The amount of information a floorball player is faced with, and processing during a game is amazing. You have your own teammates moving and communicating, the movements and actions of the opponents, meanwhile you need to position yourself, be aware of your body, switch between offense and defense, take quick decisions and respond to things happening around you, sometimes with the ball, sometimes without, while everything is happening in a very high speed. This can be compared with bandwidth on internet, slow connection and you feel a lot of disruptions in everything you do, or try to do. With a high speed connection the information processing and switching between tasks will be smooth and flawless. When you increase your floorball players "bandwidth" during the floorball practices, with challenging multitasking drills with reduced time you actually do the opposite for the feeling of the game, you slowdown the game for them thanks to higher "bandwidth". This is exactly the purpose of this book, to give you the understanding, tools and methods to increase the "bandwidth", with nonlinear or multidimensional floorball drills and coaching for all of your players. The key is to increase the challenge all the time for all of your players, otherwise the development curve will flat out, if you don't push it further. Let's push it further!
