Effort vs Outcome

The idea is that there are two different types of things you should be saying.

1. The first focuses on the success of an action.

2. The second focuses on the effort, independent of the outcome.

Specific soccer details of what to say and when are given in the Talk Boxes in each section that covers parts of the game.

The examples below are simple ones, you can add in all sorts of variations.  For example instead of saying “Nice play!” you could use “First class play Jaguars!”  or  “Excellent teamwork blue!”
