Train on the Edge!

To make significant improvements, it's important to "train on the edge".

In other words, you should dribble and pass so quickly and with so much force, that you're almost messing up. And you should make some mistakes. This means you're training on the edge... pushing yourself.

This will improve your hand speed, strength, allow you to play faster, and allow you to develop better skills.
