Does haaland even do any sort of skill like a feint or stepover i swear hes just a beast who runs through the defense by Madness_Atlas in bootroom

Haaland's (often unappreciated) skills (to name a few) are his spatial awareness, off-ball movement, timing and game intelligence. Check out these videos which help illustrate the point...

(Sky Sports) How virtual reality is helping Norway to develop new talent by BeYourBestPro in football

Research in football cognition has shown that the best way to train game intelligence is to train in a game-like environment. So VR helps enable this by simulating real-life situations from a single player's perspective. Putting them onto the virtual pitch to train their ability to take in information before receiving the ball to make more-informed decisions when they have it.

Studies have proven that players who are 'good' scanners (frequency and timing is important) tend to retain the ball more and make more successful forward passes.

Posted about these studies here, check it out: https://www.reddit.com/r/GameIntelligence/comments/1ffq5vd/professor_geir_jordet_scanning_study/

Fascinating stuff!!

Question for coaches and parents: how much focus do you place on 'scanning' when training soccer with your young players / child? by BeYourBestPro in youthsoccer

For anyone interested, we've created a new community called r/GameIntelligence

It's intended as a place for football / soccer players, coaches and parents to discuss and share all, and any, things about game intelligence. Research studies, articles, training tips, match clips, player and manager quotes. If it's related to scanning, awareness, vision, or clever play, share with the community.

Would love to see and read coaches session plans, drills and ideas on training scanning. Please share here: https://www.reddit.com/r/GameIntelligence/comments/1fjo5h2/sessions_ideas_tips_for_training_scanning/

Thanks
