We have a very promising centre mid.
She's strong, she reads the game well, but her passes are often over hit.
She's seeing the passes and the idea behind them is good, but she often over cooks them.
It's Ike she's trying too hard.
How can I help her to place the right weight on her passes?

Thanks, Dario,
I'll use and build on that idea.
What I could do progress it, is add three players as targets instead of goals. And like in your example, each player has a number that I call.
And to progress further instead of the players being static, they can do check towards and away movements from the passing player, who then has to execute the right weighted pass to the number I call.
A further progression is adding a goal for the receiving players to attack and score into, and have the passing player providing support from behind for reverse passes, which she then has to make a correctly weighted return pass to any of the three attackers.
I could then add a player to place the passing player under a bit of pressure (allowing success to start with) when receiving the starting pass.
Hmm, I'll think it through, but these are my initial thoughts based on your feedback, so a big thank you to you mate.
PS: These are open-age, female players.
