Perception, energy, focus and decision-making: the F&Knowledge series explores how these levels come together in football. An introduction and eight articles that build on one another guide you through the subject.
THE INTRODUCTION
F&Knowledge — an introduction to the YN1 system
What connects the preparation of an action with what later becomes visible on the pitch?
The introduction presents the connections within the series. Three levels give it direction: foundation with numbers, breathing and thoughts; regulation with imagery, calm and preparation; stability with mental strength and long-term development.
Each article can be read independently. Reading them from 1 to 8 reveals how the topics build on one another and belong to the YN1 system.
