Calming beauty

I've always been a soccer fan. Got up a little early this morning to do laundry and Fulham v Stoke City is on. Don't particularly know the players or have a stake in either team.

But what is always great to see is the way in which players create space. The ball is often played backwards which doesn't make a lot of sense in a fast paced sports world. That's how you create space. You don't always look or move forward. Sometimes you play is backwards. Using the whole field and having a vision for where the ball could go allows the players to put the ball where it should go, in the back of the net.

Just because you're moving forward, doesn't mean you're advancing.
