Keep in mind whilst performing forward/back the issue of straight lines. They can run forward quicker than you and run backwards.
step in step out & pivot.
Just start keeping it simple then add to it.;)
Remember to stay on your toes, rather than landing heel first with your step in, you wont be able to step out quickly if this is the case.Quote:

He said to just practice it, I was wondering if there were any drills. But Im getting the hang of it. I'd pivot instead though.Quote:
