Coach Dan Speaks:

If basketball is your sport, you should try the power step up and under shooting drill. Starting on a block with your back facing the basket, flick the basketball to yourself while taking an explosive power step forward upon catching it. Execute the up and under fake before shooting a layup. As you make this move, remember to look up and keep the basketball higher than waist-level for best results.
