Key Coaching Points

Footwork - feet shoulder width apart, keeping on the balls of the feet.

Decelerate - small / quick steps to slow down and get control of the body to change direction.

Accelerate - push off the back foot, planting the inside of the bottom of the foot down. The knee slightly bent, used to spring once the foot makes contact with the floor.
