Drill Number 1-
What you need:
A friend
A flat wall and flat surface
15 yards from the wall to your friend, and 5 yards from the beginning to the end of the wall.
What you do- Have your friend stand behind you, and the throw the ball at the wall. Once the balls hits wall, you react and try to make a save. Do not react until the ball hits the wall, cheating will only hinder your progress. Have your friend take shots from different areas (3 yards, 8 yards, 15 yards)
Why you should this- Will help you get over your fear of the ball coming at you, will also help you with your saves, and forces you to follow the ball, not the stick.

9 pieces of paper with a number 1-9 on each one.
A friend
A wall around your height (must be atleast your height

789
What you do- Face the wall in an athletic stance, have your friend yell out each number like it were a shot, then step to it like it were a shot, and hit the number with your hand.
Why you should do this- It will increase your hand-eye coordination (sp).
