Transitions are times when you can see your players making decisions quickly when they are under pressure – so you need to make sure players are getting the repetition needed so they can make decisions almost without thinking.

The more stimuli a player is exposed to during practice the better their decision making becomes. Players need to be given the right environment to make decisions in a variety of game realistic settings and the coaching points of each of the sessions you use or the drills you play with your players must be met.
