 You might consider yourself an advanced player and that's good. I want you to be high on confidence But I want to do a skill assessment and see if you can actually do all these exercises If you don't know about me I used to be a huge underachiever, but through obsessive self-improvement. I found my success 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 Here I want to do some soccer training drills for beginners and what I want to do in this video is kind of a physical and technical assessment because I'm not calling you out because when I was a kid or when I was younger. I did the exact same thing For some reason when we are young or we're not that advanced. We're just starting out We think we are better than we are You're watching professional football on the TV and you say You know what? I think my skills as good as those guys or I think I could play at that level But you don't realize how far away you are now. I'm not saying that to discourage you I'm just saying that because I want you to learn to be self-aware of your weaknesses So you can improve them as you get better and better You realize you have so much more and more to improve the quote is The more I learn the less I know and that's so true when it comes to soccer So what I want to do right now is first a physical assessment I just want you to try these things and if you can do these things then hey Maybe you're not a beginner. Maybe you're a little more advanced than I think you might be and again I'm not doing this to call you out. I'm doing this To encourage you to be self-aware of your weaknesses so you can improve them. Okay first test. Can you actually touch your toes? Full-band straight legs. Can you touch your toes? Yes?

Maybe you're advanced player, but you have a beginner weak foot Okay, practice that and then I'm going to get someone in the comments that says Oh, but messy messy can't use his right. He only uses his left One, you're not messy Two, he can if he has a chance on his weaker foot his weaker foot He will finish that chance He just prefers to use that foot the left foot the strong foot in the game That's really fine. You can favor one foot But you have to have the ability to strike the ball with both feet So this is a little technical physical assessment to see if you're a beginner I hope you like this video if you did please like comment below if you like this content Check out the soccer success planner.
