He has gotten behind you and is pushing with his shoulder to carry you toward the sideline. Get free of his hand without stopping your feet, and get back on the line you had.
Key points
- Clear his hand as soon as you feel it, not three steps later.
- Your feet never stop while you clear his hand.
- Resume your route at an angle, not in a sharp cut, or you’ll lose speed.
Common mistakes
- Letting yourself get pushed toward the sideline, thinking you’ll recover further upfield.
- Stopping to get free, which gives him time to get back in front.
