Master multiple turn types so you can escape pressure in any direction.
3 cones in a line, 3 yards apart, ball, open space.
- Place 3 cones in a line, 3 yards apart
- Dribble to each cone and execute a different turn: Cruyff turn, drag-back, inside cut, outside hook
- After each turn, accelerate to the next cone
- Focus on selling the fake direction before turning
- Practice each turn 5 times, then mix randomly
- Time yourself and try to beat your best time while maintaining quality
- Body sells a fake direction first
- Turn happens in one motion, not three touches
- Ball stays close through the turn
- Acceleration out of the turn breaks the line
- Same turn used every time — predictable
- No fake before the turn — defender reads it
- No acceleration after the turn
- Soft touches on the turn — ball stays on the wrong foot
