Basketball Finishing Footwork Workout

The workout: Five finishing blocks: Mikan touch, angle changes, pickup timing, power-stop counters, and game-speed layup footwork. Build both hands, both sides, and clean body control around the rim.

Finishing is footwork under pressure. This workout trains the steps, pickups, and angles that help you score when the lane is crowded. Start with Mikan touch, change your body angle around the rim, then add pickups, pump fakes, hooks, and power steps. Every rep should teach your feet where to go before your hand decides how to finish.

1. Wsady z wyjściem2 x 6 makes each sideSprint the angle, gather under control, and finish before your momentum carries you away from the rim.

Jak robić postępy

Start by making every finish with your strong hand and weak hand. Then shorten the rest, add a chair or pad as a defender, or require two clean makes in a row before moving to the next drill. If your feet get tangled or the ball drops low, slow the rep down and rebuild the pickup.
