90% of Soccer…

Many people don't know that athleticism in soccer accounts for merely 10% of the game. Do you know what the other 90% boils down to? I'll give you a hint, the area of the body is from the neck and above… The body part is your brain and the answer is Decision Making!
If you look into the history books of this great sport you'll see names like Pele, Diego Maradona, and Franz Beckenbauer. These guys were not spectacular in their size and strength, but they are three of the greatest players to ever play the game. How could that be? They had brilliant soccer minds and made sublime decisions close to every time the ball was at their feet.
This is what makes soccer such a special sport. There are so many different routes players can take to be successful. If you study the game, develop a sound technical base, and work very hard, you can make a career out of playing soccer! Don't think it’s easy because nothing in life that's worthwhile comes easy, but if you are willing to put the time in the options are endless. Soccer is a thinking man's game primarily so a smart player will always have a place in this sport!
