Football ABCs - Three fundamentals that I came up with while coaching the U14 academy:
A - Anticipate
B - Body
C - Control
Easy to remember and enforce until it becomes second nature for every player.

A for Anticipate.
It relies on the brain's ability to perceive similar patterns of play and situations through experience while correctly adapting to new circumstances that may arise. The skill of predicting what is going to happen gets better through experience.

B for Body.
Body oriented correctly while receiving the ball, playing and in duels makes a big difference to the individual's game and of the team. It buys you time. The 'sword and shield' principle: At any moment, you can either deal with the ball or the pressure, not both.

C for Control.
A good first touch is an invaluable skill beyond being able to stop the ball dead. A good first touch helps set up the next action and requires vision, anticipation and the right body profile. Hence, the first touch is essentially a pass to yourself.
