- Equipment
- Football
Sitting on the ground, legs straight, while the passer throws from five meters at varying heights. You can’t compensate with your legs or back up: every badly caught ball is a hand error, and it shows right away.
Key points
- Keep your upper body straight; don't lean back to buy time.
- Your hands should reach for the ball in front of you, not above your stomach.
- Three sets of twenty-five seconds each, performed continuously.
Common mistakes
- Leaning back on your hands between balls.
- A thrower who always aims for the chest, which makes the exercise pointless.
