Answer 1

Do what all your other coaches have told you. Box out, stay low, shuffle, etc. Thats what coaches look for, a person who listens to their coaches.

I also suggest playing basketball and practicing this with your friends. And doing some conditioning so your faster, etc.

Answer 2

i guess the only thing you can do is just practice...goin to the gym would help.  I dont know what size you are, but if you play down low it would be good to muscle up.  Also, one thing that my team did (I was JV captain last year) was slides, where you just slide back in forth (make sure you keep your butt low and your arms out) for like 2 minutes straight.  It hurts while your doing it, but in the long run it helps.
