Week 76 One to One #8

Instructions/Setup:

This unopposed 1-to-1 winger drill focuses on decision-making, dribbling, and execution in wide areas. The winger receives a pass out wide and drives toward a mannequin positioned just outside the box. As they approach, the coach shouts either “1” or “2.” If “1” is called, the winger takes the ball down the line and delivers a cross into a mini goal near the six-yard box. If “2” is called, the winger cuts inside and finishes on goal.

Coaching Notes:

• Scan Early to Prepare Before Receiving – Check surroundings before the ball arrives to plan your first touch and route.

• Drive at Defender with Controlled Aggression – Approach the mannequin at pace with tight touches to force a decision point.

• Disguise and Commit on Final Move – Use body feints or changes of pace to sell the action and commit the mannequin.

• Deliver with Purpose Based on Decision – Cross or shoot with precision depending on coach's call, maintaining technical control.
