Z-Institute’s visual Spine system
The
passes in a soccer game are not accidental, but are orchestrated within the framework
of a team’s system of play. The interactions between the players on the field are
analogous to our bodily activities; they are coordinated and communicated through our
central nervous system.
The term Spine
was adopted by the Z-Institute to illustrate the
interactions
between players in the spine, which represents
the dynamic system of play on the
field.
Each circle in the spine
represents the center
location of the player’s primary playing
area where he is most
active on
the field. The lines linking the circles
represent the connecting links between the players; the thicker the
line, the more
connecting passes between them.
