 Now, let's get into a bunch of tricks. I'm going to break it down. I'm going to give you a couple beginner tricks, a couple intermediate, and a couple advanced. First trick I want you to try is a pancake. So, a pancake, I'm going to kick it up in the air, leave my foot on the ground, bulls actually hitting my tent, popping back up. Okay, so the key here is you want to keep your foot flat on the ground. If it's coming to your foot and you're lifting it up like this, it's not going to work. It could work, but that's not true pancake. The other thing you want to think about is having your body weight over the ball. So if I'm trying to pancake the ball and I'm putting my foot out here, it's just going to get away from me. Okay, so I'm going to put my body weight over the ball so I can pop it up. This is going to help you have more control. You can also do a pancake with different parts of your foot. So not just the toe, but the inside or the outside of your foot or even behind the leg like that. The next trick I want you to try is a stall. There's a bunch of different ways that you can do a stall, but let's start with our feet. So when you're stalling the ball, you want to make like a cup with your toes and your shin. Okay, the ball is resting right in there. You can try to stall with a straight foot, but that's a little more difficult. Okay, to start, you want to try like this. Okay, and that's even a good way to start. Really flex your foot, roll your toes and you can trap it in there. Next stall you can try. You can start juggling the ball, pop it up and you want to trap it right there. Okay, a great way to start might be to do this on the ground like this. Just work on getting it up here so you feel comfortable with that motion. Okay, once you get that, then you can work on your timing, try to catch it in here. Next one I want you to try is your knees between your knees. Okay, so like I just did there, you're popping it up. You're almost trying to jump on it, clap it together with your knees at the same time. You may not even be able to stall it, it's a bit tough, so it sits there. Tough one to do.

Basically, you want to lean back. If you're not leaning back enough, you're not going to be able to get it. Cupping it between your backs. Next one you could try is on the back of your neck, so everyone's seen this one before. When I go down, I'm basically trying to cup my shoulder blades together. If I just have a rounded back like this, it's going to be impossible to stall the ball. So you want to cut your shoulder blades, almost pinch your shoulder blades together so you can make a little pocket. When I get it up, I'm trying to keep my head in the center of the ball. Wherever the ball goes, I have to move my head to keep it in the center. So if you feel like you're going to lose it, don't give up. If it goes over here, you go over there. The only thing you're going to come with practice, the beginner trick I want you to try is a milkshake. So a milkshake, I don't know if you call it a milkshake for some reason, that's what they call it when I was growing up, but basically you're going right foot, you're juggling. The only way this is going to work is if you try to do both at the same time. What most people do is they try to kick it, then they try to put their foot around and try to get back down. You can't be quick enough. So what you're going to do instead is almost pick the ball up at the same time that you're going around the ball. So it actually goes over your head. But really leaning forward is going to help you a lot. Roll it up your leg, kick it out with the heel of your other foot. These are very difficult, so if you can't get them right away, please do not be frustrated. One, because no one wants to be frustrated, I don't want you to be frustrated. And two, getting frustrated is not going to get you any better. It's not going to help you learn the skill. Okay, so just stay calm, keep analyzing, keep trying different things, eventually it'll come. So the first of the advanced tricks that I want to talk to you about is to hop the world. So we did it around the world before. This time you need to hop the world. So I'm doing the same motion except I'm going to jump over the ball and hit it with that foot on the other side. It's a bit difficult to explain, a little easier to see. That ball comes from here. We're going to go around it, give it my same foot. I'm going to spin, I'm going to hit it. If you wanted to take 10 minutes a day and just work on these tricks, yes, they will improve your technical skill.
