- Teammate as a wall: returns the ball first time
- Defender: watches the ball and is left behind by the run
- Return pass: lands in the free space behind the defender
Examples
- A midfielder plays a quick one-two with a striker to break into the penalty area.
- In basketball, a player passes to a teammate, cuts to the basket and gets the ball back for a layup.
Key takeaways
- Move the moment you pass: the run is what beats the defender.
- The return pass is played first time, into space ahead of the runner.
