BOX.

Between the boxes, you already show quality. You solve problems, progress play, and read the game well. But your ceiling isn’t determined there. Your impact, your influence, and your future are decided in the boxes.

This video is about closing the gap between having good midfielder instincts and producing decisive attacker outcomes. And that gap isn’t technical — it comes from how you think, where you position yourself, and how you finish.

When the ball enters the box, you must finish the play.
Not “look for options,” not “reset,” not “find comfort.”
Finish.

And this is where the next level comes in.
Right now, you chase open space because it feels comfortable. That’s a midfielder habit.
But inside the box, angles are everything. Space means nothing.

This is why the cheat code matters:
Hips between the posts.
When your hips face between the posts:
– you have the best scoring angle
– you have the shortest route to finish
– and defenders freeze because they can’t gamble

And here’s the clarity you need:
Body orientation alone isn’t enough.
Your position in the striking zone (central between the posts) is what makes the finish possible before the ball even arrives.

So when you watch these clips:
• take notes
• identify the behavior patterns
• compare them
• see the difference

Because there’s a simple truth about the box:
Striking zone > Open space
Angles > Comfort
Decisiveness > Safety

You’re not in the box to connect play.
You’re in the box to end the play.

This session builds the foundation of your finishing identity — the mentality, positioning, and angles that make you a decisive attacker, not just a good midfielder.

STAY CENTRAL.
