Make feed passes hard. No rainbow balls or hospital passes, please.
Never Stand Still
When you have the ball, never stand still – keep moving all the time – if necessary run backwards and forwards – but keep moving. When you are ready to make a pass, take one step back quickly and move. If you are standing still, you’re wrong.
