Soccer Training/Football Training-Developing Field Vision

By Maverick Jensen



Having good field vision is an important skill that all midfielders need to have. The process to develop good field vision, is slow and only comes with more the experience you gain and the more skilled you become. To speed up the process you can try and watch as much soccer as you can as this will enhance your tactical understanding of the game, another tip you could try is to play in different positions this will further deepen your understanding of the game. There are a couple of factors that influence field vision which are;


SKILLS
As you become more skilled and start to improve your technical ability with the ball, the less you will need to concentrate on being able to control the ball. Giving you more time to spend on quickly looking what is going on around you before you actually get the ball. Being able to settle the ball quickly with your first touch is crucial as it allows you to get your head quick then if you have two have another extra touch to control the ball. To improve your skills you need to work hard during your soccer training (football training) particularly by yourself, working on dribbling skills and particularly your first touch and trapping skills.


AWARENESS
Having good at awareness can often come down to concentration. Many players will wander off mentally during the game limiting their potential to know what's going on around them before they get the ball. Improving your awareness starts during your normal soccer training sessions with your team, when you play small gains during your soccer training you must be constantly looking around behind you, to the side. You must know it least one option before you get the ball in case you shut down by a defender quickly.


TACTICAL UNDERSTANDING
To improve your tactical understanding of the game you must watch and analyse what the best players do in their position, viewing the game in terms of positional movement. You must realise where certain players will be consistently in the position that they play. Having a general idea of where your teammates will be due to understanding their positions will make it easier to you to find them with a pass. Another tip that will help you gain further understanding is to play and swap positions with teammates temporarily to gain an insight of tactically where they should be.
