Great drill! If I follow correctly, the defender picks which side to attack the player with the puck, by going high/low (or left/right) on the blue pad?
Thanks for sharing—going to try this drill this week.
@BrandonRubeo that is correct. The player reads the stick and go the opposite way. The purpose is to read the defender while keeping your back against them and then attack the space thats given.
This is a part of my new concept, Read & Act, which focuses on developing decision-making skills, process information quickly and enhancing their cognitive ability to act on information under pressure.
