ATHLETICS // SOCCER
SAME FOUR DOMAINS.
ONE OF THEM IS SOCCER.
The system does not change because the sport did. Three domains are measured exactly as they are everywhere else. This is the fourth.
THE CONSTANT THREE
Measured the same way here as everywhere else.
PHYSICALDOMAIN 01

COGNITIVEDOMAIN 02

THESE DO NOT CHANGE BECAUSE THE SPORT CHANGED.
THE VARIABLE ONE
Skill, expanded for soccer.
The instruments stay. The checklist changes. This is the checklist.
TECHNICAL EXECUTION
First touch. Striking. Receiving under pressure.
1V1
Attacking and defending. Both directions.
FINISHING
Inside the box and from distance.
PASSING
Range, weight, line-breaking.
POSITIONAL EXECUTION
Role-specific decisions, in and out of possession.
