This video shows how to make stopping more challenging by adding a crossover start right after the stop, helping players improve their speed and transitions.
COACHING POINTS:
Add Crossover After Stopping: Right after stopping, quickly start with a crossover to increase speed and make the drill harder.
Turn Your Head and Shoulders: After stopping, turn your head and shoulders in the direction you want to go to help with a smooth crossover start.
Focus on Two Pushes: Use two strong pushes—a push with the outside foot followed by a crossover push—to accelerate quickly.
Challenge Skilled Players: Adding a crossover start makes the drill harder and more engaging for players who have already mastered basic stops.
Practice in Regular Drills: Include this skill in stop-and-go drills to improve quick transitions during games.
