Another winger drill focused on breaking the rhythm. 🧪 We throw a jersey right before the shot to disrupt balance and minimize reaction time. In a real game, wingers rarely have perfect conditions or time to plan everything. Something is always happening—defender pressure, position changes, fatigue. I want to prepare them for that chaos.
