Improving Cutting Consistency
This offseason, I’m working on becoming more consistent with my cutting. Cutting has always been challenging for me, especially as a Deaf player. I tend to cut with feel, sensing when space might open up and reacting to what I see.
Some days, everything clicks. I know where to go, I find open space, using my speed, and it doesn’t matter who’s covering me. Other days, I hesitate a lot, get confused, and end up running into closed spaces instead of waiting for openings.
I’m planning to work more on mechanics (angles, timing, setup cuts) and maybe watch more film. Film helps, but it doesn’t always translate to on-field vision.
For anyone who’s dealt with similar challenges, even if not Deaf, do you have tips for building better cutting habits? Drills, cues, mixing instinct with structure, or anything that helped you get past this plateau?
Thanks in advance.
