Back-Heel Flick
The Zlatan
You step past the ball and flick it behind you with your heel. It looks like you have made a mistake, right up until it works.
Study holds every step and names it. Flow runs them together at speed. Space bar plays and pauses; arrow keys step one frame.

The five pictures from the book
Ball rolling with you, a friend running behind you.
Practise it — Heel to a friend
15 back-heels to someone running behind.
Coach says
Step over it first. Then the heel has room.
Watch out
- Not stepping past, so your heel cannot reach.
- Looking behind you and telling everyone.
