you have the ball you look up you see
the defender isolated today we'll show
you the stages of beating a defender 1v1
you're watching all attack stage 1
recognize this situation the first step
to beating someone one-on-one is to look
up and make sure it's actually a
one-on-one if there's three players in
your way then it's probably not a good
idea to try and dribble them all but if
you see that the defender is isolated
without much cover behind them then this
may be your moment to take them on
[Music]
Stage two dribble at them once you've
decided to take them on use the nudge to
dribble straight at the defender the
nudge is a dribbling technique that
allows you to run with speed while
keeping the ball close dribbling at your
opponent forces them to engage either
they're going to backup forever
and give you an open shot or cross or
they're going to stop and try and take
the ball from you stage three time your
move
usually when you nudge at a defender
with speed they'll back up to try and
stop you from running past them
but they can't back off forever
eventually they have to stop and try and
get a tackle in and it's at this moment
that you want to make your move past
them
when you're dribbling at the defender
watch their legs closely and the moment
they stop or move to take the ball
that's when you cut past them also keep
in mind that every defender has an area
in front of them where they could
potentially steal the ball so it's best
to make your move before you get too
close
stage-four accelerate when you cut your
touch should be far enough to take you
past the defender this will allow you to
accelerate as fast as possible
[Music]
also make sure to keep your arm ready to
fend off any attacks from the defender
at the end of the day if you want to
beat someone one-on-one you need decent
acceleration at least compared to the
defender you're playing against if you
want to improve your acceleration you
can check out some of our speed videos
in the description you can use simple
skills to beat a defender you can use
complicated skills to beat a defender
or you can just cut past them with speed
[Music]
there's no one way to beat a defender
but if you want to be a great one-on-one
player you have to dribble out the
defender watch their legs and make your
move at the right moment all right
