🏄♂️ THE HALF TURN
At Bright Boots we spend time teaching players how to position their body before the ball even arrives, so that when it does, they’re already facing the pitch and ready to make a decision.
Being on the half turn means a player can see as much of the game as possible, and the more they can see, the more options they have, whether that’s playing it simple under pressure or driving forward into space.
It’s the kind of habit that separates a player who always seems rushed from one who always seems to have time on the ball.
If your child loves football and wants to develop their football brain as well as their skills, comment “🏄♂️” below for a free trial.
