The perfect nutmeg
By David Clarke
Going through the defender with a nutmeg move alleviates the problem of trying to go around the defender.
The tip is to get the defender off balance:
-
Control the ball before the defender gets within two strides of you. Determine which foot the defender has his weight on. Defenders are taught not to stand flat-footed, so their planted foot is slightly ahead of their other foot.
-
Push the ball to the outside of the defender's planted foot. Keep contact with the ball as you push it no more than six to 12 inches.
-
Allow the defender to shift his weight to his back foot while moving his front foot to block you.
-
Redirect the ball toward the spot where the defender's front foot was previously.
-
Tap the ball between the defender's legs. Step around the defender and you've opened up a number of possibilities.
