 So the number one rule when you're taking someone on, do not hesitate. Hesitation will get you tackled. So if I'm in this situation with him and I don't know what I'm doing, I don't know where to go, I'm allowing him to close me down, he becomes in control. When you're defending someone you want to make up their mind, you want to force them in a certain direction, you want to trap them. So the longer you take to make a move, the more he becomes in control. If I just go without hesitation, okay, now I'm in control. And even if your skills are poor, even if you have really bad dribbling or a bad touch, if you go at him without hesitation, you will be successful. Okay, if I let him get set, now his body positioning is good. Again, his body position, he's lower to the ground, he's ready to turn, he's ready to react. But if I just go, I don't let him get set, I'm going to beat him simply with speed and no hesitation. So number one, do not hesitate. Number two, just be very direct. I don't have to do all this and try to nutmeg him or put it over his head. Okay, grab that for me. I don't have to do all these skills. I can just touch it to the left, to the right and go with pace. So even if you're not the fastest player, like I said, don't hesitate. Be direct. You'll get space. You'll get space to put in a cross. You'll get space to create a pass for yourself or get a shot on goal. Do not hesitate. Be very direct. Now say now, you can still use moves and what I would suggest if the space is there, just dribble into the space. But if he's not letting me get into the space, that's different. Now I might have to shift him one way and create space for myself. So I really want you guys to simplify. I'm going to show you a few moves that you can use, but I really want you to simplify when you're in these one-on-one situations. Don't hesitate. Be very direct. If the space is there, just take the space. You don't even have to beat the man. That's another thing I wanted to talk about. I'm not so concerned about him. I'm more concerned about the space I want to attack. When I pick up the ball, I'm just trying to sprint to the net as quickly as possible and I'll dodge everyone along the way. So you guys can see that my mentality is very simple and I think a lot of us get in this situation and we overcomplicate it. We think we have to embarrass him or we think we have to do moves when in reality, if we're just very quick with our decision making, we dribble into space. If we have to shift him in one direction or another, we will. The final thing I want to talk about is what if I try to take him on and I can't get past him. Okay, so let's say we went down the line here and we get in this situation. What do I do now? Well, what I don't want to do is stop the ball. Let's just come here to make sure we're in the camera. So let's say I tried to take him down the line. It didn't work. What a lot of players do is we stop here and now we get stuck and now again, he becomes in control. He might be a big strong defender. Suddenly he pushes me off the ball. So if you try to dribble and it doesn't work, just turn, just keep moving. Do not stop. So something like this, if I want to come down here, didn't work. That's all right. He comes inside, didn't work. Just turn, just keep moving. Just keep the ball moving and you're going to make it much more difficult for him to tackle. So you can go there. If it doesn't work, just turn, play a pass or turn, keep dribbling inside. If he didn't let you go inside, just turn, come back out.
