3 WAYS TO IMPROVE YOUR FH ABILITIES
In the off-season, there are lots of ways you can work to improve your FH skills & abilities. You should be working on all three areas presented below. 1) Running & Stamina, 2) Strength Training & 3) Ball/Stick Skills. If you are truly motivated to up your FH game, we have also provided TWO BONUS categories below: 4) Drives, Powerful Push Passes, Reverse Hits and Aerials/Flicks/Overheads and 5) Agility. All of the stick skills and hits can be worked on daily. Try to set a specific time each day to complete these tasks.

Priority 3: Ball and Stick Skills
Ball and stick control. Watch these three videos. Try to do this drills for 5-10min at least 3x per week. Improvise cones:
Air dribble. Try to increase your number of taps. Try to self start your air dribbles. As you get better, vary the height of the taps and tap on edges of stick as well as flat side.
Yard stick pulls. With feet shoulder width apart and standing in athletic stance with knees bent. Work on pulling ball from left foot to right foot. Work to get this as fast and controlled as you can.
