First runner must charge decisively to block the initial shot, not just close the angle. The next defenders cover the rebounds, and the post men are rooted—never leave the line early. Most think it’s about the flick’s speed, but it’s really about controlling the chaos of the second ball. I know because for ten seasons with Punjab Armed Police, our drills were all about that first runner's courage; hesitate for a moment, and the goal is already lost.
