Prescription

Players

Equipment
Cones (recommended)

Two players start facing each other from two cones (or other markers: bottles, bags). One leads and changes direction whenever they want; the other must replicate the change of direction exactly, without knowing which one is coming. Roles are switched every four repetitions. Sixteen repetitions.

Key points

  • The leader gives no warning: without surprise, the drill trains nothing.
  • The follower learns a break from the inside, by going through it: that’s what teaches him to sell it later.
  • Stay in the lane between the two cones. The goal is a faithful copy of the move, not the distance covered.

Common mistakes

  • A leader who repeats the same break four times in a row.
  • A follower who anticipates instead of reacting, which turns the drill into a guessing game.
