I was asked last week how MOTI can help me understand the game of soccer when I watch broadcast games on TV.
Go to the MOTI Sports Activities and look for the simplest ball movement like ‘passing in pairs’ and you will witness two players facing each other delivering a ball back and forth. This setup and format are the backbone of the game of soccer and deserve your observation as a key element to building one’s understanding of soccer excellence.
The next progression is to see the inclusion of a third player, then the fourth. With this spectator directive, your observations can now turn to the flow and effectiveness of possession and sequences of passes to move forward against the opposition. Possessions by a team will settle the game’s momentum on how a team is set up to take advantage of a perceived weak point and exploit that weakness.
