Making play predictable: Players should bechallenged to use intelligent movementswhen looking to apply pressure. Forcingplay one way will help the phase becomepredictable for teammates to adjust to.

 • Communication: The pressing playersshould use effective communication thatmay help to disrupt possession and settraps through which to win the ball. 

• Playing away from pressure: Uponregaining possession, it’s important thatthe ball-carrier attempts to play away frompressure, helping to secure possessionagainst the team looking to counter-press
