Jordan has the ball at midfield. Open space ahead. A teammate is calling for it on the left.
Jordan looks up, swings the leg, and the pass goes straight to the other team's striker. Two touches later, it's in the back of your net.
The parents on the other side cheer. Someone on your sideline groans, loud enough to hear. Jordan's face turns hot. The coach throws up both hands.
Now the ball is back at the center spot. The whistle is about to blow. And Jordan's brain is doing what brains love to do after a mistake: playing the replay. Again. And again. In slow motion.
Maybe you know this feeling. Most players do. The real question isn't how to never make a mistake. It's what you do in the next ten seconds.
