Step by Step

  1. Approach the defender with the ball at your feet, keeping it close.
  2. Use your dominant foot to step over the ball, moving your foot in a circular motion around the ball.
  3. Shift your body weight to the side of the step over to sell the fake direction.
  4. Quickly push the ball in the opposite direction with your other foot and accelerate past the defender.

Pro Tips

Make the motion wide and exaggerated. Sell the fake with your upper body. Practice at different speeds. Combine with other moves. Accelerate after the move.
