Hi Nikhil,

For a turnover drill, I recommend the "Fast Break from a Turnover" drill. This exercise focuses on moving the ball from your own D to the opposition baseline in two passes and scoring a goal from the turnover in three passes. It's designed to improve quick transition and capitalize on turnover opportunities.

Here's the link to the drill for more details: 1 Fast Break from a Turnover.

Best, Cam
