My philosophy has always been that when teaching players technical skills it's best to show them a clean example of the drill in action, such as the cross-over or figure of eight dribbling, before letting them loose to try it themselves. However, when coaching explosive, games related moves and situations in my opinion it's best to just let your players learn through trial and error.
This session has been designed with exactly that in mind. Through a series of one vs one drills your players will learn what works and what doesn't when trying to get round the last man in defence. By encouraging them to try a combination of speed, feints and skills you will be able to guide your players into becoming a defender's worse nightmare - a confident player who doesn't flinch when faced with a one vs one situation.
