Blaine Hovenier is an absolute menace because of the work he puts in. This is a cooperative drill but highlights the footwork, the tiny adjustment split steps, and the ability to locate the ball IN FRONT of you.
By not going for outright winners while applying pressure, this drill works to trains the eyes, legs, and mind to stay in the rally for a long period of time. This discipline is everything. Blaine said that if he can steal just a few points over the course of a match from the mid-court or defensive positions, that can make difference between winning and losing. He can sit in drills like these or harder for 2+ hours—that’s why he’ll continue to find success.
