Hi Amelia. To make the "Criss-Cross Pass - Land on outside foot" drill easier, you could consider the following modifications:
- Simplify Movements: Reduce the complexity by having players start at a slower pace. Allow them to walk through the movements to build confidence and understanding of the footwork.
- Reduce Intensity: Limit the number of repetitions initially to prevent fatigue, allowing players to concentrate on technique rather than speed.
- Focus on Footwork: Allow players to practice landing on their outside foot in isolation before integrating it into the full drill. This can help them get comfortable with the specific movement.
- Use Visual Aids: Mark specific landing and pivot points on the ground with cones or markers. This visual guidance can help players understand where they need to position themselves.
- Pair-up Practice: Let players work in pairs where one observes and provides feedback to the other, helping each other understand what adjustments need to be made.
