Let’s talk about how you get past someone.

While many people believe that you have to be faster
then someone to drive past them it’s ialso about being
smarter and knowing what to do and look for.

We have three crucial parts to a drive.

The first is you want to beat the defender
with your feet, meaning: if you are in the middle of
the court at the three point line and want to drive
right, we want your left foot( opposite foot) to come
over the defenders left foot.

This gives you a huge advantage when trying to get past someone.
So now you have one step over the defender, and
have beaten them with your feet. This is very
important because you are now one step ahead of the
defender and have a clear advantage.

The next crucial point is shoulder to hips.

We want your shoulder to be as low as the defenders hips when
you drive pass them. This is used to be faster,
stronger, and more balanced. If you watch all the
greats in the NBA, they do this as first nature.

Once you have gotten your shoulder as low as the defenders hips you
will be faster, stronger, and more balanced, which will give you
a huge advantage over the player that is guarding you.
Especially if they are trying to be physical with you.

The next and final step is to push the ball forward to give
you separation. All that is left is for you to explode to the basket with
one dribble and focus your eyes on the basket so you
may finish the play.

If you do not push the ball forward, the defender can
reach from behind and most likely poke the ball away
.
Here is what all three things are used for when driving
past someone.

1. Beet them with your feet
- gives you an advantage

2. Shoulder to hips
- gives you power and balance

3. pushing the ball forward
- gives you separation

If you master these three aspects to getting past your defenders,
you will start to get to the basket with ease and become virtually unstoppable.

I have also added a video drill for you to get a more in depth look at how this is
