Reviewer: Former Grand Champion
Your biggest issue
You're overcommitting as second man.
What's happening. When the ball is near, you treat it as your job. In this match you took several challenges while your teammate was still recovering, which left the net empty.
Why it costs you games. In 2v2, two people below the ball is how 'should-win' games become losses. The other team does not need better mechanics. They need one open net.
What to do instead. Your default as second man: shadow until first man is clearly back in the play. If you are not sure they recovered, you are last. Play like it.
What you're already doing well
- Good patience in a few second-man moments
- Strong back-post instincts
- Decent shooting selection when you actually have space
- You already look for small pads on some rotations

Your top 3 priorities
#1
Stop challenging as second man when your teammate has not recovered
Why. This is the pattern that opened your net.
How. Say 'playing last' in chat. If you cannot see them land, do not go.
In-game reminder: Second man waits.
#2
Use small boost pads instead of abandoning the play
Why. Corner boost trips took you out of the rotation.
How. On the way back, vacuum pads. Corner only when you already have a last man.
In-game reminder: Pads on the path first.
#3
Control possession when you have space
Why. Panic first touches gave them free attacks.
How. If nobody is on you, catch or 180. Do not 50 a ball you already own.
In-game reminder: If it is yours, keep it.
What to work on
MECHANICS PRACTICE
10 minutes — recoveries and powerslide landings
Free play: aerial, land, powerslide toward net. Repeat until the landing is automatic.
CUSTOM TRAINING
10 minutes — basic shooting consistency
Any ground-shot pack. First touch, then shot. No flip resets. Clean contact only.
RANKED MATCH FOCUS
Do not challenge as second man unless your teammate has clearly recovered
One rule for the next five games. Ignore everything else.
Your next 5 games
Do not dive into challenges as second man.
Keep doing
Back-post defense and the moments you actually waited as second man.
Stop doing
Challenging because the ball is nearby while your teammate is still in the air.
Start doing
Shadowing and faking until you can see your teammate recover.
Your #1 focus
Second man does not challenge until first man is back.
Mechanics are not the main leak. Decision-making as second man is. Fix the overcommit and a lot of 'unlucky' goals stop happening.
