Sidestep PracticeKnow and understand you need sidestep practice. Anywhere, anytime - it doesn`t need to be formal. Just do loads and enjoy it!You want to improve your sidestepsLike any skill, you learn how, then practice. There are no shortcuts.How quickly you progress depends on your experience and how you practice. Similar Experience helpsIf you're a gymnast, a skate boarder, a basketball player...Everything you do requires skill. Skills in similar activities may help you pick up and progress. Other experience may also helpOther skills may be more important than you think,Vision is very important for sidestepping, so is putting on a good show. It just might be that other interests like bird-watching or acting might help you to be one of the best sidesteppers around! Because players are constantly moving, sidestepping is not about being able to remember where everyone is. It's more about being able to process huge amounts of information, keeping track of other players. The more time you spend on that kind of activity, the better you will be. Practice is really importantLearn because you can see it works and you feel excited.That way, you'll want to practice - I couldn't stop. The number of lamposts I left for dead! - and bollards, telegraph poles, imaginary players, shoppers...you name it! You don't have to be on a rugby field. You can have sidestep practice anywhere! Be your own coach. Look at what you did. Did it work? How can I do it better? Practice is not good enough by itself You must improve. Aim to make every sidestep practice perfect, then you'll be confident. And rightly so, because you'll do it perfectly when it counts! When you know how and practice, with some thought you'll be able to use it in games. You'll begin to stand out and affect results. More practice is really really important!If you want to be the best, you have to be prepared (or happy!) to practice more than anyone else.You don't even need objects to sidestep around. Run around and just imagine a tackler and avoid them. You can even do rugby sidestep practice completely in your imagination. Yes, imagine the tackler and imagine the sidestep and you may well improve! Do it often. See yourself beating player after player, just as goal kickers visualise the ball going over the cross-bar and between the posts. Remember - nobody is born with a sidestep. Find out how to do it, practice enough and you could be the next sidestep star! Practice enough and it becomes instinctive. Only then, in the moment, without even thinking about it, you'll truly know when to sidestep! Return from Sidestep Practice to Rugby Sidesteps
