How to Do First-Touch L-Drag and Why It Improves Direction Changes
First-Touch L-Drag is a wall drill where the player receives the ball and immediately drags it in an L-shape pattern with the sole. This helps shift direction quickly, maintain control, and create space under pressure. Practicing with a wall builds sharpness, composure, and precision in movement.
