It's important that you learn to be man focused before you even think about the ball.
Man Focus, Not Ball Focus
Transcription:
Here's another good example of how myopically focused players become on the ball and not the man. You can see the player in black with the orange helmet here ahead and he's got an opponent on his right-hand side. He's got his high goal player with the ball and they are coming down to this end of the field to score. And all the player with the orange helmet has to do is to take that white player away,
leave the player behind with the ball. And they've got an easy goal. Instead of which he runs to the ball, puts his player that had the free shot off and they missed that goal.
