An Effective Decision Making Process in Football (Soccer) - The Logic Flow

The Logic Flow

This guide will help you address the important fundamentals that result in a good decision.

An ordered structure built on The Logic Flow to help you make the best choice.

Involves a series of options where players individually on a team must execute in an orderly manner.

Players cannot duplicate roles, and they must act quickly and in a timely manner.

Players need to be well versed with the thought processes involved in attacking on and off the ball.

Team awareness and understanding of each other’s role is crucial.

The player in possession of the ball and the player(s) moving without the ball" must work together,

in a group effort, executing each step simultaneously and corroboratively.

The Logic Flow has one cycle broken up into "8" Phases (Moving from left to right)

Phase 1	Phase 2	Phase 3	Phase 4	Phase 5	Phase 6	Phase 7	Phase 8
Begin/ Start the Logical Flow process	The Ball (Either stationary or traveling)	You Without the ball (Before you receive the ball)	Glance / Scan Check and see where the GK is positioned. Helps Creates "Long Vision"	Make an Effective Decision (What is the Best Play) Ask yourself Y/N - From the Options of Play	Con troll the Ball - In line of the ball - Adjust distance - Select Surface - Cushion & Control	Execute the Option chosen - Options of Play	Reset (Loop) go to Phase 1 Begin/Start the Flow process

Order of Thought / Options of Play (On & Off the ball) There are 6 Options "on" & "off" the ball. All steps in the process must be executed strictly in their defined order sequentially. The player in possession of the ball and all the players moving without the ball must work together in a group effort, executing each step simultaneously and collaborative.

Intimidation - Obstructions

Sometimes players stray away from the The Logic Flow due to intimidation, social pressure or the yearning to be accepted by their peers.

Players hesitating, taking too long to make a decision or trying to play it safe to hold a position in the team may actually be contributing to the lack of success.

It is important that all players feel part of the team and feel confident that decisions made that accord with the The Logic Flow will be accepted and rewarded by all other team members and the coach.

If a player shoots for goal, rather than penetrating, because there was a genuine belief that they can do so, then that action needs to be accepted by other team mates and encouraged.

All players should learn to play with one another and to support one another with a common goal – to play at their best ability and win the match.

All players need to speak the same language and anticipate the play and circumstances in the same way.

Players should never feel intimidated by their fellow team members; on the contrary, they should feel united and feel that are all contributing equally to achieve a common goal.

Common Sense

Learning The Logic Flow involves learning that "each" of the steps described need to be understood and automatically executed during play.

It is important that players know their strengths and weaknesses and work at their weaknesses at training until they get them right.

If a player has had no luck executing a step in the The Logic Flow and confidence is low, then they should move to the next step in the options of play. It is important that players always play the next best option.

An example, if a player attempted to loft the keeper using a chip pass and the ball cannot get height or misses the target constantly, then common sense is to play the ball to another person who can score. At training work on your weaknesses to improve your skill for next time.

About Team Leadership

Wearing the captain’s band - Oakleigh Cannons FC -

Player Leadership & what it truly means ...

About Forming a Circle of Trust

Forming a Player Circle & what it truly means when this is done...

"The Good, the bad and the ugly..."

Player Leadership & what it truly means ...

The Good:- When a team gets together and huddles up forming a team circle placing their arms together... they are forming a "united" symbol "binding" the team together as one.. An infinite symbol of trust amongst the group.

What is said within the boundaries of this "circle of trust" by the leadership group applies to the whole team and not just to the leadership group itself..

When you form a circle, each arm touches another arm joining and forming a solid chain. A trust symbols. This means what is said within this circle is passed on to and radiates to all and it does not stay with the person who says it.

It is critical that the message passed on to the team is good, positive and in the best interests of the club- with the "club emblem" always paramount and protected. The message spoken is now the responsibility and accountability of all - it has now been passed on and belongs to all within this circle regardless of who said it and who did not.

The "bad & "ugly":- Sometimes players use this opportunity and form this symbol to air their frustration against another player, or a coach, maybe a support staff member or club emblem itself.

Players must realize the difference between the good and the ugly and report anything that goes against the emblem to the proper authority. If you say nothing and do not report the negative things said within the circle, then you are also accountable.
