Expertise • Superior recall and recognition of key patterns • Faster detection and recognition of where the ball is • More effective visual search • More effective anticipation (pre–event) • Perceptual processes remain stable under pressure
Scanning. • It is a skill • You can practice it. • Some have it naturally • It collapses under pressure. • It allows to read the game. • Slow kids have more of it.
Scanning . “Players need to be capable of viewing the defence while in possession of the ball, before reception (while the ball is in a team-mates hand), immediately prior to reception, and while in support of a team-mate, in possession.” Sefarty and Entin 1998

Coherence It should appeal in a number of ways. • provides a means of developing a player’s ability to change his playing style, so as to more accurately and effectively fit a team’s requirements, • develops the players ability to anticipate and predict team-mates and the opposition, • therefore offers a system to optimise the contribution of players to a given team. Mortimer and Collins Sept 2000
Coherence enables criterion based player assessment and development within a team context, the development of shared mental-models enhances talent identification and development processes, together with an objective means to examine coaching approaches. Mortimer and Collins Sept 2000
Scanning • Will increase perception and prediction. • Will increase the one touch success rate. • Will increase completed pass rate. • Is the single largest skill of team sports. Patrick Mortimer
