Skill that made Frank Lampard a midfield legend - Scanning

One skill that made Frank Lampard one of the greatest Premier League midfielders of all time!
Watch this small clip.
In this 10-second clip, Lampard scanned the pitch 7 times. It may look like a very easy skill, but let me tell you it is not. No matter how much you tell yourself that you will check your shoulder during the game, you tend to forget it as soon as the match kicks off. But how did Frank develop this skill? The answer is his father, Frank Lampard Senior, who himself was a West Ham legend. During Lampard's early days in football, his father used to shout, "Pictures, pictures, pictures" from the sidelines, reminding him to scan the pitch all the time. What started as a constant reminder from his father became his habit. And this very habit made Lampard one of the greatest midfielders of his generation.
