love this drill
Excellent drill, I really like this one.Makes the goalie disciplined on staying on his feet before reacting and deciding the way he is going to make the save.
I do have one question though. Where are the goalies eyes when he starts the drill in the top middleof his crease?
Used it today Alberto!
We did it eyes on coach since this is being done as if there were a pass – though as the article notes, no pass so the shot comes almost immediately.
