Which foot should you work on first?

• A. Dominant foot
• B. Left foot
• C. Non-dominant foot
• D. Right foot

Answer: (C)

Starting with the non-dominant foot builds control and precision when you’re fresh. The foot you’re less comfortable with tends to require more focus, so tackling it first lets you concentrate on proper placement, pressure, and balance without the fatigue that comes later. Once that side is mastered, you can finish with the dominant foot, where movements tend to be smoother and more confident because your body is warmed up and steadier. This order helps maintain technique and prevent sloppiness that can occur when you push through on the easier side after a long service. The other options only name which foot is stronger or simply specify left or right, but they don’t explain why starting with the less dominant side improves overall control.
