Emily Ausmus breaks down 6-on-5 film to show how attackers read defenders’ blocking and post responsibilities, use dry passes and off-ball movement to engage the goalie and blockers, and create shooting lanes for teammates and themselves. She emphasizes scanning before receiving, using fakes to test reactions, staying elevated on the eggbeater as defenders use a brushstroke kick, and choosing quick, accurate shots when a lane opens. Athletes can practice these reads with partner passing, kick variations, fakes and rapid shooting reps.
