Colts habit

Work hard: little and often beats one long go.

Both feet

Do a round with the practice foot only.

Heads up

Look up between touches.

Safety: Pick a clear, flat space, look out for traffic and hazards, and stop if anything hurts. Soft ball indoors.

My best

Passes in a row before the middle touches it. Last time and this time. Only ever compared with your own earlier go, never with anyone else. Saved on this device only.
