Developing Soccer Intelligence Part II: Theory & Methods (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781545449295)

Today's modern soccer player must be able to make ultra-fast intelligent decisions under pressure, while possessing the ability to successfully execute on those decisions with high-level technical skill. Top players are able to sort through, instantly organize and chunk essential information together, while discarding all non-essential information. The high-level player rarely gets stuck in the decision making process, while the lower level player will frequently get stuck. Often the lower level player will fail because somewhere in the decision making process, they fail to process data quickly enough, focus on the wrong cues or they simply do not have the technique to execute the required skill, even if they made the right decision. It is no coincidence that top-level players possess higher intelligence levels and are better problem solvers on and off the field then lower-level players. Today's scientific data is making a convincing case that becoming a high level elite athlete has far more to do with your brain than your body. "Developing Soccer Intelligence" Part I & II, delve into the science and theory behind the development of soccer intelligence. These books are intended to provide unique insight into the development of the soccer brain, increasing the potential for maximizing performance. Coaches who understand the science behind game intelligence, will be better equipped to provide their players with more meaningful experiences in training. This is not your typical soccer book, if you are looking for purely a drill book, this will not be for you. If you have read my cognitive modules already, much of this material will have been covered.
