Stephen Curry works through body-control drills to shoot off the dribble from awkward angles. The progression moves from full curls to half curls to no-step curls, then mirrors each pattern on the opposite side. The goal is bilateral symmetry and the precise body control needed for his diverse shot selection.

Now we're going to work on body control. So he's going through a drill where he's working on curling. So he goes through a full curl, then he'll go to what we call a half curl. So his, his right foot is going to stop halfway in between after the full curl. So there's a full curl. Now he'll go to a half curl. So the right foot's further back and then he'll go through a full rotation. So no step, just leave the ground, rotate, hit the shot. So we're working on body control, which is something we do quite often with him just because of the nature of the shot selection that he has to utilize. In terms of he's, he's got to get a lot of things off the dribble. He's got to get a lot of things at odd angles. So we have to put positions and workouts to where he's working with a high level of variability, but he's also got to work on a lot of body control. So you go in full curl, half curl, no step curl, and then we work on what we call mirrored movements. So anything we do one side of the floor, we have to work to the other side of the floor, even if it's very uncomfortable. Mm-hmm.
