1️⃣ Read the defender: if the defender cuts you off and keeps his hand low its the perfect situation to use the over the top gather.
2️⃣ Gather: bring the ball as high as possible, fully extend the arms to create as much separation to keep the ball protected.
3️⃣ Protect the bal: bring the ball to the outside of your hip to keep your body between the defender and the ball.
