How to Do First-Touch Outside and Why It Improves Passing

First-Touch Outside is a drill designed to help players redirect the ball with the outer part of the foot immediately after receiving it. By working against a wall or with a partner, players train their control, angles, and speed of play. This technique is especially effective for setting up the next pass and maintaining rhythm under pressure.
