 In this video, I'll show you how to improve your soccer ball control. If you're tired of giving the ball away or having careless touches, feeling embarrassed by your lack of control, this video is for you. I've improved my soccer ball control over the years and these are some helpful ideas that I think will work for you. If you don't know about me, I used to be a huge underachiever. But through obsessive self-improvement, I found my success. I earned a college scholarship, played for my national football team, a YouTube channel with over 100 million views. I've helped players worldwide and I'd love to help you improve faster and achieve more. You can use your foot, thigh, or chest. Similar to a bouncing ball, think about absorbing the ball and bringing it down to the ground as quickly as possible instead of having a heavy touch that forces the ball to bounce upwards, which will take more time to get under control and allow defenders to close you down. Whenever possible, take your first touch into space instead of stopping still. Protect the ball with your body and take your first touch away from the defenders. When controlling the ball on the move, push it into your path and get it down to your feet as quickly as possible. When receiving long balls, focus on your footwork. As soon as you realize your teammate is about to play a long pass, get light on your toes and react to the flight of the ball. Move so you can get your entire body behind the ball. Watch the ball with your eyes as you make contact with your foot, thigh, or chest. And if possible, push the ball into space attacking quickly rather than stopping it dead and allowing defenders to close you down.
