Now Let's Actually Measure It
You just rated your own reaction time. This measures it. Five save locations, thirty reps, and it times you per corner, so you leave knowing the one spot that's costing you goals.
This sets your stick side so the corners are labeled the way you'd call them.
On a computer: click the lit corner with your mouse. On a phone or iPad: tap the lit number on your screen.
One corner lights at a time, at random intervals. Guessing early voids the rep.
You'll run five practice reps first. Plug your device in, close other tabs, and use the same device and the same input method when you retest. Screen lag shifts the number by 15 to 50ms, and that's enough to fake a result.
We've pinpointed your #1 Leak. Tell us where to send it and we'll email your detailed results: your leak diagnosis, the targeted fix, and your Mental Bounce-Back Card.

The Bounce-Back Card
1The Three Fs
Your post-goal sequence. Run it in order, every time, until it's automatic.
- Fix It
- Forget It
- Focus
Fix It: name one physical correction. Forget It: physical reset; tap the posts, breathe out. Focus: eyes up, call the defensive set, next ball.
2The Bucket System
To survive the mental load of the crease you need a disciplined way to manage the internal chaos. Every thought that enters your head goes into one of two buckets.
- Bad Bucket
- Good Bucket
Bad Bucket: when a negative or corrosive thought pops in, acknowledge that it exists and immediately drop it in. It's useless noise. Good Bucket: actively fuel this one with positive, reinforcing self-talk: "I have put in the work," "I made an incredible save earlier."
3The Goldfish Reset
Three-second memory, on purpose. Ball in the net → three seconds of breath and body → the last shot no longer exists. The next save is the only save still available to you.
- 3 sec
- Next ball
Your Reaction Profile
Spread between your fast and slow reps. Tighter is better than faster.
Right corner, inside 800ms.
Reps voided for moving before the light.
Your slowest corner is the one to train. At 30 reps this is directional, so run it again at your next baseline to lock it in.

Save this. Paste it in when you retest so we can score the change.

You Skipped The Reaction Lab
Thirty reps, about three minutes. It times you per corner and tells you which one is costing you goals.
