Most players think awareness means “scan before you get the ball.” That’s only 50% of it. Real awareness is what you do when you DON’T have the ball. Smart players: - Move to create space - Check shoulders before runs - Adjust position based on teammate pressure - Create passing angles - Pull defenders out of position Off-ball movement shows your football IQ more than dribbling ever will. Today’s challenge 👇Next time you watch a match, don’t follow the ball. Follow ONE player without the ball for 5 minutes. Ask yourself: - Why did he move there? - What space is he attacking? - Who is he creating space for? - Is he reacting or anticipating? Comment below what you notice. Let’s train the brain 🧠⚽

Most players think mistakes come from bad touches. They don’t. Mistakes happen when thinking starts after the ball arrives. Before you receive the ball, you should already be reading the picture: Where is the pressure? Where is the space? Your first touch doesn’t decide, it confirms. You may change your option if the picture changes. That’s not a mistake. That’s intelligence. Football IQ = thinking before the touch. That’s why calm players look slow… but always play on time. 📝 QUESTION (COMMENT) Before you receive the ball, do you scan and read the picture, or wait to see after the touch? Be honest.
