What's up this week? This week our focus was target shooting. I (Ella) am not nearly as good at target shooting as Fuller Kate is, which makes sense because we play two different positions. Target shooting is a drill where one works on their aim when shooting the ball. This can be a very time-consuming and difficult skill to learn. Film process this week? This week we had a really hard time figuring out how to set up this competition and film it. We didn't have access to a goal (at least a goal that had a net) so there was a LOT of trial and error. First, we tried setting up cones on the field. A few cones were closer to where we were going to kick and a few were further away. The goal was to kick as many of the cones down as you could with only seven chances. Whoever had the most cones down would have one. We decided against this idea though because it felt more like a passing drill rather than a shooting drill. We then had the idea to stick cones in the fence that was beside the field. This was a great idea until we realized how hard it was to make the cones stay. We went through many ideas of how to accomplish our goal of creating a target shooting competition. We finally decided that we would stick one cone in the fence and the first to hit it would win the competition. This was still difficult because every time we missed the cone but hit the fence, the cone would fall but we eventually had a winner. What's the point of target shooting? This was a drill that was suggested by one of our soccer coaches because being an accurate shooter is one of the most important parts of soccer. It becomes very hard to score when you don't know how to aim very well, especially when going up against an experienced goalie. We hope you enjoy this week's video!

It really stands out that ya'll are able to make it work even when you run into problems. I like how with trial and error you guys ended up with a really creative idea to make this weeks drill work.
