Why Your Body Shape Is Costing Your Game
- It’s not your touch — it’s your body shape
- Most players receive in poor positions
- Your body shape determines your options before the ball arrives

You’re Upright & Closed
Chapter 2
You’re Upright & Closed
- Most players receive standing tall and facing where the ball came from
- Upright = slow reactions and poor balance
- Closed body = limited vision and options
- Upright + closed = late and predictable

Get Low & Build A Wide Base

Get Low & Build A Wide Base
- Bend your knees before receiving
- Lower center of gravity = quicker adjustments
- Wider base = better balance
- Balance = cleaner touch under pressure
- Low + wide = control

Play Forward (Open Body Shape)
Chapter 5
Play Forward (Open Body Shape)
- Open your body before receiving (half turn)
- Face forward, not where the ball came from
- Open body = more vision and more options
- See your targets early (teammates, space, goal)
- First touch should set up the next action
- Receive to play forward, not backward
