How to record this drill
Record 20–30 seconds showing 5–8 attempts. This is the scoring clip, not the full 20 minutes practice session.
3/4 or slightly elevated angle, camera chest height (~4–5 ft off the ground), 8–10 yards back — the full 360° rotation needs to fit in frame; avoid filming too close or the spin exits frame.

Spin completely past a defender while shielding the ball — the two sole rolls generate the full 360° rotation. Confidence is required; hesitation collapses the move.
One cone as defender or a passive partner applying light pressure. Space to spin in.
- Approaching the cone, place the sole of your right foot on the ball and roll it forward-right
- Immediately plant your right foot and spin 180° counterclockwise
- Your left foot takes over — sole on the ball, continuing the rotation
- Complete the full 360° — your back briefly faces the direction you came from
- Shield the ball throughout — back stays between cone and ball at all times
- Exit with the ball under control, accelerating in the original direction
- Start slow — the two sole rolls with a full spin takes repetition
- First sole roll: right foot rolls ball forward-right, plants firmly
- Second sole roll: left foot catches ball mid-rotation and completes the 360°
- Back faces the defender throughout — ball shielded at all times
- Exit compact — ball emerges from the spin within 1 yard
- First sole roll too fast — loses control and the spin collapses
- Back fails to stay between the ball and defender during the spin
- The two sole rolls are inconsistent — one drags, one pushes — ball escapes
- Spin too wide — a tight spin is faster and harder to intercept

Technique
The move is executed with the correct mechanics for this specific drill (foot path, contact point, timing). See per-move AI instructions for exactly what to look for.
Deception
Shoulder/body fake sells the move — an imagined defender would realistically commit. Weight transfer is visible and deliberate. The fake precedes the exit.
Ball Control
Ball stays within playing distance (1–2 yards max) throughout the move. Exit touch is controlled. No heavy touch that gives possession away.
Explosive Exit
Acceleration in the first 3 steps after the move. Ball pushed into open space (not dead underfoot). Player body leans forward into the burst.
Balance & Control
Low centre of gravity during the move. Stable body position — no stumble or lurch. Player is under control at the point of exit.
