Push the ball outside to create separation — the most natural directional cut when going wide or protecting the ball from a pressuring defender.
One cone as defender. Ball at feet. Space to the outside.
- Dribble toward the cone at pace
- Push the ball diagonally outward (right) with the outside of your right foot
- One decisive touch — no adjusting touch before you accelerate
- Your body naturally follows the ball to the outside
- Explode immediately — the burst IS the move
- Ball placed 1-2 yards into space, not dead underfoot
- Mirror: outside of left foot cuts left
- Single decisive outside-of-foot push — one touch only
- Ball placed 1-2 yards outside — in space but not out of reach
- Body accelerates immediately behind the ball
- First 3 yards clearly faster than the approach
- Multiple small touches instead of one decisive outside push
- Ball runs too far — outside cut must stay in control
- No body commitment — the upper body must follow the ball
- Slow first step — the exit must be explosive

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.
