Soccer drill
Step Over Right/Left Foot
Circling your foot over and around the ball trains the explosive step-over feint used to wrong-foot defenders before you accelerate past them.
How to do it
Swing one foot around the front of the ball from inside to outside without touching it, then push out and repeat with the other foot. Keep the ball still and your touches light. Practice once, then count your step-overs over 30 seconds at pace.

Left/Right Foot Scissors
