Fundamentals of the Euro Step
Focus on deceptive footwork to misdirect defenders, maintaining a low center of gravity for agility. Start in a triple-threat position and practice controlled steps without traveling.
Professional Tips for Success
Speed and rhythm control are crucial; experts like Giannis Antetokounmpo emphasize accelerating through the step to beat defenders.
- Incorporate hesitation moves to disrupt timing.
- Keep eyes up to read the defense, using peripheral vision.
- Land with balance to execute a strong finish, reducing injury risks.
Effective Training Drills
Simulate game scenarios with cones or partners; work on weak-side finishes to build consistency and confidence in high-pressure situations.
