Description & Time Stamps:

2. Add in the first step: Follow Taylor’s instructions but add in a first step on the whistle.  Coach your players to flick their wrist and step forward on each whistle.

Key Coaching Points:  

• Being able to have a quick first start will separate good and great draw takers.  Focus on the reaction time.

• Practice both:

  • Bottom hand turns like a motorcycle with loose grip with top hand
