Answer
Hi Floyd,

What you need to do is practice a few key post moves during practice sessions.  Gain confidence in those moves. During game situations, use the moves that you practiced. Slow down, take your time, and always remember to breath. it's just a game, your suppose to be having fun remember that.  Good Luck.
