SOLE DRAG
Reinforcing What We Teach | Step By Step
Overview
This tight spaced move can trick a defender with a quick flick of the foot.
Setting It Up
Whenever a defender thinks they have a chance at stealing the ball away from you they will lunge towards the ball.
Technique
With the sole of your foot on top of the ball push your toe down on the ball hard. You will now have a tight grip on the ball so you can pull it across your body.
Notes
Use sole drag to pull the ball square across your body and explode past them using the outside of your opposite foot.
