Open stride up to the third inside step at twelve yards, then your hips sink all at once and you get in and out of the breakpoint in three choppy steps, facing the passer. Ten reps.

Key points

  • Keep your stride long until the very last step; do not shorten it before then.
  • Three choppy steps, not four: any more than that, and the gap in the zone closes up.
  • You stop in the gap between two defenders; you don't run through it.
  • In a group, with a ball: your partner throws to you as you come out of the break. Same movement, plus the catch.

Common mistakes

  • Starting to sink your hips two steps too early.
  • Carrying on after the curl, which takes you into the neighboring coverage.
