How to Step Right and Go Left

Key Points:

1. Step right and drop your shoulder to fake you are going to run right.
2. Push the ball a few steps ahead of you with the outside of your left foot at a 45 degree forward angle.
3. Change pace and blow past the defender.
4. Do this move early! Don't wait until you are right on top of your defender to make your move. 

Equipment Needed: You need a ball and three cones. 

Exercise Player Can Do: 

Before using the cones practice this move from a stand still position. Stand behind the ball, do the move and then accelerate forward. Repeat until comfortable. Once comfortable get the cones out. 

Dribble to the middle cone, your imaginary defender, step right and go left, then accelerate to the top cone. Light dribble back and repeat. Do this 10 times, then rest and repeat 3 sets. 

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong: 

If you are getting the ball stolen a lot from a defender then you are doing this move when you are right on top of your defender. Do it earlier. 

If it feels awkward then you probably look awkward. Keep your step closer to the ball so you can have an athletic push off and get into a sprinting stride quicker after your touch. 

Bonus Tip!

Make a quick decision after your move! You don't need to beat a defender by 10 yards! Once you get past the defender then pass, shoot or cross. Don't give the defender time to catch up with you by thinking you need to run 10 yards past them!
