It
is important to add a variety sensory input to footwork drills. Your
game performance is a series of physical reactions to stimuli - where
the ball is going, where defenders are coming from - you move
accordingly. You want the ability to rapidly process multiple forms of
information while the play going on - while still moving quickly. All
of it happens in a split second. Wouldn't you love to slow
down everything around you? You can by speeding up
your brain's stimulus response time. Certain drills will help
you to slow down time as you speed up your brain.
To
develop this skill, try juggling up to 3 balls
while
doing foot patterns on an agility ladder. Your peripheral vision and
reaction to your surroundings will heighten as you get better.

| Continued from above... Another
variation is to do footwork drill on the agility
ladder while
dribbling one or two basketballs. This can help you
react while your mind concentrates on other stimuli.
Finally, a Reaction
Ball can enhance your reactive ability and help you make
quick
decisions. A great exercise for goalies and defense in general is
to toss the reaction ball high in the air, and when the reaction ball
hits, try to jump in the same direction as the Reaction Ball. You
can start by jumping left and right only, and later try 360
degrees. Try to jump as soon as the Reaction Ball hits the ground.
Many competitive
matches are decided by a single point... and faster reaction can
lead you to victory.
