How To: Do the stop turn soccer move

Keeping the soccer ball on your person may make you feel like a hotshot, but sometimes a marker will have you trailed so tightly you have to pass it to someone else.

Enter the stop turn, a valuable skill that opens up passing options and creates space for you to keep moving. The move is frequently used by Spanish striking sensation Fernando Torres.

To do: Push the ball in front of you, stop and step over it, then turn back in the direction you came from and race away.
