After our 2meter series, we have plans to do some ball side drives videos, which would help you. We are going to try and post more often! Thanks for watching!

You should check out part one in our Moving the Ball series, Initiating the Drive. That's the first part to getting past your defender. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mN2ZltOWrtO7oXU.html

Thank you, appreciate that.

@@ShaquaticsNet The video was perfectly timed as these are all things that my daughter has been learning over the last few weeks. I think the techniques are applicable to any attacking player. The lean/push into the defender before kicking away is subtle and easily missed or forgotten, but a great way to gain that extra bit of space!

This is a tough one to answer as I'm not at your practices and I don't know what's going on. I'll tell you what I tell my kids the ingredients are to a good practice. You want to learn, work hard, and have fun. You need all three in my opinion and all three balanced. For example if you're having too much fun at the expense of the drills then you're wasting your time. You need to balance having fun while staying focused and getting your work in. I would focus on those three things at practice and if you feel like the learning aspect is not there then add in the drills you find on KZfaq. For example you could do the passing isolations I teach during your passing practice, just throw them in. You could be working on your grip strength while you have some downtime. Hope that helps, and good luck.

That's on our to do list!

I’ve noted that and added it to our long list of videos to do, I think it’s a great idea. I might title it ‘stuff you can do at home,’ kind of catchy.

That's a good idea I'll mark that down. One of the problems with 2M defense is that you can play it really well and still get ejected.

I agree and we love our watchers from all over the world, it makes our day. I want to visit Norway one day.

You just gave me a great idea for a video. I call it chicken, I'm not sure if others cal it that or not. It's head up freestyle arms and eggbeater kick. It can be used 100 different ways but one good use is to get someone off of you when they are grabbing or to prevent them from grabbing. I'll get on that video for more details but I hope that helps get you started.

breastkicking his face (read: making small angles with a quick bs kick, if you do this early enough no sane defender shouldnt be able to pass). One of my coaches said to never feel bad if a defender wants to put his face on your feet

Unfortunately you can only do so much, you can’t pass yourself the ball. I recently did a short on a great John Wooden quote that may help you, I know it helps me. You must focus on what you can control, namely your effort. Being a vocal leader may help also but remember you are their teammate not their coach. kzfaq.infoiejXEE8LGis?feature=share
