I have a scrimmage with my team and maybe another, any tips for scanning, I play on the wing

Hi, my name is Dylan, I play in America and hope to play D1 soccer one day.

Hey everyone, I’m back after about 3 weeks away. Thanks to everyone who checked in and asked about new lessons and updates. I really appreciate it. During the next weeks we are going to restart the Football IQ training with more structure. Here is what is coming: • New Football IQ lessons• Weekly quizzes to test your football intelligence• Decision-making challenges from real match situations• The first Football IQ exam for members The goal is simple:Train your brain, not just your legs. Before we start the next lesson, I want to ask you something. Question for everyone: What do you think is the most important Football IQ skill? 1. Scanning before receiving 2. Positioning and movement 3. Decision speed 4. Reading the game Comment your answer below. Tomorrow I will post the first new quiz. Let’s wake this community up again.

🧠 What This Picture Is Teaching (Smart Positioning) This diagram shows how a smart player positions himself to gain time, space, and better options. 🔴 Red circles = Defenders ⚪ White circles = Teammates (your team) 🎯 Key Ideas in the Picture 1️⃣ Intelligent Positioning (Center player) The highlighted white player is not standing randomly. He is: Slightly away from defenders Positioned to see multiple options Ready to receive on the half-turn 👉 Smart players move before the pass, not after. 2️⃣ Scanning → Time & Angle (Right side) The arrows show that when the player scans early: He knows where space is He receives the ball at the correct angle He can play forward, not sideways or backward 👉 Position + scan = more time on the ball. 3️⃣ Tactical Triangles (Bottom right) The triangle shows support angles: One option short One option wide One option forward 👉 Good positioning always creates at least 2 passing options. If you have only 1 option → you are easy to press. 4️⃣ Space Is Created, Not Found The diagram shows space opening because of movement, not luck. Smart players: Move between lines Adjust 2–3 steps Stay visible to the ball carrier 🧠 Simple Rule From This Picture Don’t stand where the ball is. Stand where the next action will be.

From the football IQ classroom I did all the scanning thinking ect. And I did way better in training and in the scrimmage I did not lose the ball
