  12. How to be a student of the game • Observe the players who play your position • Focus on the skills that make them successful • Study the decisions they make with and without the ball • Observe how much time and space they have or don’t have

  13. How to be a student of the game • Notice their first touch, does it solve pressure or create pressure? • Examine their fitness level. • How fast, strong, and agile are these players? • What kind of emotional intensity do they bring to the game?

  14. These are all critical components of your development as a player. If you want to be great, you should watch great players play!
