Course 01 - Introduction to the Shadow Striker Role
Course 01 establishes the Unit 04 foundation by defining how the second striker / shadow striker solves the connect-and-arrive problem — connecting midfield to the striker while arriving in decisive spaces. The course distinguishes the shadow striker from the pure striker (Unit 02), the attacking midfielder (Unit 03), and the false 9, and trains the role-specific decision sequence of Cue → Body → Outcome.
