Why it matters

On the wing the full back is waiting for you to slow down. A touch into space and a fast first step leave them behind before they can turn. This drill joins the touch and the burst into one move.

How to do it

  1. Set up

  2. Touch

  3. Open and leave

    Turn up the line and punch your first step. Chase the ball hard for 10 metres.

  4. Score it

    Walk back. Give the leave a score from 1 to 10 for sharpness. Rest, then go again.

Coaching cue

Touch. Open. Leave.

Parents: film one rep from behind and a little outside the touchline. Get the touch, the turn and the first three steps in one shot.

I can do this.

I touch it into space. I open up. I am gone before they turn.
