You're on a burner with these videos. Your talking bout things I've been debating in my head for a while now, especially the concept of training moves vs training the fundamentals so that in game your creativity and instincts take over. This video gave me my answer. Great work man
Thanks a ton mate! Glad I've been able to help with that question since I hear it all the time for players. You honestly only need like 1 very simple move with a counter, the rest is all feel and creativity.
@@themidrangeno actually fr man I’ve been contemplating how I can take my game to the next level. I’ve been working on footwork and individual moves but this has giving me valuble insite to change focus to ball manipulation. Thank you sm!
I just found your channel and it's a gold mine! I remember practicing all the and-1 moves with no transfer to real life games. I noticed that change of speed/pace and having a quick shot release has equated to way more points with much less energy wasted. Please, keep these videos coming!
For so long I tried different ball handling workouts and I didn’t see much results that translated back to games, but recently I’ve been doing those 2 ball drills 30 minutes daily and using these methods and I’ve really notice an improvement of when I play, I feel a lot more fluid and comfortable with the ball in my hands and I’m able to make plays a lot more frequent and efficient then I use to
i have into this contant for to long now trying to learn and I can say that ur one of the best guys outhere tbh even some the famous coaches on the internet just be talking nonesence am happy I found someone that's really know what he saying keep it up !!
Thanks mate, I appreciate it. That was the motivation for making this channel, the amount of coaches online that are out to make a quick buck without adding real value.
Just found your channel and I wanted to say that you really simplify the game for me because i tend to overcomplicate everything with these unnecessary moves. Thank you brother, I hope your channel will succeed! 💪💪🔥😎
Everyone of us was tryna be like Hot Sauce, AO or Sylk... it wasn't till I adopted the simplicity mindset that my consistency, consciousness and creativity skyrocketed. One or two dribbles and the dime bag got better. Now I coach mindset over everything and it actually works. Great to see this type of content 💯🙌🏾
😂😂 my high-school coach hit us with the "yall trying to be sick with it, well im sick of it..." I always think back to this. But ya I completely agree with you, that mindset is the key!
Excellent video. I started playing basketball recently, it's not very common here in Brazil and seeing some videos of amazing dribbles left me unmotivated because they are unrealistic for me, and this video of yours was really motivating to continue on this journey. +1 sub
So good to hear. I get it for sure, it's overwhelming sometimes listening to the amount of noise and videos out there. I'll keep trying to keep it as simple as I can.
yeah after playing some more school basketball, the biggest thing you need to know is just how to react to the defence, even if you practice cool abilities, you rarely use the confusing ones. Great tips, I love your channel
love the videos i watch them from egypt , drop some drills of shooting, ball manipulation and stuff like these please and keep it up thanks for you videos they are really good
Hey coach. Thanks alot for the vid. I was struggling on ball handling, the whole summer passed and all the vids ive watched seemed to not watch. Until yours came up on the feed today i just realized that the simple things i have not been working on are the ones that are hindering my development.Looking forward to the dribbling workout. Also, is it possible for you to drop a footwork vid. Peace.
You just earned a new subscriber, thanks so much for the video bro, This is really gonna help me get better at basketball and stop being put as a defender 😢❤❤👍
Dawg I'm a brand new basketball player, plus I'm from Brazil (Basketball isn't huge here), Can you make a video on how to improve as a starter? Love the video
Ya I will be adding more videos all the time. But the ones I added on the website and patreon are worth doing 5 minutes a day and honestly will carry you for a couple months. I also have a short that has single ball stuff so there's 2 workouts to get you started. It's on my youtube shorts but I'll add it to patreon as well probably tomorrow.
Your correct, but after you’ve learned to manipulate the ball and get to your spots with pressure a good way to train handling after is freestyle pretending defense is in front of you and trying to score effectively to practice these things for games. This is what I’ve learned do you have any opinion’s on that. You can also add dribble limits or constraints to help on that. Though I’d love to see a handle workout!
Ya im not opposed to it at all. This video was moreso explaining that practicing the moves shouldn't be the first thing players should do. And most trainers have players doing moves but can't understand why the player is struggling with it. I'd say it should just be more time spent on the handles than the move. Practicing a move should be for a specific purpose or scenario, not trying to invent scenarios that aren't happening often, if that makes sense. All that to say, yes I agree with you. 😂😂
Running full speed while dribbling with just one hand is a great one. Obviously you tire out pretty quick so try to do like 5 with your right and 5 with your left at the end of each training. Also its a mindest when doing your dribble warmups, should dribble faster than youre comfortable with being ok with losing the ball and messing up. Then you can slow down slightly for games.
I love it l leave in Martinique l always think for play game you juste IQ and be confotable to manipulate the ball whith balance shoot pass or drive make scoring That it… Thanks for your view Univers bless you Peace 🙏🏿
great video, you’ve taught me a lot in 7 minutes. Do you have any advice on building confidence to dribble well in the game/removing awkwardness when i dribble? When i’m practicing myself I would say imma good dribbler but it doesn’t seem to translate in the game bc in games im always second guessing myself n moving awkwardly
I'm glad it's helped! The best advice I can give is practice faster than you're comfortable, like you SHOULD be losing the ball alot in practice because you're trying so hard. Just keep doing that until it becomes normal, then you up the speed again. That's what's always helped me, train fast so that the games feel easy.
Speaking of the two ball dribbles, would you recommend those advanced two balls drills at beginning. Personally, I’ve been capable to do those fundamentals of two balls drills( low pound, high pound, alternating low/high pound, one high with one low). But, I’ve been struggled to two ball crossover, btw, behind. It is absolutely frustrating when messed it all up on advanced drills.
The crossover one is one of the hardest ones. Way harder than it looks, just try to get 2 in a row without messing up. Then 3 in a row, then 4... eventually it will become habit.
@ thanks for the reply. Here is my confusions and feel after watching skill trainers and pro athletes(specificaly, Luka Donic ). Many online videos are available out there showing off skill trainers’ ( for example, Tyler Ralph)incredible ability of manipulating two balls. By contrast of it, Luka was found that he couldn’t do it in a training session with Steph curry during off season. Still, I found Devin booker barely try out the advanced two ball drills in his warmup. So, It all comes up an unsolved question to me that are hoopers encouraged to develop ball handlings from advanced drills? Let’s say if hoopers will not able to do those advanced drills at the end of day, should we move on to something as else?
That's a very astute observation! Luka and booker both have other elite world class qualities that allow them to be successful regardless. Booker doesn't have a great handle but can shoot lights out in a league where you're not allowed to hand check. His handles are great in the nba but he definitely struggled in fiba with physicality. Luka on the other hand has some of the best footwork and that's what he uses to beat his defender, that and strength, rarely does he "cross" someone to create space.
Them 2 ball dribbling drills are tough, how long do you think before i get the hang of it because rn my brain cant comprehend moving two balls at once😭 will be doing these everyday
The very first day is the hardest. Moreso because your brain has to develop the pathways to do 2 different things at once. Trying them, then thinking about it away from the court still helps your brain develop. You should see improvement pretty fast in the first couple weeks. Then it becomes a routine where you can increase speed, eyes closed etc...
Yo bro, thanks for the vid. Just wanted to ask what do u think makes shai such a good player and how do u think i can try and play like him? Asking dis cuz he my favorite player.
He controls pace better than most other players. He plays to his advantage nearly every play. So if he's faster he uses his speed, if he's stronger he uses his size, if he's going against a good defender he tries to get a switch or spaces the floor and tries to score off the ball to conserve energy. He's just a master at exploiting other players weaknesses and he has mastered so many skills he can go play where the defense is least comfortable.
It's purely personal. I typically don't focus on the seams unless I have ample time to line up my shot. Whatever you practice is whats going to feel comfortable in a game. I have a short talking about this.
I am completely comfortable with the ball, can manipulate it without issue and can do all the things you mentioned except, being able to attack a stagnant defender. When I already started my dribble and my defender is just sitting down idk what to do. Should I learn moves and their counters in this situation or still no?
If your defender just sits back, you should just shoot the ball. Very simple :) Work on your shooting if you‘re not confident. An alternative perspective: if the defense can just be stagnant that means you‘re dribbling stationary which is almost never good (except when waiting for a screen or some action to develop). The whole point of dribbling is to move somewhere, if you don‘t move it just gives the defense time to set up. If you want to attack the defense the best strategy is to make THEM move. One example: on your dribble, just slide a bit to the side. If they don‘t react, you have a line to the basket and can just drive, they will be too late to stop you. If they also slide over that is your cue to change directions. The idea is to make them move and then use their momentum against them. It‘s the same principle for attacking closeouts. Because the defense is in motion it makes it much easier to go by because it‘s very hard to stop and go the opposite way in a split second. Lastly, if there is no good attack, just pass the ball and move, cut or set a screen. Keep the ball and players moving and the offense flowing. Nothing worse than a stagnant offence with someone dribbling on a spot not achieving anything. Don‘t be fixated on doing it all alone. In many situations a pass (and move) is the best option. If you understand that you can become a very valuable player for your team. Don‘t play ego ball. Hope that helps a bit. Keep on hooping!
I explained in the video. Working on coordination and balance/footwork all needed in combination. But that will help far more than practicing cool moves. Can you link me the video?
So when dribbling you shouldn’t plan what move to do on the defender before it’s all about reading and reacting to what the defender does am I right or wrong?
I would say you should have a go to move and counters to the go to move. THEN you react to hoe the defense plays to that. I'd say planned moves are only happening once or twice a game. Unless you're specifically wanting to practice a specific move.
Hey coach. I’m a freshman and I tend to overcomplicate things by dribling to much instead of making efficient dribbles and getting to the rim. I’m about to go to day 3 of tryouts and I go to a big hs and honestly idk if I’ll make the team, but I will say that I’m definitely gonna use this vid to get better for tryouts next year. Thanks bro
You're not alone, this is a very difficult thing to learn and instill within a short amount of time. But I promise now that you know what to look for your improvements will be much faster. I hope you get an opportunity to make the team, give it your best and use it as a learning experience whether you make it or not. We've all been there!
The best thing you can do to practice this honestly is one on one. Concentrate on going full speed right, full speed left, when they back up shoot. Get tons of reps so you can do this effectively, then start adding counters.
hey, so I've been working on my ball handling latley (I actually do the oayton pritchard routine over the past days after seeing it on RUclips) but I don't use any dribble moves in games. I don't know if it's holding me back and limiting options, like I only do a normal crossover and not through the legs etc. but I'm a fast player so idk if I need to. any advice? thanks
You only need 1 effective move and then the counter to that move. Having more moves is great for if you're the main play maker and you're trying to get off difficult shots. But my entire college career was 1 move and a counter and it can be highly effective. So if you are quick I would say your first actual move is to just blow by, then a second move is the fake blow by into a crossover, then you just need to add a move if they cut off your crossover, so crossover into a spin, or between the legs or step back or retreat dribble or another simple crossover. But everything should build from your crossover and speed, not take away from it.
Depends what you need to work and and what your goals are. Shooting, finishing layups, and ballhandling probably would be the most straight forward answers I can give without much information.
I do disagree with the fact he talked about not listening to the other RUclipsr on the left when he talks about when he talks about not listening to him because when I looked at his short that specific short, I did it and it made me a better ball handler maybe a ball manipulation. The other parts in this video were helpful, but I just disagree with the first part when he said not to listen to this other RUclipsr on the left cause before he’s actually a good RUclipsr and he gives me basketball tips for real and it made me a better player like I said, I got better manipulation ball handling, dribbling up and down the court in specific way, but I love your channel though.
Nothing wrong with that. I dont know any of these youtubers personally and definitely wouldn't suggest to not listen to them at all. I moreso meant that watching quick handle hacks aren't the answer. If he's motivating you to get the ball in your hand and keep working then all respect.
Always the smaller channels that know what they are talking about, will be waiting for the dribbling workout!
💪🏽 thanks mate!
because they’re arnt paid by sponsorships

I explained in the video. Working on coordination and balance/footwork all needed in combination. But that will help far more than practicing cool moves. Can you link me the video?
How to work on my shooting and attacking closeouts
Also any tips to get by my primary defender
I'm gonna do my next video on beating the defender, but for shooting the best thing to do is rep it out. 200-500 shots per week is a great start.
Also making sure you keep track.
So when dribbling you shouldn’t plan what move to do on the defender before it’s all about reading and reacting to what the defender does am I right or wrong?

I cant get by defenders and i dont know how to react to the defender so what can i do ?
The best thing you can do to practice this honestly is one on one. Concentrate on going full speed right, full speed left, when they back up shoot. Get tons of reps so you can do this effectively, then start adding counters.
Also I did a video on kind of this concept, it was 2 videos ago with Shai gilgeous Alexander on the front. It may answer your question.
Thanks man❤️ could u also upload drills to do it with tennis ball? I really appreciate you keep going
I will eventually, Ganon baker has a few that are pretty good.

I retired a few years back but most recently was in australia. Now just old man's league once a week. 😂😂
hey, so I've been working on my ball handling latley (I actually do the oayton pritchard routine over the past days after seeing it on RUclips) but I don't use any dribble moves in games. I don't know if it's holding me back and limiting options, like I only do a normal crossover and not through the legs etc. but I'm a fast player so idk if I need to. any advice? thanks
You only need 1 effective move and then the counter to that move. Having more moves is great for if you're the main play maker and you're trying to get off difficult shots. But my entire college career was 1 move and a counter and it can be highly effective. So if you are quick I would say your first actual move is to just blow by, then a second move is the fake blow by into a crossover, then you just need to add a move if they cut off your crossover, so crossover into a spin, or between the legs or step back or retreat dribble or another simple crossover. But everything should build from your crossover and speed, not take away from it.
@themidrange I see what you're saying. I will go away and work on this. thank you for replying, I really appreciate that. 😊
@@Chuck.Reynolds Not a problem at all, hope it helps.
I’m a move guy. I can do moves really fast but lose the ball doing simple shit
😂😂 as long as you slowly work on those weaknesses there's nothing wrong with that!
Bro what editing software you use?
I use davinci resolve. I highly recommend it!
@ I might have to try it out, thank you!!
It's free so give it a try at least
Please give me some tips for get a better IQ i begin basketball there’s not a long time ago and I am literally lost offensively in the court 🙏🙏
I have 2 videos lined up and one of them is talking about iq and court mapping etc... it should help with that alot.
Bro, i am 17 year old , i recently start playing basketball
What should i learn. Please answer me.
Depends what you need to work and and what your goals are. Shooting, finishing layups, and ballhandling probably would be the most straight forward answers I can give without much information.
@@themidrange thank u bro
Bro who is that bald guy in those highlights he’s crazy😭🙏
😂😂 that's me. Don't hate. 😂😂
@ I ain’t hating bro ur actually insane😭
I do disagree with the fact he talked about not listening to the other RUclipsr on the left when he talks about when he talks about not listening to him because when I looked at his short that specific short, I did it and it made me a better ball handler maybe a ball manipulation. The other parts in this video were helpful, but I just disagree with the first part when he said not to listen to this other RUclipsr on the left cause before he’s actually a good RUclipsr and he gives me basketball tips for real and it made me a better player like I said, I got better manipulation ball handling, dribbling up and down the court in specific way, but I love your channel though.
Btw I ment ball manipulation and practing freestyles every day
Nothing wrong with that. I dont know any of these youtubers personally and definitely wouldn't suggest to not listen to them at all. I moreso meant that watching quick handle hacks aren't the answer. If he's motivating you to get the ball in your hand and keep working then all respect.
Moves vs movement.

😂😂 I miss those days!
Its crazy how these youtube channels and influencers have more followers than you...someone that knows ball.
Haha, it's all good. Chasing trends is a quicker way to pop off for sure.
I use plastic bag to make my handles better
Plastic bag with no ball is wild.
Milllion dollar move 10cent finish 🤣🤣
😂😂 one of my old coaches used to say that at least once a day.
The channel is overly informative.
Like a good thing hopefully.
Indeed @@themidrange
