Players
Do not fear failure. If you are constantly worried about messing up you will always grip your stick too tight and never be able to play to your potential. And with that, Give 100%, 100% of the time. If you are going hard and you are passionate about what you are doing, it doesn’t matter if you make a mistake, you just learn from it. Everyone makes mistakes, it’s about having a short memory, becoming better from the mistake, and worrying about executing the next play.
Cut Hard and Fast
Make full cuts – go through and out – don’t cut at half speed or hang around the crease after your cut.
Zigs and Zags
Zig your cuts, fake left – go right, fake right – go left. Don’t always run at the same speed, change of pace is a very effective method of getting open.
After the Clear
After the ball has been cleared, if you have a wide-open opportunity to dodge, do it. If you are sure a man is open, pass to him, settle the ball down, and let your attack get set up. Remember, after a clear, the midfielders will need time to catch their breath. Middies rest on offense, […]
Try Some Dodges
Every man on the attack should try at least two dodges every game. Learn at least three different types of dodges.
Don’t Rush at Him
Don’t rush at a man when riding – particularly behind the goal. Force him to pass – force him in the direction where there is help. Talk all the time and run hard. The success of an attack depends on their riding ability and their desire to have the ball.
