Step 1: Hold the ball in shooting position

• Keep your elbow high, wrist towards target, and body balanced.

Step 2: Move elbow + shoulder+shoulder of non shooting arm together

• Don’t fake with just your elbow or just your shoulder.

• Both need to move at the same time so the motion looks powerful and real.

Step 3: Don't pass your “headline”

• Imagine a vertical line that runs down the center of your body.

• Never move the ball past that line — if you do, the defender can steal it.

Step 4: Match the fake to your real shot

• The fake should look almost identical to your shooting motion.

• This is what tricks the goalie into reacting early.

Step 5: Use variety

• There isn’t just one type of fake. Different players have different shots, so their fakes will look different too.

• But the general rule is always: combine elbow + shoulder, stay safe with the ball, and make it look like a shot.
