Know the game you’re playing, before deciding if eyes on the ball is what is important.
Sometimes, eyes on the goal is more important.
In some games, the goal draws the ball. In others, the ball draws in the goal.
I have seen too many great players that focus too much on the ball, in a game that requires focus on the goal.
Knowing which game you’re playing is important.
Keeping your eyes on the ball, yet knowing where the goal is, comes from practicing on the goal for long periods.
