Soccer IQ Explained
In order to become smarter soccer players, it is important to develop an understanding of the game. Soccer IQ includes being able to figure out what formation the other team is playing, knowing where another team wants to go with the ball, understanding where other players on the team are and why they are there, and much more. One way to improve Soccer IQ is by watching and analyzing high-level soccer games. Below you will find videos that help to explain this program and the results we are looking for.
How Soccer IQ Improves On Field Performance
When a team has a high Soccer IQ, defending becomes easier and attacking becomes more dynamic. Understanding what formation the other team is in and the style they are playing makes them much easier to defend. While coaches can convey this information on the sidelines and at half time, players can take control of the game much earlier if they figure this out during the run of play. Defensively, if you know what the other team is looking to do, you can prevent it from developing instead of reacting to it as it's happening. Offensively, Soccer IQ is more than just seeing pockets of space and losing your defender. Instead of reacting to the runs your teammates are making and trying to catch up with the ball, a high Soccer IQ allows you to recognize what your teammate wants to do with the ball and stay involved in the play. Developing your Soccer IQ makes the game much simpler to play.
