What spine system will
world Cup 2010 teams use?
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.
