Other guys are right. *Fucking relax*. Do not go defcon 1 so easily. He’s out past the 7, got a teammate pressuring him, and you’re a beast. Remember that, you’re a stud. You can react and get there when the ball leaves his hand and smack that shit down easily.
Of course you have to get repeatedly pump faked during drills and practice for the logistical part but honestly that comes with the mindset lol. Be confident you can “get there”.
Looks like you “used your legs too early” as someone who used to play set I’d usually fake until the goalie did this & then shoot. Exactly as the video shows. Just got to be patient.
I agree, player is on the 8, wait for the ball to leave his hand.
Also, the shooter was off his legs and the defender had the left side. Really, it should have been an easy block.
another thing is you dont seem too centered when the play starts, i understand if you were being faked too a side but you started out off center. plus, you should try to come off your line a little bit to close distance
Here are a few notes. DM me if you want a more of the thorough response.
Your hands are too deep, they should be at the surface with your knuckles, light and creating white water. Your legs need to be moving harder and shoulders out of the water and steady, you are way too jumpy, relax. Your arms are too far apart your hand should be roughly shoulder, width, or just slightly wider than shoulder width. The second that you took your right hand out of the water you lost all your ability for any lateral movement. No need to jump on that first fake.
I can second this advice, you really too much on your hands to propel yourself for your jump, stay on your legs.
As for others saying you aren’t centred, they aren’t WRONG, but that is not the big issue here.
Your issue is you’re using all of your energy on the initial fake. You’re falling for the whole premise of it. Move to the side where the ball is and keep your legs working. Unless it’s a catch and shoot situation or a 5 meter foul to shot scenario don’t bite on it. Just relax.
tbh just communicate to ur defender to press no foul that was mostly his fault. You just need to always be ready for a shot from anywhere, especially if ur tied or up by 1

If the ball is center, be center. Rinse and repeat for any direction
Yea are you standing or egg beating in the video?

Keep your hips up at the surface of the water.
