How To Improve First Touch In Soccer

[DislikedThisVid]

thats annoyin, i cant hear you.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@DislikedThisVid - Sorry about the audio quality on this video. Thanks for watching.

[MushroomRocksGoPop15]

So good(:

I've been doing exactly that for years, and it really improves skills like none other.

Good Job(:

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@MushroomRocksGoPop15 - Glad to hear it and I hope everyone reads that comment. Hard practice always pays off. Tell me more about your Football goals. What do you want to achieve?

[MushroomRocksGoPop15]

@TheSoccerEssentials

Honestly, to reach my full potential. It gets to the point where I don't think I can learn anything more, but there is ALWAYS room for improvement.

You should put up some videos on tactics and strategy, if you haven't already. I haven't been through all your videos yet.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@MushroomRocksGoPop15 - No I haven't and I would like to. It's a challenging topic to capture on video. What are some ideas you might have?

[MushroomRocksGoPop15]

@TheSoccerEssentials

Haha theres too many tactics!

I can't list them all, but for example, I'd do something like different positioning and how that can affect the game. Having a strong hold within boundaries, switch cover..I dont know, stuff like that.? I'm pretty sure a lot of coaches and players would benefit from videos like those.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@MushroomRocksGoPop15 - Okay I will put it on my To Do List. Thanks for the great ideas. Whats your name?

[MushroomRocksGoPop15]

@TheSoccerEssentials

Doo it(:

and my name is Shaylee(:

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@MushroomRocksGoPop15 - Thanks Shaylee. Keep in touch and keep me posted on your progress. I am always here to help when you need it most.

[SuperLyrics95]

what if you cant do this ? :(

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@SuperLyrics95 - Then you need to start with something more basic. I want you to go to my channel and search How To Juggle A Football Tutorial - I know there are 2 or 3 but there is one that is designed for beginners. Start there and keep me posted on your progress. I am here to help you become the best player you can possibly be. Let's keep pushing forward.

[x3DeJuN]

Hey dylan, its a good video. but the thing is i cant even juggle properly on the same spot i have to juggle all around and the most i can do is above 10+

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@x3DeJuN - Just practice 1 touch juggling. Drop the ball to your right foot and try to kick it back up with good back spin, catch it. Do 100 on your right. Then Do 100 on your left. Do that everyday this week. Then tell me if you can juggle past 10.

[AymenProductionsTV]

Hey Dylan,

Whenever I try to control the ball with my left thigh (Im right footed), especially when the balls coming quite fast, it hurts my thigh, like someone hit me hard. I dont know if cos theres little muscle on the thigh, or i just cant tense it like i do when i control with my right thigh...Any advice? THANKS AS ALWAYS!

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@AymenProductionsTV - Aymen. You shouldn't have to tense your thigh when controlling the ball. Most of the time you are just letting it hit your thigh to take the bounce out of the ball. You may have some sort of bruise? Maybe even internal bruise? But I dont want to scare you. In all honesty, my biggest advice would be to suck it up. Keep doing it and you will get used to it. Does that help?

[AymenProductionsTV]

@TheSoccerEssentials well theres defo no bruise but yea im liking the 'suck it up' policy! I'll try that! thanks!

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@AymenProductionsTV - Good stuff. Stick with it and let me know how it goes. Glad to hear your hard as rock!

[AymenProductionsTV]

@TheSoccerEssentials OK AND THANKS!

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@AymenProductionsTV - No problem. Thanks for always watching these videos. How are your skills coming along?

[AymenProductionsTV]

@TheSoccerEssentials My dribbling has definitely improved thx. and fitness probably too.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@AymenProductionsTV - Amazing. Keep up the good work.

[AymenProductionsTV]

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@Manplan7 - Go to my channel and look at the how to improve passing videos. In the meantime I will work to make a video on long distance passing.

[Valmasseifootballer]

@TheSoccerEssentials well im only 16 but I play for my varsity high school team and I play for my club which is regional premier. But man you're good

[Valmasseifootballer]

Do you play on a team?

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@Valmasseifootballer - Semi Professional. what about you who do you play for?

[leorosa]

Hes good, but I can't freaking understand why he's mix the music so loud his voice is useless

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@leorosa - Thanks for the comment. Sorry about that, this is an older video where I was still figuring out the editing process. Check out some of my newer videos. Visit my Channel.

[lamunecadog]

lol I can't even hear what you're saying...

[anippani]

Your awesome. I really have to start practicing.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@anippani - Well you can start right now. Less talk more action!

[anippani]

@TheSoccerEssentials Yeah, but.....Do you you perhaps have a lesson on how to juggle the ball itself (posture, etc.)? If you don't, can you possibly make one? I just can't get it down, feeling a bit frustrated.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@anippani - Ok I will. I'm putting it on my to do list.

[anippani]

@TheSoccerEssentials Ok, thanks, you seem to be trying to make large contributions to football (or soccer, I guess). That's great, not many people are like that these days.

[whappend13]

Hey man great video, but next time lower the music and then bring it back up when your not talking its really hard to hear you over the music

[goohcheese]

Man, I've sure been slacking off.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@goohcheese - Well lets get it going! Get that training in. Juggle every day!

[TheCoalescent]

Hey guess what, the musics too loud.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@TheCoalescent - Ok thanks for the feedback.

[unstoppable8888]

Your videos are great but the music is to loud to hear your instuction.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@unstoppable8888 Ok, thanks for the feedback.

[grobergeau]

@TheSoccerEssentials- yea thanks by the way do you know what your record is?

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@grobergeau - I stoped counting when I was 14. I remember the highest I got was over 2,000.

One time I had to juggle in a competition in the USA Cup and went for 45 minutes straight.

[grobergeau]

@grobergeau wow thats sick man u have to be extremely consistent for that

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@grobergeau - You can get like that. You just have to keep consistent with your training. How bad do you want it!?

[grobergeau]

@TheSoccerEssentials Yea I train every day trying to get better. By the way could you make a video on how to chip the ball? I can't seem to do it consistently well.

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@grobergeau - Ok, I'll put it on the To Do List. You want to hit the ball in the center on the bottom, with a chopping motion. Using your toes, the more you follow through, the further the ball will travel.

[grobergeau]

@TheSoccerEssentials thanks alot

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@grobergeau - No worries. Keep training. Be sure to get your Free Soccer Training Ebook on my website. Link in the description box above. Great place to start learning.

[grobergeau]

this video is great... i followed your juggling tips and i reached a new personal record of 519 up from my previous record of 376! Thanks man!

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@grobergeau - No problem. Thanks for watching. Im glad to hear you've been practicing your skills

[TheSoccerEssentials]

1) Locked ankle.

2) Curled Toes

3) Hit the ball on the bottom and almost back of the ball.

4) Create backspin

5) Switch feet every time

6) Stay light on your toes and ready to react.

Hope that helps! Keep trying!

[TheRoxasorg13]

Hey there, i reeeally enjoy youur videos you are great..i have 1 question

Im 15 years old , i want to know how my feet has to be and what part of the ball i must hit ..can you help me? Srry for the english..greets from mexico

[InstigationMex95]

excellent vid

Im using this for part of my summer training excersizes. GOod music ha but keep it down

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@InstigationMex95 - Ya sorry about that. Thanks for checking out the video. I'm glad you find these valuable. Let me know if you need any help with your training.

[SHERNIN]

That is some great ball control

Which part of the foot do you use tojuggle the ball

shoelaces part? And do you flick your toes or keep them locked

Thanks forthe vid!

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@SHERNIN - Hey When juggling you want to keep your ankle looked and toes pointed up, curled back, so you can create back spin on the ball. Hit the ball on the bottom of the ball to force it to back spin towards you. Switch feet everytime.

[SimonLegerKlementsen]

The music is very high

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@SimonLegerKlementsen - My Bad. Came out a little louder than I expected. Will make the adjustment for the next set of videos ;)

Thanks for the feedback.

[fred12662000]

how long you took before you were able to juggle so good the most i seem to do is about ten straight and i have been practicing for about a year

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@fred12662000 - Practice 10 minutes MINIMUM! a day for a week. Just try to keep the ball up switching feet. Let me know if you can get past 10. Try and beat your record every single day.

[fznutmeg83]

next time...keep the music down!!!

[TheSoccerEssentials]

@fznutmeg83 My Bad. Came out a little louder than I expected. Will make the adjustment for the next set of videos ;)
