GS/GA begin at goal post
Sprinting to cones and then back to post
Complete circuit on all cones then make your shot under fatigue
Fast footwork, small quick steps
Always have eyes up, upright body, low legs

Add more cones in at a further distance to add endurance
Always do drill under full intensity so that when you shoot it is under fatigue but not rushed, relax in your process of the shot
