These notes come from an article from soccer coach David Garcia about option making from teammates off the ball so the player with ball can have an easier time making positive decisions and I add some real AFL specific scenarios at the bottom of the article..
- Playing football is a constant decision making process and the more options a player has in each situation, the longer their decision making will take so decrease the amount of options so that they can make quicker/better decisions
- Too many options can induce anxiety/decision paralysis where you spend so much time assessing each option you fail to take action before opposition arrives
- Shoppers with 30 varieties of a single product v 6 varieties are less likely to purchase anything product all
- Students given 30 topics to choose from write an extra credit essay far less then when given only 6 topics
- Unconstrained freedom (too many options at once) leads to paralysis
- It is self determination within significant constraints, and within rules of some sort, that leads to optimal decision making which is where we find success in providing opportunities for players to make decisions while avoiding decision paralysis
- Say you’re in the pasta sauce aisle and there’s 50 varieties but you know what you’re looking for and what brand/flavor so you turn your attention away from everything else and focus solely on the 2 – 3 best options right in front of you
- To make correct decisions you must master the skill of where to look and what to pay attention to
- Option making is the same as decision making but it’s presented in a different way
- 1st you need a clear game model with clear game principles that creates a non/verbal language to communicate through
- Option making consists of limiting the decisions that players have to make...
