跟读练习: How To Improve Awareness & SCANNING By Yourself (Full Guide) - 通过视频学习英语口语

Scanning is one of those things in football that is referred to all the time.

Players very rarely know the details behind it and how you can actually implement this habit into your game.

I think with anything in life, if you understand the why and the reasons behind why you do something, it becomes much easier to practice.

So for that exact reason, in this video, we're going to be breaking down what is scanning, why you need to have this habit nailed as a player, and how you can train and improve scanning by yourself.

Let's jump straight in.

Scanning can be defined as any voluntary head movement away from the ball.

Why do players have to scan?

Well, it's to get a better picture of what's going on around them on the pitch, which then influences their decisions.

The less you look, the less information you have at your disposal.

When we scan, what are we looking for?

We're looking for not only opposition pressure, but space, as well as our own teammates' positioning and their movement.

Possibly the best scatterer we've ever seen in world football was Xavi.

His awareness made it look like he was never under any

pressure thus he never gave the ball away even as a player who loved to play forward and take risks.

So how was his awareness so good?

Well he's perfected the four key principles of scanning.

So let's take a deep dive into what these principles are

and drills you can use to implement these habits into your game.

The first principle can be described as scan rate or scan frequency.

This refers to the number of scans you get in before the ball arrives to you.

We measure scan rate through the number of times a player

takes their eyes away from the ball in the 10 seconds before the ball arrives at their feet.

For example, Xavi's scan rate was 0.83, which means in the 10 seconds before the ball lands at his feet, he scans an average of eight times.

Ridiculous numbers.

Some modern-day reference points for players, the likes of Decker Rice, Martin Odegaard, Petinha.

And you'll notice all of them are centre mids, and that's for good reason, because the nature of playing in the middle is

that you need to have a 360-degree view of what's going on on the pitch.

While for wide players, you'll notice a lot of the time their scan rate's gonna be a little bit lower.

And this is just due to the nature of where they are in the pitch

and their body shape allows them to see much more of what's going on in front of them.

Onto our next principle and that is scan timing.

Scan timing is easy to understand as it refers to the timing of when we take our eyes away from the ball.

I've rid of thumb here that every time the ball is rolling or moving we try to get a scan in.

This example here is the difference between a decent player and a top player when it comes to scan timing.

What you'll notice in the first example is

that I get a good scan in before the ball travels into me

but then as the ball is in motion towards my feet

I don't get a scan in this is poor scan timing

well the second example is what top players do you'll notice

every time the ball is in motion I get a scan in so

when the center back rolls the ball out of his feet

as it's in motion first look comes in then as the

ball travels I get one look over my left shoulder one look over my right shoulder

and therefore my decision making in this case is much much bad.

The coach is screaming like you're saying scan scan scan but very rarely know the why and when behind this.

So if you can get into your head as a player

that every time the ball is in motion whether that's my teammate is dribbling

and the ball's rolling out of their feet I get a look in

or when the ball is moving between my teammates

or to myself only when it's traveling that's what I'm trying to get new information in.

Following on from our scan timing let's briefly take a look at our third principle and

that is our critical scan this is the final scan we

make as the ball is traveling towards us we can probably all agree

that at some stage in our childhood we were told

that as the ball is traveling towards us keep your eyes locked on the football

but from about 10 11 years old we can start to

introduce the idea of a critical scan it's in the name

critical this is our most important scan as it gives us

the most up-to-date information as the ball travels into us and our And our final principle is scan balance.

This is how we as players should scan both shoulders before receiving the ball.

So we have a clear picture on both sides of our body.

Players have a habit of only being one side dominant, which means they only scan one shoulder consistently.

This is a really poor habit to get into as it

leads to a lot of turnovers as you're only seeing one side of your body.

Now that we understand what scanning is let's take a look at the four ways that you can improve scanning by yourself.

The lowest barrier to entry is to watch pro players.

For example if you're a fullback

and support PSG watch Nuna Mendes as a reference point at the highest level to see how and when they scan.

You'll pick up lots and lots of information and understand the cues that top level players use for scan timing.

Something super simple to do is add the habit into your warm-up for training and game days.

When you're out on the pitch and passing between a teammate or dribbling around by yourself, it's so simple to add scanning in here and make it as habitual as possible.

You may have seen the clip of Adam Wharton of Crystal Palace before games, dribbling around with the ball and keeping his head up at all times, just cementing the habit before going into games.

Very simple, but takes conscious effort to add this to your routine.

Leading on from step one, if you're Lucky enough to have your own game footage, you have to be super intentional with how you watch and analyze your games.

Too often we see players take their best moments from games, clip it up, throw it on TikTok and call it analysis.

This is not going to move the needle for you as a football player.

For scanning specifically, as we mentioned earlier, to measure your scan rate or scan frequency, what you can do is look at yourself and count the amount of times you get a scan in

in the 10 seconds before the ball arrives at your feet.

This is why you're very fortunate if you have game footage, because alongside your scan rate you can check your scan balance to see

if you're scanning both shoulders consistently as well as pick up

if you're getting a critical scan in before you receive any pass

and the final thing to do is work on scanning by yourself

so we put together three drills

that you can use immediately at home for two of the

drills you can use our training one to one scanning tool

which we've made available for free in the link in the description

so after the video make sure you go

and download it for the first drill we're going to work

on our critical scan you'll see we have our scanning tool placed behind us

and we're going to use a wall

or a fence to play the pass into

when you play the pass into the fence you're going to travel in to receive

and as the ball is traveling back into you you're going to get a critical scan in

and whatever color you see on the screen you're going to roll out to

that side so for example

if you see blue you roll to the right hand side

towards blue for the second one we're not going to use a scanning tool

and this is for scan balance after you play into the wall

or fence as the ball is traveling back into you again you're going to get a critical scan

100

but this time you're going to scan both shoulders to make sure we get scan balance in.

101

This is something that's very difficult to train in isolation

102

so these exercises do not need to be complex to get the habit nailed.

103

For the final drill again working on our critical scan using our training one-to-one scanning tool.

104

This one's going to be a little bit sharper

105

and we're going to get a lot of passing and receiving in this one as well.

106

Your first pass can start on either side

107

and you're going to play on the outside of the disc you placed in the middle.

108

Again as the ball's traveling to you you're going to get a scan over your shoulder, call the color that you see

109

and receive on your back foot before playing on the opposite side

110

and you can repeat this for as long as you like

111

so if you want to start as simple as possible go really slow

112

and just get used to the scanning habit over time

113

when you get a little bit more advanced you can go much much quicker

114

and even test yourself with longer distance passes trying to get scan balance in on both shoulders

115

so there you have it a detailed video on exactly what scanning is

116

and now you should understand all the details surrounding it

117

and how you can actually improve it by yourself as a player don't forget to download the scanning tool

118

that is available in our bio just click the link really simple

119

and then you can use it within your training sessions with some of the drills

120

that we've done today and then we've done hundreds of other drills with our professional players some

121

that we've showcased in videos like this that contains five scanning drills

122

that you can use that also contain that scanning tool

123

but don't forget

124

if you don't want to download it's no problem you We

125

can still work on scanning with some of the tips that we've given throughout the video.

126

And we want to hear from you.
