Cone drills end at the last cone and the game does not. Adding a finish forces the head up at the exact moment it usually stays down.

The V-Pull
The unopposed rep behind the drag-back. Groove the sole-then-outside pattern on both feet until the turn survives a real defender.

Dribbling
The Body Feint
The only move where the ball stays still during the fake. Drop the shoulder, lean hard, then push it the other way and go.

Reversing direction is faster than going around. Drag it back under the sole as he commits, push it off to the side and go.

Solo ball work is worth what its volume is worth. Two hundred touches in nine minutes is the only argument for doing it alone.

Running with the ball and dribbling are different skills. One keeps it within a stride, the other pushes it ten yards and chases.
