Instructions

  1. 1Align on a defender shaded to your outside shoulder.
  2. 2Take a flat first step to threaten the outside number before working across the face.
  3. 3Finish with your hat outside the defender's frame to seal the running lane.

What to focus on

A flat, outside-threatening first step rather than an upfield one.

Common mistake

Stepping upfield too early, allowing the defender to cross-face and spill the run.
