Setting the tempo

The gap

A new role, not a weakness. At Sporthood the coach is building a deeper game into him — dropping him into midfield to run the tempo, not just finish from the final third.

The plan

How we’re approaching it

Scanning before the ball arrives, receiving side-on, and picking the pass that moves the whole team. Learning to set the tempo from deep — game control, not just goals.

  • Scan before the ball arrives — know the next pass early
  • Receive side-on, open to the whole pitch
  • Pick the pass that moves the team, not just keeps it
  • Set the tempo from deep — game control, not just goals
