Len, why is vision important in soccer?
57:12
Well, as everybody knows, the top players in the world have great vision.

When you're looking at Messi and you're wondering how he's able to create all these chances and players like De Bruyne, how they're able to deliver passes that very few people anticipate.
57:30
They're doing it because they've been scanning the field on and on.
57:35
There's a scanning rate, for example, that Messi does.
57:39
He scans five plus times every 10 seconds.
57:42
So the more we can see the field, the more we can become creative, the more we can create passes that most people don't expect.

Can you give us an interview, an overview, excuse me, of the first lesson? What would that look like, the first lesson of dribbling for possession, please?
