The 2 second decision window
Most players don't have a decision-making problem. They have a timing problem. The decision they need to make? They're capable of it. They've made it a hundred times in training. But by the time the ball arrives, it's already too late. The space has gone. The press has arrived. And what looked easy in training suddenly feels impossible in a game. It's not nerves. It's not ability. It's not effort. It's what's happening in the two seconds before the ball reaches them. There's a window. A brief moment while the ball is still travelling where everything is decided. Most young players waste it completely without even knowing it exists. In my latest video I break down exactly what happens inside that window, and what it looks like when a player learns to use it. I call it the Decision Window. Three stages. Entirely coachable. And once you know what to look for, you'll never watch your child receive the ball the same way. Get the pdf cheat sheet in the files attached
