][players YOUR EDGE
I have to be thinking fake, fake, fake. Once you throw your fake, it will be much easier to see what your goalie is giving you. You always have more time than you think you do. It’s important to slow your brain down instead of frantically throwing it just for the sake of shooting. It only takes half a second to fake your shot, and then it will be really obvious where you want to stick the ball.
You know she’s coming for the back check.
Once you beat your girl, be aware of her on your back.
I can feel her on my arms, so I’m not that worried about her. I’m a little bit more worried about a double, so I usually have my eyes up so I can see a double coming or see a cutter and exploit a defender who’s not paying attention.
If I angle into her, I make her decide where she wants to play me. If I get that contact with her and I feel she’s too far underneath, then I know I want to come up top and angle myself back down by the goal. That contact is all about making the defender decide how she’s going to play you. You can take advantage of that more than if she’s playing you square.

You don’t want your feet to ever be going in one direction. It’s all about attacking different angles. You never want to make one straight path. Make the defender engage with you.
