Sets/Reps/Rest: 3x5 reps, 1 minute
Adaptation for Goalies: Face forward entire time, and run laterally back to each cone // Dive at corner cones rather than lie on your back
Coaching Points: Keep hips low // Don’t lock out your knees // Make sharp, quick cuts when sprinting back to middle // When taking your drop step, focus on the ground to simulate the ball coming towards you // Do not hop for height // Sprint the entire time
