Gaining Some Skill In Basket Ball Game

It is all confidence and knowledge. Practice builds confidence. Find the most challenging ball  handling drills you can, do them at full speed until you are comfortable. I really love 2 ball drills.  They are very challenging and develop both hands. Do the drills while running up and down the  court as opposed to being stationary. You can learn them and get comfortable with them while  staying in one spot, but once you start to get
comfortable, start moving up and down the court. This  will give you confidence that you have the ability to dribble in all situations.  Once you have that confidence, step back and understand what the game is all about. There is a difference between dribbling and ball handling. Ball handling implies effectiveness. What are you  trying to do with your dribble? You should be trying to advance the ball and get it in a good  offensive situation. Understand that pressure is trying to prevent you from doing that. Most pressure  tries to force you to the sideline. That tells you to work to keep the ball in the middle of the court.  Most pressures try to get you to turn your back on your basket. Work hard to be good at protecting  the ball while facing the basket. Most pressures try to get you to change your tempo. You should  realize at what speed you are most effective and work to play that speed.  Once you understand what the pressure is trying todo to you and you have enough confidence that  you can dribble the ball under difficult circumstances, handling against pressure will become a breeze.
