๐Ÿง  LESSON 2: Decision-Making Essentials
Big idea:
Good players react.
Smart players decide early.
Decision-making is not speed โ€” itโ€™s clarity before the ball arrives.
๐Ÿ”‘ Lesson Focus
Teach players how to choose the best action, not just any action.
๐Ÿ”„ The 3-Step Decision Process (use this with the image)
1๏ธโƒฃ Identify
What do I see?
Closest defender
Free space
Teammate positions
๐Ÿ‘‰ This starts before receiving the ball
2๏ธโƒฃ Decide
What is my best option?
Pass
Turn
Dribble
Protect the ball
๐Ÿ‘‰ Decision must be made early, not after control
3๏ธโƒฃ Execute
Play fast & calm
One or two touches
Correct weight and direction
No panic
๐Ÿ‘‰ Execution becomes easy when the decision is clear
๐Ÿ“ Key Coaching Line
โ€œThe best decision is usually the simplest one โ€” if you see it early.โ€
๐ŸŽฏ Mini Task (Homework)
Next training or match:
Pause before receiving
Decide your action before the ball arrives
Rate yourself after:
Early decision โœ…
Late decision โŒ
