Instructions

  1. 1Start behind the goal line extended and curl upfield slowly, inviting the defender to close.
  2. 2Change pace explosively as the defender commits, cutting toward the middle.
  3. 3Attack downhill directly at the cage once the angle opens.
  4. 4Finish with a shot or pass instead of drifting behind the goal again.

What to focus on

Selling the slow curl convincingly before the explosive change of pace.

Common mistake

Speeding up too early, giving the defender time to recover before the real attack.
