Excellent Question - always good to identify your weaknesses and work on them...



There's a few things you can do to develop quicker feet:



1. Jump Rope (speed rope, obviously)

2. Do line jumping drills

- (quick jumps back and forth over the line or a jump rope)

- with your feet together, parallel to the line,

- jump back and forth laterally as fast as you can)

3. Perform defensive conditioning drills like the defensive figure-8

4. Do some dot drills

5. Improve your core strength

- your core is involved in every athletic movement,

- the stronger it is, the more efficient your other muscles work.

6. get some training aids like jumpsoles, lateral plyo boxes, etc.

7. Foot-fire drills will also help



Basically, a lot of lateral movement as fast as you can repeatedly is what's going to help you out the most.
