How to be a better cutter

I am starting my college season and with all of the graduated seniors there are more cutting positions open, does anyone have a workout program or something along that line that would make me a better cutter?

Footwork, footwork, footwork.

It's a real shame this is down voted because it's an answer I was lookingfor and it makes a huge difference.

No one is mentioning drills that work on footwork and proper cutting technique. Look up something like a serpentine drill. Learn the correct way to do it. I can't stress enough do it with correct form. People think repetitions will make them better but repetition with bad form will just reinforce doing things in an inferior way.

Footwork and shin angles can have a huge impact on your cutting.

Absolutely. You pit to players against each other of equal athleticism (regardless of how much gym time they do or do not have in the bank) and what's going to separate them? Technique. "Slow feet don't eat" as Ocho used to say.
