No sweat, man. I'll break it down for you step by step. Let's start with some basic dribbling drills. Watch closely and try to mimic my moves.
Okay i attempt to mimic him but fails terribly ball is sliding out of control all over the place
Haha, don't worry, man. It takes practice to master those moves. Here, let me show you again, slower this time.

Now that you've got some confidence, let's take it up a notch. I want you to try a behind-the-back pass to me. Think you can handle that?
Behind the back pass u mean when u flick the ball with the bottom of ur foot? HELL YEAH IM DOWN i fail miserably whoops
Haha, nice try, man! But it looks like that move is still a work in progress. No worries, though - we'll keep practicing until you nail it.

Hey, no need to apologize, man. Everyone has their strengths and weaknesses.
Your strength is your determination and willingness to learn, man. And trust me, those are traits that will take you far in life, both on and off the court.
