How to Do First-Touch Drag and Why It Improves Footwork
First-Touch Drag is a wall drill where the player pulls the ball with the sole immediately after receiving it. This move helps control the ball, create space, and set up the next action quickly. Training with a wall builds sharper reactions, better coordination, and confidence in tight areas.
