This video is about how your body orientation affects the amount of time and space your teammates receive.

The issue is not the pass itself.

It is how long you hold the ball before making it.

When you receive as a center back and turn your hips toward the sideline early, you tell the entire press where the ball is going.

That becomes a trigger.

Now the opposition can compress the space around the fullback before she even receives the pass.

The longer you take, the smaller that space becomes.

The solution is simple:

Play on fewer touches.

But more importantly:

Keep your hips facing the center circle on your first touch.

When your hips stay central, you keep the whole field available.

Now the press hesitates.

Now they cannot fully commit.

Now your teammate receives with more space and more time.

The best build-up players do not only move the ball quickly.

They keep their options open for as long as possible.

Hips to the center circle.
Play fast.
Keep the field open.
