Hey guys, my name's Anna Giannoni. I'm a former college field hockey player and a CoachUp
Coach.
And this is driving the ball.
Yeah, here you, uh, do the girl thing.
The importance of the drive is not only to score on net, but to advance your team down
the field.
Alright, so how you're gonna do this is you're gonna have your left hand at the end of your
stick and you're gonna have the right hand at the end of the grip. The ball's probably
gonna be closer to your body than you want it to so what you're gonna do is you're gonna
push the ball out so it's an arm and stick's length away and you're gonna step with your
left foot. When you step with your left foot, you're also gonna be bringing your stick back,
and your right hand's gonna be coming down to meet with your left. And then you're gonna
follow through, aim for the back of the ball, and when you follow through, you're gonna
be pointing where you want the ball to go.
