Hi, I'm Chris Murray, and I'm going to demonstrate to you on how to do a drag swerve. In soccer,
there's many different moves that you can do in order to fake out your defenders, and
also to change direction. By being able to change direction quickly and at a split-second,
it really gives you an edge over your opponents. Often and times, players dribble into areas
of the field where there's a lot of defenders and they need to get out of there extremely
quickly. A drag swerve can allow you to do that. A drag swerve is done by pulling the
ball at the sole of your foot in front of your body, and then using the outside of your
foot quickly to take it the other way. So, if you're dribbling forward, a drag swerve
is done by using the sole of your foot to take it forward, and then before your foot
hits the ground again, you take it back with the outside of that foot. By being able to
do a drag swerve quickly and at a split-second really gives you an edge over your opponent
by being able to get out of that trouble area and find your next pass or move on to your
next move. So again, a drag swerve is done by pulling the ball forward, and then, before
your foot hits the ground, taking it back in the opposite direction. And that's how
you do a drag swerve.
