yeah, our faceoff guy is a drummer.
wrist speed is crucial, getting a good jump off the whistle(not timing it..but reaction time after it) is crucial also.
practice clamping your stick with your eyes closed when a friend is just blowing a whistle or something.
and one last drill i saw Duke Lacrosse do (obviously not last season) when i went to the Duke/UNC game they put a ball down(like all of their faceoff guys) and when the coach blew a whistle they picked upthe stick, over the ball..tapped the ground and put it back to where they started. i guess it helps hand/wrist speed/cordination.
