oh yeah - one other point about press breaking (and this applies to any time you're on offense):
Even if you are slightly scared/ in panic mode - DON"T SHOW IT! Defenses smell fear, they feast on it, it causes defenders to swarm the ball handlers and potential pass receivers a lot faster. It fuels the intensity of the pressure on their press.
Yeah, when breaking a press stay cool (even little things like claiming your space immediately via use of the pivot foot when holding the ball and not dribbling) - at least in the defender's eyes. Even better than cool - be the agressor if possible.
