1. Catch ball without loosing any speed.
Do this by jumping, keeping the outside line with your feet and hips, only turning your shoulders and head inwards.
Note: if you don't do this, if you don't jump, you'll loose speed and get absolutely mauled by 5 really big guys.

5. Step off your right.
Note: you need incredible strength in your leg and ankle to do this and your body weight needs to be perfectly balanced, without compromising the previous 'sell'.
