Deadline copy has no time for the keyboard to be the slow part. Practise headlines, ledes, quotes and the punctuation of reported speech.
General typing tutors drill prose. Journalists and writers type quotation marks, attributions, names and numbers under a clock, and the punctuation of reported speech is exactly where a prose tutor says nothing. Practising it builds the muscle memory that lets the copy keep up with the thought. The coach watches which keys and sequences cost you the most, then generates fresh practice on news copy, headlines and interview quotes aimed at exactly those.
