How to Do First-Touch Half-Turn and Why It Improves Turning
First-Touch Half-Turn is a wall drill where the player receives the ball and immediately opens their body to turn into space with the first touch. This trains awareness, control, and quick turning — essential for midfielders and players under pressure. Using a wall helps repeat the movement with precision and consistency.
