๐ง LESSON 2: Decision-Making Essentials
Big idea:
Good players react.
Smart players decide early.
Decision-making is not speed โ itโs clarity before the ball arrives.
๐ Lesson Focus
Teach players how to choose the best action, not just any action.
๐ The 3-Step Decision Process (use this with the image)
1๏ธโฃ Identify
What do I see?
Closest defender
Free space
Teammate positions
๐ This starts before receiving the ball
2๏ธโฃ Decide
What is my best option?
Pass
Turn
Dribble
Protect the ball
๐ Decision must be made early, not after control
3๏ธโฃ Execute
Play fast & calm
One or two touches
Correct weight and direction
No panic
๐ Execution becomes easy when the decision is clear
๐ Key Coaching Line
โThe best decision is usually the simplest one โ if you see it early.โ
๐ฏ Mini Task (Homework)
Next training or match:
Pause before receiving
Decide your action before the ball arrives
Rate yourself after:
Early decision โ
Late decision โ
๐ Short Caption for the Image (optional)
