Description
Train the counter when the first move is read.
The constraint
Coach calls 'on' if defender takes first move — offense must counter. Live closeout.
CLA principle
Perception-action: read defender response → choose counter.
Coaching points
- Stay low through the counter.
- Counter must be a different direction.
Common mistakes
- Pre-decided counter regardless of read.
