The player is now beginning his recovery to a neutral ready position.

Points to look for:

  • The hips, waist and shoulders have begun to turn to the left as part of the recovery.
  • The player has straightened out of his crouch, and is moving a little to his right, as show by the movement of his left leg.
  • A little forward lean is maintained to aid in keeping good balance.
