Triangle
Three Touches
Three touches that move the ball in a triangle. It is the best drill for quick feet.
Study holds every step and names it. Flow runs them together at speed. Space bar plays and pauses; arrow keys step one frame.

The five pictures from the book
Ball in front. Both knees bent and ready.

The ball stays with you. This one is about touch, not travel.

Inside, inside, outside. Say it while you do it.
