Read before moving.

Why it matters

Decision time matters as much as foot speed.

What you need

Coach has left/right color cards or hand signals.

How to do the drill

Start athletic, react to color, take two steps in correct direction, then return to start.

ONE CUE TO REMEMBER“See it, then move.”

Today's skill-game challenge

Choose correct direction 8 of 10 trials.

One common mistake

Guessing before signal appears.

Coach it positively: notice effort, a good decision and controlled movement—not just the final result.
