0:00 Here's a really interesting fact that I learned, though. Have you ever When you kick or throw a ball at a kid and you throw it over a certain speed, have you
0:08 ever seen them kind of go like this?
0:09 Like they think like like instead of just catching it, they put their hands up. Here's a really interesting physiological phenomenon.
0:17 Over a certain speed, their optic nerve and their brain can't track that object over a certain speed. So, what it looks like to them is they see it in multiple
0:26 positions. So, it actually looks like there are multiple balls flying at you.
0:29 So, you know that feeling of somebody takes two or three or four tennis balls and throws them at you and you just you kind of put your hands up cuz you don't
0:35 know where to go. That's what happens with a kid at that age. It's one of the reasons we don't do keepers at 4v4 that age because a ball struck at them over a
0:45 certain speed, they are no longer tracking it. They freeze because they see it in multiple positions. And honestly, what used to happen in our town at U8 when we played with keepers
0:55 is the kid would just get smashed in the face because they would just freeze because they just panicked when they saw that. Really interesting little fact to
1:01 take away.
