Moving and twisting to awkward body positions are keys to dribbling. You need to dribble with defensive contact, looking in all directions, even behind, to learn how to protect the ball. Dribbling is never an end unto itself. One offensive objective is to pass the ball up court to the open player as fast as possible. You must dribble with your head up, constantly looking to pass.
All lessons require players to keep their heads up and look while dribbling.
Counterproductive Beliefs 1. Dribbling can't be taught. You have to be a natural. This is true if you don't know how to teach dribbling. This inaccurate idea discourages coaches and players alike.
