 If you want to become a better player, these are five soccer training drills I want you to add to your current routine. The next thing that I would suggest you add is some form of agility training. So you don't even need a ladder, you can do things like this, working on a line, okay, but actually forcing your feet to go faster than they're used to. So I like using the ladder, I'll just do different exercises. I'd usually go through it really quick, maybe it'd only take me like three minutes, but doing this daily makes me a lot sharper. So singles, doubles, focus on the arm movement, just as much as the feet, sideways to slal them. Okay, and when you get tired, it's so easy just to give up and go slower. That's when you need to push the most. These are going to be struggling in the beginning. They're going to make your feet feel really heavy, you're going to feel out of shape. This is good fitness, good stamina as well. Another one I might do, forward back, okay, but adding some form of agility training to your soccer training is going to make you a better athlete. So I might just do like six sprints, five, six sprints, but I'm not just sprinting to get myself tired. I'm sprinting thinking about how can I get faster. So I'm thinking about the technique of sprinting, focus on accelerations, but here you can do different types of starts. So maybe starting from quick feet and go jumping, landing, push off from the ground, but focus on the technique of sprinting. So acceleration, want to stay lower. First couple steps, I'm staying low, pushing, staying low. Over time, let's say after those 30 yards, then I'm finally coming up. Most kids start down here, first step, boom, they're already up straight. Okay, so try to keep that forward lean. Once you've done the hard stuff, the stuff you don't necessarily want to do, do that stuff at the beginning of your session. When you're sharp, when your energy's high, do that stuff. Don't wait until the end when you're tired, because then you're going to leave early, you're going to cheat yourself. Do that hard stuff, get it out of the way, become a better athlete, then get on the ball. Do the stuff that you want to do, the stuff that you love to do. So one thing I want you to add is, maybe you're working a little bit of ball control, but I always talk about it, add that directional ball control, that match realistic ball control. Moving with the ball, running with the ball. After that, you're going to add shooting. And you're not going to do standstill dead balls the whole time. You're going to do realistic shooting. Yes, you have to practice free kicks. Of course, you have to have that ability. I want you practicing shooting off the turn, shooting after a little bit of skill, shooting with both feet, and practicing different types of shooting. Are you only capable of striking the ball with your laces on your strong foot, or can you curl the ball inside and outside of the foot? Do you have the ability to strike shots with both feet to hit the net consistently? You hit about half volleys, full volleys, but from now on, every time you go to the field by yourself, I want you to practice shooting different techniques, regardless of your position. Hundred shots a day, minimum. The more reps you get, I guarantee you, you're going to feel like a different player if you practice shooting every single day. Work on the ball striking. You're going to become deadly attacker, deadly in front of goal, even if you're a center back, having that ability, knowing that any time you're around the net, you can get a shot off, and you can score a goal for your team is going to give you a new sense of confidence. So add these soccer training drills to your current training routine.
