Stick & Ball Control and Positioning 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 Shooting.
Delaney is doing well with reverse stick, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Delaney has moved Shooting from Consistent into Competitive. A goal threat from anywhere in the circle. Shot variety forces the goalkeeper to react. Penalty corners are a weapon.

Delaney's Skill Build: Shooting
Your drill this week: Drag Flick Technique
Introduce the drag flick technique as a shooting option from penalty corner situations.
Pick the cue that tells you when to go. Say it quietly before the rep starts.
The drag flick is a specialized shot that is highly effective from penalty corners.
Study the drag flick motion: ball drag forward, low approach, flicking action through the wrist.
Drag the ball forward before you flick
Success is your drag flick going cleanly off the ground and on frame, lifted, accurate, and low enough to be useful.
Add a goalkeeper; drag flick from penalty corner injection spot.
