"Perfect form"
Placing all body parts in their proper place throughout the entire movement reaching a perfect blend of
gracefullness,
balance,athleticism
and control that is
both beautiful,
elegant and powerful.
You become art in motion.
"Strategic awareness" being able to constantly seek out advantage by ball movement or player
movement. Being able to change your mind in the last split second to take advantage of a situation that did not even exist one second ago"

"VISION"
Every coach has a vision of how he thinks the game should be played. The more detail he can put into his vision the more powerful his vision becomes, also the more he will be able to realize his vision.
But in the end it still must produce results. Make sure it is efficient, effective and productive.
Bayern Munich vs White Star
The First Soccer Game Ever Played in "Busch Stadium".
​
Bayern Munich 1966 European Cup Winners Cup Champions take on St. Louis White Star Amateur Cup Champions and Missouri State Open Cup Champions on Friday June 27th, 1966 at Busch Stadium. This is the first game other than baseball ever played at the new "Anheuser Busch Stadium". The score was 11-2 for Bayern Munich, at halftime it was 9-0. When I asked George what happened he said "the first half we had to get used to them, we were too spread out. After I talked to them at halftime we came out in the 2nd half and we tied them 2-2." And he said it like his team won the second half. " We tied them 2-2." Sepp Maier was the goalkeeper, Franz Beckenbauer is next to him and Gerd Muller is 3 players down from him, Swarzenbeck is next to Muller in the above photograph. Four players from the German "1974 World Cup" winning team.
