To execute the chest trap, first move into the ball’s path early and, as explained, come and meet the ball. Lean backward from the waist as you collect the ball against your chest. Extend your arms for balance, and remain on the balls of your feet as the ball travels down your body to the ground at your feet. Make your chest and stomach move inward, in a concave fashion, to help the ball travel down your body to the ground. Keep your dominant foot between the ball and the opponent.
