90% of Basketball Players are MISSING This Ball-Handling Skill
In this video, Coach Meech from ILoveBasketballTV breaks down basketball dribbling drills to improve your change-of-direction fast! Today, you’ll add some deadly basketball moves to your bag in just 10 minutes. These 4 powerful footwork moves will instantly upgrade your handle: the Drop & Split stop, Punch Stop, Speed Stop, and the advanced Extended Stop. Each move is designed to help you stop on a dime, shift defenders, and attack with confidence.
Change of direction training is essential for guards who want tighter handles, quicker stops, and real in-game separation. If you want better ball control, explosive first steps, and the ability to stop on a dime, this workout is built for you.
You’ll start by learning how to control your base and land on two feet efficiently for quick direction changes. Then we dive into the Punch Stop: an explosive outside-leg stop that builds balance, strength, and downhill control. From there, you’ll master the Speed Stop to manipulate rhythm and timing, making defenders react to your pace instead of predicting it.
Finally, we close with the Extended Stop: an advanced separation move used in pullbacks and underdrags that capitalizes on defensive momentum and creates space for pull-up jumpers or re-attacks to the rim.

ARE YOU HOOPING TODAY???
Coach, how tall are you sir?
Just sharing you this, as Romans 6:23 says, "For the wages of sin is death, but the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord." Because of our sins, we deserve hell. But God still loves us so much that he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross to pay the price of sin for all. And at the 3rd day, he rose up from the dead. Accept the Lord Jesus Christ as your Savior to be saved from sin and have eternal life (John 3:16-18).
