Positioning and Shooting are already showing up as meaningful strengths in live attacking and transition sequences, and those strengths are beginning to raise the quality of every rep. The next jump is Stick & Ball Control.
Kaia is doing well with positioning, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Kaia needs to keep developing stick & ball control so this part of the game becomes more consistent under pressure. The next step is cleaner reps that hold up at game speed.

Kaia's Skill Build: Stick & Ball Control
Your drill this week: Elite Dribble Combination
Demonstrate elite-level stick and ball control by executing a combination of Indian dribble, reverse stick, and 3D lift in a continuous sequence against a live defender.
Choosing the harder side when it's optional builds a tougher, more confident mindset — embrace the discomfort.
Elite stick and ball control is demonstrated in combination, not isolation.
Dribble toward a defender in a 15-yard channel.
Change of technique is as important as change of direction
You're doing it right when all three moves, Indian dribble, reverse stick, and 3D lift, connect in one clean run without stopping.
Two defenders in sequence; must beat both with combination dribbling.
Each skill gets a 1-10 rating that maps to a milestone, helping track skill development and player growth over time.
Milestones show progress in a specific skill. Players usually move through milestones with age, practice, and better game understanding.
Stages describe the player's broader development level. They are based on the overall rating, which averages the skill ratings in the report.
A player can be at different milestones in different skills while still having one overall stage for the report. The value is seeing what changed from one evaluation to the next.
The player is building the base. Coaches are looking for understanding, effort, and cleaner reps before expecting the skill to show up consistently in games.

Elite push passer. Speed and accuracy in tight space. Creates chances others can't.
Exceptional range and accuracy. Opens games with a single pass.
ShootingStandout milestone8.35ratingStandout⌄FOUBUIDEVCAPCONCOMSTAELI
