Soccer Passing
Passing skills are a critical aspect for the success of any team. Possession time with the ball will go up with better passing skills. If you pass the ball better you will be a better team. But its not that simple.
If you pass the ball better than your opponent you will win more games, sometimes. Also, good passing could result in more fatigue at the end of the game due to your opponent chasing the ball. But, good passing does not always result in wins. Your team could have 70% possession time but in the end the other team scores a goal and you lose. I believe the lesson learned in this is passing in and of itself is not a powerful tool unless used to accomplish the objectives of the game, win.
An extreme example would be defenders and midfielders passing back and forth, never getting close to the goal. What good is this form of possession if you don't get into scoring position? So rather than going for passing, shoot for purposeful passing.
