Soccer ball hip-bump wall drill

An at-home drill for keeping the hip up during the turn: place a soccer ball (or a rolled-up pillow) between your hip and a wall, bump your hip up against it, and hold it in there as you turn to the top. The coach notes that if the hip drops, the ball would slide down and wedge lower against the wall.
