I'm not sure what you mean by footing, but I think you mean quicker first step, if you really want to increase that do agility drills like putting a bunch of pilons straight then going threw them really quickly and moving your feet really quickly.

jsut gotta work on quick reflexes
if u use jumpsoles, ur vert will be higher and u'll be quicker
O, DO DRILLS WHERE YOU HAVE TO CHANGE DIRECTIONS VERY QUICKLY, u'll start to develop speed

i think u shoul do this an also work on your ball handling cause u don t need to be fast to break ankles. off topic: i have just a question for u,u have the same height as me and the vertical is not very different,and can u dunk?

Try changing direction more, it usually helps cause if you practice changing directions, it makes the footing easier, when you try spins, and etc.

also, you could try sprinting full speed or pretty fast in one direction, then doing a sidestep quicky to another, this is kinda like a fast cross - when you get better at that you can start doing it a bit slower with a ball
