@m777ax: Shooting Drill – Controlled Defensive Pressure at Avondale FC by Jonatan Germano and Shane Rexhepi In this variation we use the mannequins as positional references and add a coach alongside one of them, acting as a passive defender The objective is not full opposition, but guided resistance. The coach applies around 50% pressure — enough to: • Force correct body orientation • Demand quicker decision-making • Encourage sharper first touch • Simulate game-like timing But without breaking the rhythm or reducing repetition volume. This allows players to: ✔️ Recognize pressure cues ✔️ Adjust finishing angles ✔️ Protect the ball under light contact ✔️ Maintain flow and intensity A simple tweak — but it bridges the gap between isolated pattern work and realistic finishing under pressure. Train the picture, not just the shot
