Coaching detail
- Longer pass now to start. Make sure pass is firm enough yet accurate. Want to play 1 touch so think about how you would want to receive it to allow that.
- Once first pass is played, trigger for nearside wide player to step in, have an open body position to allow reverse pass into stride of attacker to finish. Use different techniques, left foot switch or allow ball to roll across and punch it through with right foot.
