Once he could see the pressure, the game slowed down.

Connor has real technical quality and a natural feel for the game. The problem was what he could see when the ball arrived. He received blind to the pressure around him. Could not read where it was coming from, how fast, or which angle. The result was good intentions ending in lost possession.

We worked on his angle of reception. Receive beyond the vertical line of the presser and aggressive straight pressure becomes hesitant diagonal pressure. Hesitation creates time. Time creates options. Once he felt that, the game slowed down completely.
