FORCE A MISTAKE, NOT STEAL THE BALL

Forget the idea of stealing the ball from your man.  You can only get the ball from your man if she makes a mistake.  Too many times, trying to take the ball from your man is likely only to get you a foul or throw you off balance, which makes it way to easy to beat you off the dribble. 

Your thinking should be to force a mistake, not get a steal.

Contain your man and force her into a situation she is uncomfortable with. Most players will look to get rid of the ball when they feel pressured.  When you think of stealing a ball, you should think of stealing it from the air.

In other words, think of stealing a pass, not a dribble or a ball being held.
