Any way I can improve my dribbling faster?

Question

I am a 14 year old, I am 5'10 134 lbs. I am the PF for my team, but I am the best shooter on my team, I play like a SF. I bring up the ball when needed, and I am the go-to player for my team, whether it is a post move, a mid-range jump shot or a 3 pointer. I knock them down when needed. I have a private coach that I work with throughout the offseason who fixed my shooting form and helped my dribbling get better, but gradually. Since I still am in my season, I am not taking my lessons. My coach never helped me with my crossover, my dad has though. I play every day and the funny thing is I get past kids who guard me when I use the crossover. Yes, I can go in between my legs and behind the back and all of that, and it is all fluent, but I want to get faster at it so I can develop more into a PG or SG, as I'm going to be about 6'5 when I'm older.

You get a ball dribble super fast and low, throw the ball off the wall when you get it cross over low and fast dribble again hard and fast about 5 times then bounce it off the wall then take the ball around the back. this will improve ball handling and speed do this maybe 20 minuets a day its fun and you get soooo much better!

I think the only way to increase your dribbling speed is to bounce the ball lower. The lower it is, the less of a journey it has to make.

Also just keep practising those crossovers, because eventually you'll be able to know the path of the ball and therefore dribble faster.

If you train consistently, using the right methods and being provided with good feedback, it will probably take you 2 months to become a competent dribbler. To become a good dribbler requires years of practice.
