Looking to enhance your observation skills? Then try Warren Hackett's challenge that he has set you on the latest episode of Coachcast:

"In your next session or in your next training game, can you reverse your lens? So what I mean by reversing your lens is we talk about on, around, away from the ball. Can you look away, around and then on the ball? Because what is going on away from the ball is going to have a massive effect on what's going on, on the ball. So that would be my challenge.

"It's really easy to watch TV and watch the ball as it moves, but look away from it and look at other players and where they position themselves that may have an effect on the ball.

"I think the final bit I'll add to that is, watch the game as a coach and not as a supporter. All supporters watch the ball. That's where their focus is, but try and watch it as a coach. Broaden your lens, pull away from the ball and see the bigger picture."
