    Practice dribbling with great ball control, without having to look at the ball. Also, be able to dribble with both hands. Finally, practice your defense, especially stealing the ball from people that are dribbling.

    Get a book on basketball fundamentals or look at the video's on this website. Focus on ball handling, passing, dribbling, shooting and defense. The video's will show you how to do the drills. Practice them and you will be the talk of the town.

    Continue to develop your handles, quickness and speed, and concentrate on being a pass first guard (Magic Johnson). Get yourself some McDavid body armour and protect yourself, but develop a fierce drive (Alan Iverson). Be fearless. Your shots will come, but when you step on the court, you should be the man who makes everyone play better (Steve Nash). Being small, you also have to give your all, all the time. And that's okay. Now go break some ankles.
