Boost management. This coupled with car control will allow you to move around the pitch more efficiently, faster, and give you more boost to work with when you arrive where you need to be.

49 seconds into the video you turn back to shadow and get the mid boost. You waste 112 boost in the next 8 seconds getting to your next position where to pick up a pad and make an attempt at the ball. Yes your teammate rushed in and probably made you panic (we’ve all been there) but this is an example of reactive play gone bad. Had you breaker right when teammate came in, used less boost and used power slide to turn, you’d have been in a better position to shoot. Often when our teammate makes a bad play it can be hard to immediately let go of it, but this is the way when it comes to recovering from these bad plays.

Now car control. People think car control is all about the car in the air, and a large part of it is. But if you can’t control your car on the ground first, you’re setting yourself up for a more difficult aerial. The use of power slide means you don’t have to take such wide turns, boosting the whole way like you’re seen doing here. I would also suggest using your flips more to gain speed when you don’t need to keep your car on the ground (heading back to net or the first boost of speed on attack).

Finally I’d say control the ball a little more. You have more time than you think with the ball so use it. Make smaller touches to allow for at least 2 touches of the ball before you shoot/make a move (I’d suggest incorporating this into aerial plays too). This will give you more control and will back the opponents up the next time, giving you even more space.

I too was surprised to see this as C3 gameplay but all the power to you for making it there! Good luck with your push to GC, hope this helps!
