3. Perform a stepover behind the ball with the right foot.
4. Take the ball to the right.
5. Step on the ball with the right foot.
6. Step on the ball with the left foot in order to be in the correct position to take the ball with the left foot.
7. Take the ball with the left foot.
8. Perform a stepover behind the ball with the left foot.
9. Take the ball to the left.
10. Step on the ball with the left foot.
11. Step on the ball with the right foot in order to be in the correct position to take the ball with the right foot.
12. Step 2-11 is the same for the other direction.

Things to watch out for:

1. Feinting is important here.
2. Stand on the toes of the support foot while executing the stepover. This allows to turn on the support foot while turning the hips which adds to the feinting.
3. The little step to change the support foot between the stepover and taking the ball in the other direction should be executed very fast.
