Jordan Bloor Unit 2 Assignment Two

 

Dribbling

 

Coaching Points -  You want to keep the ball close at your feet by taking small touches with the inside of your feet when travelling with the ball.

Try to look up and see if there is an opponent around you and look to see if there is a team mate that you could pass to.  

Try not to stand up right, having low centre of gravity is an advantage with dribbling.

Shooting

Shooting with your laces would generate more power on the ball, shooting with the side foot would have more control on the ball. Leaning over the ball would make sure the it doesn't go over the bar. Make sure your standing foot is placed along side the ball.

 Passing

 

Use your side foot for a short and accurate pass along the ground. Using your laces for a pass would mean that you want a powerful chip pass and try to get curl on the ball.

 

Tactics

 

Chelsea employed an extra defender by playing him in defensive midfield against Spurs in the Capital One cup Final, this was so he could offer more protection for the back four and man mark Christian Eriksen. Chelsea soaked up the pressure knowing the could hit Spurs on the counter attack and score from set pieces which is what they did.

 

 

Serve

 

Stand on the edge of the court when serving.

With one hand hit the ball in then air to the opposing team.

 

 

Strengths/Weakness

 

My foot is on the court before I've served the ball which is an illegal serve.

A strength is that I was able to get it on to the other side of the court and get power on it.

 

The Dig

 

Be in a low position and thumbs should be together, when  you hit the ball use your legs and arms to get power into the ball with control.

 

Strengths/Weakness

My feet and legs are in the right position other than that it is a very weak shot.

 

Smash

 

Keep your eye on the ball and hit it at its highest point.

 

Strengths/Weakness

A strength is that I got power in the shot, but my weakness is that I hit the ball when it started to fall down and did not jump high enough.
 

Set Shot

Use your index finger and your thumb and palm the ball and push it up, to set someone up and return the ball to the opposing team.

 

Strengths/Weakness

A strength is that I got power in it, but I didn't have the right positioning and didn't get good direction on the ball.
