The Capacities Framework
The six capacities
A complete player is not one ability — it is a stack of well-developed ones. The Codex names six families of human capacity that football draws on at once. StunpreX trains all six, deliberately, in combination.
Perceptual
48 drills
Scanning, spatial awareness, pattern recognition, anticipation — what the player reads from the environment before and during ball contact.
Cognitive
55 drills
Decision-making, working memory, attention management, inhibition — the mental work that happens in the half-second before the touch.
Motor
67 drills
First-touch quality, ball mastery, footwork, balance, and movement efficiency — technical execution with both feet, in all conditions.
Communication
16 drills
Verbal and non-verbal coordination, anticipating teammates, and the timing of collective action under the noise of play.
Affective
36 drills
Emotional regulation, resilience, confidence from evidence, and joy — the capacities that sustain everything else over a long horizon.
Adaptive
19 drills
Reading change, adjusting on the fly, extracting lessons from failure, and transferring skill across surfaces, formats, and opponents.
