Athlete IQ
This regarding athletic intelligence related to the sport.
Often, an athlete’s IQ is of particular concern depending on their position or role in sports.
Athlete intelligence has also been assessed in scouting and pre-draft procedures.

Let me use football as a case study.
What is football intelligence?
A player’s ability to read the game, make smart decisions quickly, and adapt their play in response to evolving situations.
or
It is an ability to rapidly process information, apply rules and strategies, and make sound, independent on-field decisions.
Shows that the player is intelligent by having the below traits?
Know where “teammates” are before receiving the ball. Know where “opponents” are before receiving the ball. Know where the “space” is to play into before receiving the ball. Decide what to do with the ball before the ball arrives (one touch pass, two touches, when to dribble or run with the ball)etc.

The world’s smartest and most creative football players read the game and play ahead of their opponents.

To improve your playing intelligence is by Improving Spatial Awareness.

Always keep your head up
Scan the field before receiving the ball
Develop your technical ability, first touch and ball control
Watch more soccer and take notes on players with excellent spatial awareness skills
Play 1 vs. 1 and 2 vs. 2 while observing the body movements of the defensive players.
Limit playing space to force quicker play in tight areas
Play and pass with limited touches (1 or 2 touches)
Always practice by setting up game-like scenarios and working on your total field peripheral vision, imagination and special intelligence.
Another critical aspect of player intelligence is the player’s movement with ball or off the ball and the concept of space playing, which shows the difference between amateur and professional players.
As a coach or player, I suggest watching different professional videos to understand this concept.
