Execute a sharp move at speed and accelerate past the defender into space.
One cone (or passive partner) as the defender, ball at your feet, 5 yards of run-up.
- Set up a cone or have a passive defender
- Approach at match speed
- Practice specific moves: step-overs, scissors, body feints, Cruyff turn
- Execute the move and accelerate away
- Alternate which foot you use for the move
- Approach at game speed — the defender has to commit
- Body shape sells the fake direction before the cut
- Touch out of the move pushes the ball into space
- Explosive first 3 yards after the cut
- Telegraphing the move — no fake before the cut
- No acceleration after the move (the move IS what beats the defender, the burst is what punishes them)
- Same move every rep — predictable
- Approaching too slowly to threaten the defender
