Stick Skills and Ground Balls & Transition are already showing up as meaningful strengths in live field situations, and those strengths are beginning to raise the quality of every rep. The next jump is Defense.
Emma is doing well with catching, and that strength is starting to show up in more live reps. The goal is to keep making it reliable when the pace rises.
Emma has moved Defense from Consistent into Competitive. Defense measures how well the athlete protects space, stays disciplined, and disrupts the opponent without losing shape.

Emma's Skill Build: Defense
Your drill this week: Force and Contain
Force an attacker to one side and contain them from getting to the goal in a 1v1 defensive drill.
Pick the cue that tells you when to go. Say it quietly before the rep starts.
Forcing and containing is the primary defensive objective in player-to-player defense.
Set up a lane 6 yards wide toward a cone goal.
Step toward the strong side to force them weak
Success is keeping the attacker from the crease and forcing them wide on at least 4 out of 5 reps, you directed the play, they didn't direct you.
Attacker can switch directions at any time; defender must react and reestablish force.
