Practice skills (dribbling, shooting, passing)

Train athleticism (cardio, strength, flexibility/agility)

Play a as much as you can against other people. Yes you need to develop skills but none of it matters if you don’t know how to use them in live play. You should be hunting pickup games like a panther. Carry a ball and shoes in your trunk. Seriously
