⚽ Football IQ Awareness: Off-Ball Movement
Most players judge performance by what they do when they have the ball.
Smart players understand the game is often decided by what happens when you DON’T have it.
Off-ball movement is one of the biggest signs of real football awareness.
When you move correctly without the ball, you help your team by:
✔ Creating passing angles
✔ Pulling defenders out of position
✔ Opening space for teammates
✔ Supporting attacks before they even start
✔ Staying connected to your team shape
Many players stand and watch after passing. High IQ players move immediately to give a new option or create space for someone else.

1️⃣ Stay and watch play
2️⃣ Move to support the ball
3️⃣ Make a forward run
4️⃣ Move to create space for teammates
