Counter-Attacking Out of a Low Block

Counter-Attacking Out of a Low Block

Discipline 7: Tactical Systems — Lesson 6 of 12
Lecturer: Imogen Vance

Hesitate for a second and the counter is already gone. This session covers committing numbers forward instantly, playing the first pass forward rather than sideways, and keeping width in the counter.

The three rules

1. Commit forward instantly.
2. Play forward, not sideways.
3. Keep width in the counter.

*The full breakdown — citations, the lecturer's own story, and the discipline's quiz bank — is part of the Spy Academy programme.*
