How to spin and escape from the opponent

This skill will help you to create space, protect the ball and escape from pressure when facing a frontal defender. If you pay attention to the video, you will see how the ball carrier puts the right foot between the ball and the defender in order to pivot to her right. By putting the foot down, she is protecting the ball while she spins away from danger. Video source: KNHB
