This video is about one of the most important habits for attacking players:

Scanning between the touches.

When you're driving at the back line, the goal is not just to beat defenders.

It's to arrive at the final action already knowing your options.

The mistake many players make is waiting until the defender steps before looking up.

By then, it's often too late.

The solution is to use the time when the ball is traveling between touches.

The ball is already moving.

You can't touch it again yet.

So use that moment to gather information.

But don't scan for everything.

Scan for one thing at a time.

Build the picture as you drive.

The same principle applies in wide situations.

The biggest touch is often the most important scan.

When you take the touch beyond the final defender, look up immediately.

That gives you time to identify the most dangerous option before the next action.

Scan between the touches.
Build the picture early.
Know the pass before it's time to play it.
