4. Versatility: Mastering stick skills at all angles makes players adaptable, ready to perform in any role or situation on the field.
5. Confidence and Fundamentals: Repetitive practice at varied angles builds muscle memory, corrects technique flaws, and boosts confidence in complex scenarios.
6. Game Simulation: These drills mimic real-game conditions, preparing players to handle the unexpected with poise and skill.
By practicing stick skills from every angle, players become more accurate, adaptable, and confident, better equipped to excel in competitive lacrosse.
