It's a myth that Messi scans more than most... elite players. The difference is timing. It's flawless When the ball is touched or kicked, his eyes are fixed on it. But between touches / when the ball moves, he scans Anyone can look around. Looking at the right moment is the skillshow more

The difference between Kounde & Eric García is simple.... Kounde is reactive to the actions occurred whereas Eric is proactive & calculates possibilities by scanning around if any runs are made. It's not like Eric is faster or Kounde is slower It's just that Eric is faster in his mind & can predict the possibilities or pattern of attack & prepares himself. It's as simple as that u can't run faster than the ball, it's whether your mind can process & run faster or not. 💙❤️show more

People think it's a coincidence Messi has a record... of turnovers leading to goals in high-stake matches. No, it's a combination of his poor turnovers and his complete lack of work-rate. Notice how Ronaldo, when he loses the ball in a vital area, harasses the defender and recovers the ball? This is what makes the difference between UCL elimination and a trophy.show more

Golfers are strange 😂 When playing a Ryder Cup,... the crowd is going ballistic and the players love it and hit the ball with all that noise going on But a robot moving a few inches WHILE you are looking down at the ball and it’s “in the way” 😂 Focus on your shot and ignore the robotshow more

Take a look at this shot from Shane Lowry...... Why did he choose to hit the higher shot vs playing a bump & run or even putt it... This is the difference between the ELITE & the recreational player The recreational golfer is likely putting this or hitting a bump & run with a 7 iron, or even a 4 iron... Now, while this option COULD get the ball close, it's by far the harder option in this scenario The recreational golfer will play the low shot because it's "SAFE". By safe, I mean less chance to hit it fat or blade it across the green For the elite golfer, height is always easier. They usually don't have any issue achieving good contact with their short shots around the green, so in this case, Shane is able to take out all the undulations around this green & just land the ball on the green & using some spin to slow the ball down The harder shot to get the ball close here would be a shot that is running on the ground. There's too much undulation & the ball could hit a ton of bumps along the way which will affect distance control Any shot is possible to hit here... But there's typically a shot where you can get it close more often than not. It's about identifying what that shot is & having the skills to play itshow more

“Darnold turns the ball over when it matters the... most!” *Darnold makes history in the post season “Sam didn’t turn the ball over when it mattered the most BUT he did when he was up big in the regular season though!” Look at his face man the national media has a kinkshow more

So glad you mentioned Bird. Here is the clip... of him saying that he focuses his eyes on the rim **BEFORE** he shoots the ball. But you can clearly see he follows the ball with his eyes **AFTER** the release - a trait almost all the great shooters have.show more

🚨🎙️Micheal carrick was asked the difference between Cristiano Ronaldo... and Lionel Messi 🗣️Michael Carrick:The difference between Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi, for me, is what Ronaldo gives you in the biggest moments. When everything is on the line, he has that ability to produce something special. He turns up when his team needs him most.” “I’ve played with Cristiano, and I’ve seen it firsthand. Finals, knockout games, title deciders—he always found a way to make the difference. Whether it was a goal, a header, a run, or simply inspiring the team, he delivered when it mattered.” “Messi is an extraordinary footballer, one of the greatest to ever play the game, but Ronaldo has that extra edge in decisive moments. He gives you that little bit more when the pressure is at its highest, and that’s what separates him for me.”show more

Mihocek pushes Vlastuin into the pack of oncoming players... but is it a fine or even suspension? He does look back at the ball afterwards but the AFL would have to believe he could reasonably foresee that Vlastuin might be injured with his pushshow more

When your ball is sitting on a tight lie... close to the green and there is nothing between you and the hole, don’t make the game more difficult than it needs to be. Forget the fancy chip, take your putter and keep the ball on the ground. I believe a bad putt is more often better than a good chip. GP #PXGTroopsshow more

“An individual rebound is credited each time a player... retrieves a live ball or purposely taps a live ball to a teammate immediately following a missed field goal attempt." Wemby is such an alien, he has eyes in the back of his head, I guess, and every time he touches the ball it's a "control tip"🤷‍♂️ The NBA Wemby rebound agenda must be stopped.show more

The catcher as his own cutoff man. There are... times when the cutoff man is late or the throw is uncutable that catcher has to make the decision on his own. Keep your head on a swivel. See where the runner is when the ball is released. In general, if the runner is on or passed 3Bshow more

This goal is a coaching problem, never mind Zitha... diving in when he should have kept the shape. Four Chiefs players around a Stellies player and no pressing the man on the ball. How Chiefs plays without the ball is a coaching issue.show more

Don’t be like this player. So many players still... don’t use boost efficiently, even though boost management is the most important skill in the game. A good guideline is to save boost for when you’re making a play on the ball and use your movement to get to the ball. Here is a player who uses all of his boost to chase the ball, and when he ends up low on boost, he keeps chasing anyway. This leads to him bumping his teammate and giving up an easy goal.show more

“There is always a free man. Always. You know... why? Because there is always the solution to give the ball to the goalkeeper. When the match begins, we are eleven against eleven, but when you have the ball, there are ten of you that want to take it, not eleven.” — Xavi Hernández - Page 81, 'ball (2026) available from or Amazonshow more
