Striker repeatedly checks across the defender\'s shoulder, looking for the moment to attack the space behind. Drills the constant subtle movement of forwards who pin a back line.
• Move on the blind side of the defender
• Check across, hold, check back — keep them guessing
• Watch the defender\'s eyes — when they look at the ball, run
• Stay onside until the pass is played
• First touch goes AWAY from the recovering defender
Progression: defender is fully active and tries to track. Add a goal at the end of the run.
Regression: defender stationary, striker walks through the movement.
