Written Task: If a teammate asked you how best to train hand-eye coordination, what advice would your player have for them? As before, your player does not need to be correct. Feel free to write absolute madness, flex your knowledge of real-world athletic training, or anywhere in between.

Growing up in Liverpool, Sean Davies was no stranger to life on the pitch and was quite a solid CB growing up. One drill he noticed his teammates in goal doing was a drill with 5 rows of 10 or so cones all unevenly space. A coach would launch a ball hard on the ground toward the cones, and the gk would have to make a save on the ball after it took a random deflection or two on the way through. Such unpredictability forces the gk to improve their reactions and hand-eye coordination to make a save. Davies would recommend something like this as a cross training exercise of sorts. You could maybe even adapt it to use pucks in a sort of hockey plinko machine. Of course, there's always the "Miracle" strategy of having a coach play wall ball with you. Heck the whole team could get in on that. It would be just like middle school recess all over again.
