there seems to be a tendency for your hands to want to do things in sync. Are there drills and such for piano players that help them ?

Of course.
If you play a lot of easy Bach (like Anna Magdalena's Notebook), then you will definitely learn how to control your hands better. Czerny's 100 Etudes for beginners (Op. 599, I think) is also wonderful for training your hands. Many pianists use that as their first book.
If you want to increase flexibility, endurance, and strength, just play Hanon. For a beginner, you can play them slowly (but carefully!) and increase speed as you improve. I recommend getting a metronome and then setting it to 100 bpm, then playing your scales or Hanon at 1 note/beat, then 2 notes/beat, 3, etc.
Scales and arpeggios always help. My teacher always tried to get me to practice, but I'd slack off and now I have problems with fast arpeggios.

Doing scales really helped me. Now, the left hand doesn't even know what the right hand is doing. LOL

I took lessons for 7 years. You can do scales that always helps and repetition.
