Another advantage is how it helps develop first touches. The player receiving the ball needs to take a good first touch or risk losing possession of the ball. Ball control is crucial and will surely improve with this high-pressure situation of a possession based drill

One way they can do this is by closing down the passer quickly and pressing them into a mistake. This will requires speed, awareness, and stamina.
