Building a championship football team

4. Hook.

5. Hook and go.

Run (immediately after faking to receive the ball):

1. Run under control and relaxed.

2. By running three-fourths speed, the receiver is able to adjust to poorly thrown balls.

3. Keep the arm action parallel to the leg action, until ready to catch the ball.

4. While running, turn only the neck and head. If the body is turned at the waist, the receiver will be slowed down considerably.

Catching the Ball:

1. Relax completely as the ball comes toward the receiver. Relax particularly the fingers.

2. Follow the ball with the eyes all the way into the hands.
