We're providing a contest of the ball that he has to try and shift third one. We're trying to roll the defender away and the fourth one where the clean-out needs to make a decision. So just look through the four options here as we go through So hard off the outside leg buddy. Let's go when you eat out of the outside leg window Chase Boys. Walk it back on the shoulder. Who are we looking for Boyd here with the lip of the pad is just a nice small window the clean-out to get underneath when you're ready. I'd off the outside leg work there live lovely.

Nice low Windows set your height on the way in underneath. Hold on so but over. The second one we're looking at trying to shift to play who's got good position over the ball. So return the shrill diver. We've got a nice little Target area here on the LI that were trying to eat with their Charlotte. So same principle from are clean out nice and low side the target area hit down Chase through when you ready, man. Hitting down and chasing. Hold on. Excellent. Once the other shoulder to get most important that we sight the target yellow area. We hit down and try and lift and Chase. the good stuff ensuring we're taking maximum speed into the contact and then arriving at the height that we need to arrive if you don't it down it down. Good good. What's Ward base try and hit the in and through going to chase speed in and through speed speed speed down its throat lovely well done. So Brava just also principle.

Well, I send real well done. That's why I'm swapping over this time. It's almost our with a shrill side on so we're looking to do as soon as that clinic gets to his feet get him to look up. It has to make a decision. And so the guys holding surely he turns it over this way. We're offering the small window for our clean air to come through.

The Rock Later, so just using the sheerly to simulate the height of players on the ground. We're gonna play contesting the ball so you can all I'm looking for for our player. So this time we're trying to attack opposition balls. I'm looking for are were taking play to just win space over the ball this time to get same starting position one left one right? Nice wide base. So we got our position players coming at the ball looking at wind shoulders wind spice over tags when you're ready. Northwest I swear I'm the type 1 by square on which all this takes place well done. What's the other side So again, we just try to use the shield to try and find the correct body height and provide a good Target.
