how must the right wing position her at the post if the ball is entering the circle from the right

Hi Ronel,
When the ball is entering the circle from the right, the right wing should position herself strategically to maximise scoring opportunities. Here's a recommended positioning:
Positioning at the Post: The right wing should aim to position herself in line with the right post, slightly in front of the goal, about 3-5 meters away. This positioning allows her to effectively deflect or receive passes.
Body Orientation: Her left shoulder should be pointing towards the goal, ensuring that she is ready to receive a pass or deflect the ball into the goal.
Run and Timing: The player should time her run in an arc to hold space and be ready to receive the ball. This involves using an S-shaped run to get into the optimal position.
For more detailed drills on positioning and scoring from the right wing, you can refer to the "Right Wing - Cross and Shoot" drill.
I hope this helps,
Cam
