[DebraMisse]

foutball

[BillyBooful]

@CheezyKnockers, omg..you don't know what soccer is???!!!

[kpriv]

you might need that, because you cant spell

[FistMethod]

Maybe this is intended for children-- you know, younger kids who are still developing their fundamentals. I wouldn't be so quick to criticize this guy unless we knew who he was intending this video for. I thought this video was well done and informative, especially for people coaching kids who are still developing their foundational skills. Football is the world's game and the "beautiful sport". People that talk down to other players or countries, bragging their skills, are hypocrites.

[jackanaps12]

yah but even tose warm ups are good for any player

[muddassarfarooq333]

his calves are massive stik outs

[butfullfutbol14]

[Seanqw3]

it's just meant to be a guide.. nothing else.. he dosn't have the distraction of playing in a real game, so why not look down?

[jeLZin93]

woww now i'm better in playing soccer as before i looked this video

[fafinho11]

[fafinho11]

im american i play for club in italy i bet your insults wont do anything to me on a field...america is becoe better in the game because we are a melting pot so must of us dont even originally have background from here....dont hate man

[4jjman69]

If you truly have talent and a credible opinion then offer constructive criticism not negativity. I've coached 5 year olds, 7 years olds and 9 year olds here in the US. I lived in Sao Paolo for 3 years as an adult and watched Brazilian kids learning soccer. Would this mans' opinions hold much water with one of the soccer clubs do Brasil? I know that answer and I think you have an opinion on it. But again that is not the point in this video.

[4jjman69]

ForzaAquila. You are still missing the point. And, now you resort to insults, of course. I hope the readers are getting the point here (that is the only reason I bother responding). Regardless of his age ("old man"), location ("Nevada"), or ability ("SOMEONE WITH NO SKILLS"), he is bringing some level of soccer into the lives of kids. He offers thoughts on soccer to children, not adults. Consider the context: not a game, no opponent, audience is children. Be constructive.

[jjppmm69]

ForzaAquila. I never suggested he was Pele. You're entirely missing the point here. You brought up his AGE ("old man") and location ("Nevada"). It may seem funny to make comments like yours..but be responsible. He's making a video trying to help...this encourages kids. Ultimately they may see his method as ineffective...but that is their choice. Offer something constructive and positive for other readers not just criticism or don't comment at all.

[jjppmm69]

Grow up. Would you decline an offer by Pele to teach you...He is 50+. That's how we learn as humans from the day we are born, think before you speak. Together with the others' points about the countries, it only makes sense that the "old men" of "futbol" are better than the US since they've been playing it much longer. Be constructive, this guy just wants to teach soccer/futbol and ENCOURAGE kids to play so that kids have an interest.

[EddyARB]

How are they weak?

[chriskeefe99]

he says now im going to dribble with the outside of the foot, clearly he uses the inside when changing direction WHATS WRONG WITH YOU MAN U CAN CHANGE DIRECTION WITH OUTSIDE OF FOOT!

[1one1republic]

why is he so cautious while dribbling...just looks stiff and lacking in passion....dribbling is similar to making love in football...should be more fun

[evolvedtheobserver]

It's for Under 7's.

[OrganicallyNut]

At least he's doing something productive, coaching youth players. What is your contribution to the sports?

[timanator159]

he shouldnt be looking down at the ball all the time...lol

[gianpa1978]

wow, i'm really struck!! can you try to do it without watching the ball or playing against someone?

[JeffGeorge300]

XD yargh

[Djofu]

You should never dribble with your head down like that.

[xjessicaarawrrx]

i love soccer..

i play 4 leauges...

it's amazing, nothing else like it;

i love this game :]

[skyohan]

looks like you know relatively little about football.

France, Portugal, Spain, Italy, Netherlands and Germany have been producing excellent talent.

[bulletpoint]

lets just say if you're good, you're good and if you're not good, you can be good, no matter where you're from

[stbcristianoronaldo]

I think that places like the U.S. produce better players if there was a love or passion for the game like in europe.

[scottiethejock]

lol i know those countries have good teams but come on cristiano ronaldo for example there are so many good players outside these countries. alsobrazil has a huge population, which is often overlooked

[halofreak177]

keep youre head up

[XxmysterybabexX]

explain... keep head up...

[QMQ123]

needs to keep head up

[KNJ3]

always teach young kids to look down at the ball to make sure their hitting it at the correct spot. good instruction.

[jrgomont]

That's a good video. But if you wanna have good control of the ball, you have to learn to stand up straight, keep your legs as streched as possible. Also, keep your head up and watch the ball only when it is necessary, not all the time. Lowing your center of gravity gives more pressure on your knees and will give you more trouble to keep your balance.

[mykingandsaviour]

Also look out for other players.

[danielabda]

i hate outside dribbling...thats the only thing i can't do as I want to.

[irishmaster007]

Its too obvious the coach is right footed

[Jlow90]

These things are really hard to do..

[swantaryar]

Head up

[soccerstar135]

pick ur head up when dribbling

[takeforever]

Never forget the basics.

[vancouverselects12]

do a step over or sokmething

[manny75586]

this video is from the coaching DVD for U-7's. I doubt there are many 5 years olds busting out elasticos. Probably best for them learn the basics first. ;)

[rza139]

Good video that shows people the different ways you can dribble the ball around.

[Ronnie1abhi]

a good video for starters
