Dribble the ball all the time the ball is in possession.
Start in the guard position, off center in the key.
In a stationary position while on the dribble, stutter step towards a direct drive to the basket for a power move.
Alternate the direction of the dribble drive each time you return to the top of the key.
Do 10 shots going in each direction.
