Decide before you're forced to

Nobody talks about what Ødegaard does before the ball even arrives. He's already scanned the field twice. Decided his next three moves. Most players react to what's happening. He's operating off what's about to happen. That's the gap. Here's the mistake most people make: they wait for the moment to get clear before they commit. The moment's never clear. The real reason elite performers look calm is they already ran the scenario in their head this morning, twice. Small decision now. Obvious outcome later. You don't need more talent. You need one less second of hesitation. Decide before you're forced to.
