Coaching Pointers:
Have players look at a soccer ball a few yards in front of them. Then have them look at a tree or an object further away. Point out that even though they are not looking at the ball, they can still see the ball with their peripheral vision. Explain how they can watch the field and dribble at the same time using this vision. |
