All principles
In Possession
Open body shape
Receive on your back foot with your body half-turned so you can see forward.
Why it matters
An open body means you can pass, turn or dribble forward. A closed body only lets you go backwards.
Coaching cues
- “Open up”
- “Back foot touch”
- “Show your chest to the pitch”
