Why do I believe less and less in luck in sports?
Time flies like an arrow.
Fruit flies like a banana.

I believe more and more that what the fans call luck are actually the speed of making good decisions and implementing them efficiently, i.e. psychomotor speed and the biomechanics of movement.

”A foul is not a mistake for the offence, but it is a victory for the defence.” In most matches, if there are 3 to 4 correct fouls in one attack, the referee will call passive play. https://youtu.be/pHzlnYmxi5I Emil will have the easiest time scoring if he’s left...
https://youtu.be/nUMy6djlNjI How do we teach players to find simple solutions in situations where they have a lot of potential solutions? By enhancing the number of possibilities and shortening their decision time. There are a few different models which help us create...
How do we create a competition to encourage individual initiative in players? We need games that help encourage players to do something unexpected, surprising. If we create a framework in which they have these games and additional tasks which help develop...
Almost all online videos and training depictions have one important thing in common: Fluid, precise, and fast execution. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vapuY8s6qWs The first thing that comes to mind is: If the execution is fluid, it means that the players have...
One of the most common doubts in working with children is how to teach Dora to catch a ball and make a long pass in motion without throwing "balloons". The solution can be found in exercises like running the playground in pairs and in groups of three where we are...
What are the preconditions for simultaneously learning the biomechanics of movement and developing psychomotor speed? In order to stimulate the development of psychomotor speed, it is necessary to create exercises that satisfy several criteria: The player assesses the...
Psychomotor speed is the speed of effective resolution of the situations in the game. It is important to understand that the movement biomechanics is also an important part of efficient problem-solving in the game because it is the last element of the psychomotor...
In games with a „touch rule“, we accelerate the game to a speed higher than the match speed, because the time within which the player has to make decisions is reduced compared to the time available at the match. When in such games a player with a ball can choose any...
As we mostly start practices with games, the kind of these games is important. We do not think it's enough that they are fun, but we use them as an incentive to develop abilities, especially psychomotor speed. The most used game is handball with additional rules. For...
