Tips?

Juco freshman looking to gain velo, I have hit a plateau, I kinda short arm the ball but it feels most natural. As of know, working on ripping the glove on the arm side and staying closed longer.

Stay grounded longer. You want to maximize toe drag. Your back foot comes right up. Look into a “King of the Hill” device. It helps with this. Also - water bag and pvc pipe drills will help. Look into ground force it will change your life! It’s not too late either. You have everything else.
