Obj: The mechanics of deception — weight shift, eye direction, and tempo lies that move defenders. Field: 15×10yd channels. Equip: Balls, cones, bibs. Org: Block 1 "the science" (6 min): partner holds a bib wide; attacker's feint must make the bib-hand drop/shift (the defender's weight visualized) before beating the opposite side — instant physical feedback. Block 2 "the lab" (8 min): live 1v1s where a goal only counts if the defender visibly bit on a feint first (queue judges, loudly). CP: (1) Lie with the whole body — plant foot, shoulders, eyes together; (2) feint slow, exit fast (tempo is the lie's second half); (3) watch his feet — beat the foot that's loaded. Prog: Double feints; feint into the A-10 cycle's named moves. Reg: Shadow feints vs. cone with coach narrating weight shift. Mist: P: feinting at sprint speed (no time for the defender to bite); C: teaching moves without teaching why they work — the bib feedback is the point. Time: 14 min. Out: Players explain and exploit weight shift; bite-rate on feints climbs. Var: Film pairing — watch 3 clips of elite feints, name the lie (Wk 24 tie-in). Diag: Attacker vs. defender with weight-shift arrows at defender's feet, feint direction vs. true exit path split.
