hey once again its me, i can compete with the highest level of play currently available to me, i was wondering if there are any drills to improve ur vision i anticipate very well but i often miss things that are happening out of the corner of my eye, i do look up often at my opposition and team mates, but i could be far more unpredictable if i'm taking on a player and out of the corner of my eye see a player open and pass it him, but my problem is i don't recongnize these people, so is there any sort of drill to help improve this? |
Developing your field vision is a process that happens in time as you become more experienced and skilled. To speed up the process you may try and play at different positions in order to enhance your tactical understanding and become more rounded as a player.
Field vision is dependent upon three main factors:
Skills
The better your technical skills are, the more you can concentrate on what is going on around you. This is especially true for dribbling and ball control. Think about it, if you can settle the ball with one easy touch, you’ll have more time to scan the field. When dribbling into space, you should also be able to have your head up without losing control of the ball.
Knowing your teammates
Communication plays a big part in this department. The better you know/interact with your teammates, the easier it will be to track them on the field without even lifting your head up. If share the ball evenly with your teammates you will usually get more passing options. The more passing options you have available, the more unpredictable you will be.
Tactical understanding
View the game in terms of movement. Locate and predict areas on the field where enemies are coming from or going into. Having a good grasp on what is happening around you will let you be more selective. By more selective, I mean that you will know when and where to look for passing lanes.
If you have your back to the enemy goal, always peek back before receiving the ball. When you’re in the middle of the field and someone passes you the ball from one of the flanks, seek support to the opposite side. When dribbling across the width of the field, look for passing lanes in direction of the enemy goal. If you get closed down when you have the ball near the sideline, look for the back pass.
P.S.
Sorry you didn’t make your last tryout. Stay dedicated to the game and good things will start happening. Please let me know of your future development. by Expert 18:12:10 Friday 16 July 2004 |
