure-handling videos, not many coaches talk about it, this is the real deal. Thank you sir

elite content. I don't know how many people will realize how valuable this is.

this helped me so much i was never a bad ball handler but i understand now and how to take control of being under pressure. Im on my journey to becoming good at basketball as well as i am in football

THIS IS GOLD THANK YOU COACH

thanks for the tips. great content. cannot wait to use this in tomorrows practice!

dropped a gem at the perfect time, i rlly needed dis 🙏🏾

Thank you so much coach! You really helped me today, it's crazy. I play the point guard position and sometimes I can have this kind of difficulties against an aggressive defense. Too much dribbling makes me lose the ball while this technique that you ask to apply solves all my problems and questions. I will be sure to apply it and master it thank you very much!

this video is gold for basketball players, so grateful i have find this channel ❤️

This is actually one of my most problem on basketball thanks so much i should master on how to fully control my energy and ball handling

You're a legend my man keep doing what you are doing!!!

This is what i needed, thank you man🙏🔥

I've learned so much from this! Thanks! I've recently transitioned from a pure shooter/shot creator/scorer to a more ball handler/facilitator in my local ball club just because I wanted to expand my game. My friends agreed on my transition. Now I'm definitely gonna apply this and your other content as well.

YES COACH, this some quality content, these videos shouldn't be free but i'm so glad they are. Thank you coach

Perfect cues and coaching, wow. Allowed him to work through it and he picked it up quickly

omg this video just perfect I love content like this, appreciate your work man🤝

Uou, this video is gold. Praticing this in every training session made me a lot more confortable handling defenders.

This was an amazing video u helped him turn his game up just a notch that boy nice 👏

Thanks man,I always see Brunson doing that all the time,now am gonna do practice about it,it's really good

This is gonna help me so much! Thank you for these videos!

thanks for the great vid ive been struggleing with pressure this coming bball season

He improved so much in 5 minutes 😳 thank you for this content

This is the example of a great coach🔥💯

He is literally getting better in each step, what coach

Thank you for the lessons, this would help me very much.

Wow the live demonstration is amazing

This is probably the most important skill as a primary initiator imo. You can have the fanciest moves but if you can be forced into an uncomfortable frantic rythym you're still easy to gameplan against.

Great video, I've learned a lot, I just subscribed

Needed this. Just started back playing again after barely playing since the pandemic and I’m 30 lbs heavier than I was in my playing days so I’m not blowing past defenders like I used too. This will definitely come in handy!

this is awesome. thanks for sharing!

Great work Coach!

Thanks for this content man

Great stuff coach ❤

Very helpful...the stuff about Ball Placement, nice!

This content is GOLD

Thanks as always

Thanks! Going to work on this with my daughter!

Thanks for a great video. This is some of the best stuff on youtube. BTW what is the profile of the player you are with in the video? age and level? thanks

bro i had a problem i dont know how to communicate but THIS exactly solves it thank you man

Thank you for those tips.

I like your videos cause youre doing live drills compared to other videos i watched.

Great video man!

I know a good coach when I see one and he's it. good shit guys. 🔥🔥🔥

Awesome I need this! Thanks

Thank you for this video

Crazy how we just saw a huge progress in such a short video

Great vid from top to bottom my guy

This helped out a lot.

Good important vid as always.

Love your work

more on topic of playing at your speed!

Another +1up, learning everyday thanks

I wanna see more of this 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

You’re awesome mate!

awesome moves, i'll add it to my bag

Thank you dude 🙏

Great stuff thank you!!!

Super useful content. This is exactly what you need to take your game to next level. There are alot of tutorials out there but your videos are the ones' I go "Ah, I see that's why..."

Idk why but once he got it in the end I got so happy 😂😂😂 felt like I was the one training Fr lol

Man, kid picked it up so quick. Good moves

This video is suuuper valuable. Coleman and Nolan Weathers… love their instructionals

Mahn dis so useful 🔥🔥,

Thanks man

Great stuff. I'd say Christ Paul has this mastered. At this stage, he's slower than everyone, but uses all these techniques to handle pressure.

Loved that

Outside looking in, I see that this trainer has the best intentions for his clients and is able to really communicate the golden nuggets that are valuable in the game of basketball. Not all trainers are capable of doing that.

Looks helpfufl, thanks!

Whole video was great but that last breakdown from 3:50 on was completely eye opening.

Great trainer

Great video, new suscriber 👍🏼🏀❤️

This was great

Amazing ❤️

Amazing.

Good work coach

more ball handling workout please, this is what i need

Impeccable content.

Great video

My friend/teammate does this unintentionally lol

Another thing i noticed is in the paint drill you didn't really use a normal crossover. You stuck with between and behind im assuming for added ball protection.

Thanks a lot

Awesome!

Thank you sir

Great video. Coughed up 4 turnovers tonight, and while I played well in other areas, bringing the ball up wasn’t one of em’. Ehh. Another day!

Good to know, i have always sped up when there is pressure defense.

I just playing intramural basketball for our squadron and this would've been perfect. We had turnovers from full court pressure not looking up the court and not having control

Imma bout to do this at my pick up ASAP

Great tips!

Good coach

This is the best coach. He has fun with his clients and is a nice coach and knows a lot about the game…

THANK YOUUU
