WE TAKE ADVANTAGE OF THEIR WEAKNESS

One of the biggest weaknesses most ball handlers have is the inability to change pace and play the game at different speeds. Most players, when pressured, try to go faster than the pressure to relieve it, which is generally what a pressing team wants. It forces players to play at a speed they are uncomfortable with and a speed they rarely practice at... which usually results in a turnover.

WANT TO CONTROL THE DEFENSE?
Few players take control and play the game at their own speed, using change of pace and change of direction dribbles to control the defense by putting the defender off-balance as opposed to allowing the pressure to get the ball handler out of her comfort zone.
