Recognizing an advantage

How do you teach kids to recognize an advantage? For context, I work with freshman boys. We work on our principles of playing with an advantage through offensive advantage drills/games. We work on our triggers and actions through SSGs. However, numerous times I notice an advantage being created during the game, and we do not attack the advantage, whether it is getting to space, attacking a close-out, or exploiting a mismatch. Instead, we look to trigger the next action. Or the opposite will happen, and we try to drive 1 on 5, or the offense just turns into a weave. I never seemed to bridge the gap between action and dominoes. trigger -> action -> Advantage -> Dominoes
