We love to see the flashy, splashy play. The ridiculous dunk; the outlandish, over-the-shoulder, toes-dragging catch in the end zone; the bicycle kick finish to the bending centering pass. What we often miss is the hours and hours of work on the fundamentals that have been done in the background, setting up the ability and confidence to pull off the spectacular. Rather than practice the spectacular, we should be focused on mastering the basics. Then we will have a foundation on which to stand that will allow us to make the jaw-dropping play.

I understand this because soccer players have to constantly train to stay on form and what you see in games such as change of pace or silly moves need tons of practice and another thing, these people are playing against other professionals who have to do the same stuff they are doing.
