Cali could improve on her first touch. This topic also goes along with being calm and not playing panicked. First touch is very important and can help a player feel much more in control. The difference i how you feel about a given play can not be overstated enough, if you compare a play with a poor first touch to a play with a good first touch. Cali has the ability to really improve in this segment of the game.

When you are an attacking player you need to be able to hit the ball with speed and power. We have been working on striking the ball with our left and right foot. Imphasising the need for laykin to lock her ankle when she shoots an to use the correct form to generate power.

The faster you can do things the better. Laykin has the ability to process things quickly so she should utilize this to her advantage. Her quicness is on of her strenghts. Good defenders do not give you time to handle the ball, they are on you right away.
