Hi Ambani,

For a shorter player playing as Goal Shooter (GS) or Goal Attack (GA), focusing on technique and positioning can make a significant difference. Here are some tips:

  1. Positioning: Utilise quick footwork to get into optimal shooting positions. Being agile and using clever movement can help create space away from taller defenders.
  2. Shooting Technique: Focus on a high release point and a quick release to avoid being blocked. Practice shooting with a smooth, consistent motion to improve accuracy.
  3. Use of Angles: Move around the circle to find the best angle for shooting. This can also help in getting closer to the post, making it easier to score.
  4. Rebounding: Be ready to contest for rebounds. Quick reflexes and anticipation can help in regaining possession if the shot is missed.
  5. Play Smart: Use fakes and quick passes to confuse defenders and create opportunities for shots or assists.

For specific drills, you might find the "GS Give and Go" or "Pop Pass" drills useful to practice quick movements and shooting under pressure.

I hope this helps,

Cam
