Better Decision-Making Under Speed
Better decisions require game-speed thinking and reacting.
Decision-making often breaks down at game speed because athletes practice decisions too slowly. To improve under pressure, decisions must be trained in fast, dynamic, game-like situations.
Good choices at high speed come from repetition, not luck.
Train fast decisions by:
- Reacting to unpredictable cues
- Adding defenders or constraints
- Increasing drill tempo
- Practicing scanning before receiving
