Which...is kind of funny.
Athletes require confidence, which is why there are a multitude of things that they do. For instance, when I was a soccer coach? The keeper needs to warm up and be ready which is why either I or one of my assistants work with him.
Why?
Because the shooters need to 'build their feel' and want to score, but if you're blasting a dozen shots past your keeper in warm-up it kills his confidence whereas if they blast none past him it kills the shooters' confidence.
So one assistant plays 'goalie' and lets the shooters shoot and score because he doesnt need to stop the shots and another or myself plays 'shooter' just to warm up the goalie's hands and reflexes because I have no need to put the ball past him.
Everyone gets what they need.
