[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]do you feel that there is a significant difference between kick & run and the through ball at half field that turns everything into a foot race? i feel like those are looked at very differently but rely on similar concepts that are not possession and speed of play. both are basically foot races in the end. [/quote]

those are different, kick and run usually means that on the first touch that a defender or midfielder take, the ball is going forward/long, high, as hard as they can behind the defensive line without any thought of looking for other options or who it's going to, just that someone on your team will try to get to it. A through ball is an intentional pass to a specific target running into a specific area to break down the defensive line or take advantage of gaps.  Usually played on the ground and is usually created by ball movement through possession (passing/dribbling) where you are moving the defensive line to exploit gaps/splits on the field.  Through balls can be played in multiple directions (forward/diagonal/sideways).  Yes there is a BIG difference.[/quote]
