I have been having problems with driving the lane. I have the ability to do it and I can in practice but in games I just can't seem to do it. Does anyone know how to overcome driving the lane?

I have the same problem. But what helps me is to not even think about what your going to do and just do it. Plus get in the agressive mode before the game. I dont just me like 5 mins before the game starts, i mean like 1 to 2 hours before. Have confidence in yourself, espessually if you know you can do it!!! Hope that helped a little. Good luck and God bless!

Just be aggressive.
Maybe for some reason you hold back during the game when you don't in practice. When you get ready to drive the lane, make sure you dont hesitate.
Also, if you have the ability to fake the drive to the land and pull-up and do a fade away jump shot, that would increase the effectiveness of your game. You would be a double threat and it would be much harder to guard you, not knowing which shot you will take. Just a thought...

Okay, for your question, I do know a lot about basketball.
Do you mean driving the lane with people guarding you and you can do it?
If that's so, then you might be nervous in real games because you have pressure.
I can't seem to find anymore answers for the situation you described.
And anyways, in basketball, you've gotta practice, it might mean that you are not that formular, or that you are still not comfortable with it.
So, the only suggestion I have is to practice more and get use to it in practice.
I hope it's helpful. Driving the lane is really effective if you could do it, but you know that.

In games, some teams run zone defense (they guard an area of the court rather than a person on person D. If a player drives, they collapse to plug the lane. If this is happening, work on a little pull up jumper.
Another thing to keep in mind is that as the traffic around you (defenders) increases, you want to keep the ball lower and lower to the ground. This will protect the ball and keep you from turning it over.
Lastly, if the lane is collapsing on you, look to kick it out to an open player. Just because you don't score personally doesn't mean you can't contribute to a score on that possession. After you do that a couple times, the defenders will be more weary to leave their person who is scorching them thanks to your dimes.

That was a good response about getting position on your defender. If you get by your defender and into the lane, then protect the ball. Keep it close to your body, elbows slightly out to shield the ball a little. Work on a short floater and don't be afraid to get fouled. Getting the opposition in foul trouble is one of the best things about driving the lane.

Maybe when your in a game the oppisite team is better than your team at practice.
Maybe you should practice driving the lane with different people.

driving the lane could not be taught. it is instinct not everybody can drive the lane you should be a pretty good dribbler, or an explosive first step or very quick. you can practice these things but still it is still instinctively, so i suggest work on shooting, how to catch and shoot, and to shoot of the dribble.

There might be some things to help you. One of them is dribbling and do not worry about making turnovers. If you make a turnover the first time you get the ball, don't worry about it. Another is confidence. Confidence will come after a while, but when you first start, it will b hard.
