Coaching Points
- Diagonal cut should be at 45 degrees — sharper cuts are harder to defend
- Time your run so you receive the ball while still accelerating
- Wing shot position: plant the inside foot, square the shoulders, snap the wrist on release
- Return pass from the wing must be precisely placed at shooting height
- Commit fully to the wing — half-cuts give the defender two chances to intercept
