SCANNING IS PURPOSEFUL INFORMATION GATHERING.
Scanning means looking beyond your immediate focus before the next action is fixed. You seek information about space, pressure, teammates, opponents and possible playing directions.
01 / What this means
Why it matters
Frequency alone is not enough. A scan is useful when it happens at a relevant moment, captures important cues and helps shape the next position or action.
The Knowledge Engine connects Scanning to body orientation, space, passing lanes and the weak side. A dedicated Scanning game will receive scenarios only after its measurement rubric has been reviewed.
