Coaches, how else do you or could you train "speed of mind"?

I've been playing around with idea that it is better to film SAGs than actual games, at least with junior/youth players.
Here's some thoughts why;

• it is good way to demonstrate 4 playing roles in action. from 1v1 to 2v2 (and 3v3)
• you can control the game by themes and rules to help you to teach specific aspects of individiual tactics and prioritys of the game.
• you have also some control over transition situations.

I think it's good alternative to game film and maybe junior players benefit more from it.
