Get your defender off balance

Jesse Hubbard: Rocker Step

Defenders will often lean into their opponents and apply constant pressure to their shoulders or backs as they try to push them away from the goal. If a defender is doing this to you, try to get him off balance so you can run by him. To get your defender off balance as he leans on you, lean your body back into his before quickly stepping backwards or to the side. This should make him stumble and you can run by him.
