Under stadium floodlights, a footballer in a black kit drives forward with the ball on wet turf while two other players close in, her run traced in glowing green tracking lines.

Ball Physics

The invisible
intelligence
of football

The game is read before it is played. Hidden contributions, seen through the eyes of the women and girls who make them.

Off the ball

You saw the goal. Now see the game.

Most of football happens away from the ball. Ball Physics started here, by looking at the decisions most people never notice.

  1. 01

    Scan

    Before the pass arrives, she has already checked her shoulder.

  2. 02

    Anticipate

    She reads a defender's weight shift and sees the next pass forming.

  3. 03

    Make space

    One run pulls a marker away, and a teammate is suddenly free.

“I don't need the ball to change the game.”

The music

One Touch

The original One Touch, by Soullectual, is a song about seeing the game. Its idea, that the most important football often happens before anyone notices, inspired the Ball Physics approach.

One Touch (Reimagined) is a separate Ball Physics recording, presented in the music catalogue.

Interactive example and themes
