  2. Alternate deep driven shots and short controlled shots.
  3. Only use a pancake as last resort; avoid diving into other athletes.
  4. Log each repetition according to this measure: Count balanced floor contacts completed without collision.
04 · Suggested training dose

21 minutes

12 balls in the starting series, with rest adjusted to quality and player level.

05 · Measured success criterion

Count balanced floor contacts completed without collision.

Record attempts, success and errors; do not infer progress from volume alone.

06 · Safety and adaptation

Clear all dive lanes, reduce delivery speed for beginners and prevent collisions.
