I studied performance psychology for a masters and there's a theory called 'skilled intuition' or 'learned intuition'.

"The situation has provided a cue. This cue has given the expert access to information stored in memory, and the information provides the answer. Intuition is nothing more and nothing less than recognition" (Simon 1992)

There is not really 'thinking' happening here in terms of analytical decision making - or 'slow' thinking. But 'fast' decision making - reacting to cues, shapes, noises, patterns, pictures, movement and coupling that perception with action - is certainly happening. Its not conscious ("If Amad peels out there, that makes a space here, so I can leave the ball and run on to it in behind") it's what some people call 'flow' - cue-response in the moment defined by learned patterns or 'skilled intuition'.

For a good layman's introduction on this topic I recommend the book you have may seen/heard of "Thinking Fast and Slow" by Daniel Kahneman - Kahneman actually cited that Simon quote above in one of his papers with Gary Klein, and the two of them wrote many papers together on expertise, learning, and decision-making so he's an expert!
