Hockey: Posting Up - lead and turn

Description

- Making an aggressive lead towards the ball and rolling over the left shoulder

- Rolling over the left shoulder is referred to as 'turning strong'

Coaching points

- The strong turn is one of the simplest yet effective moves in the game. Make sure players are creating a large circle that allows them to protect the ball whilst still moving forwards

- One common mistake people make is trying to pick the ball up at full pace out of a lead. Once you are in front of the defender, and close to the ball, use a few stutter steps to slow down and collect the ball at a more comfortable pace
