 give you three different types of slide tackles now before we get into the technique of the slide tackle when it comes to sliding you have to be brave okay you have to be willing to put your body on the line and like i said in the beginning i'm not going with the intent of hurting this guy i'm going with the intent of getting this ball back okay so saying that let's get into these different techniques so you're sliding on this part of your leg here just like that 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 futsal 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 okay so the first one is using your strong foot you're going to kick the ball across your body like so okay so let's just put a couple balls to the side okay so the first one you're going to slide in and you're going to kick the ball across your body like that okay so let's do it again and a great way to practice just pass that ball in front of you and then sprint after it and then you're going to kick it out of the way okay so what you can do is you can just have a bunch of balls and you can slide tackle with that technique you kick them out of a box and then get them all back and go again as quickly as you can okay but again so let's talk about the slide so i'm coming down on my left side if i'm slide tackling with my right foot i'm coming down on my left side and most of us will favor one side when it comes to sliding if you can go both ways that's great i can't really well i guess i can but i do it a bit differently on my left than on my right okay so sliding with your right you're coming down on this side like this okay and then that other foot's coming across okay so you're sliding on this part of your leg here and then kicking across the ball okay so let's do one more example okay so sliding across kicking the ball okay so that's the first one second one you can do is with the outside of your foot okay i'm going to do this on my left because i got my microphone here okay so here i'm coming and i'm sliding on the same side but i'm kicking with the outside of my left foot okay so it's like that with the outside of my left okay so again it's the intensity it's the bravery throw yourself on the ground try to slide on that side of your hip or the back of your leg and then i'm getting my laces to the ball okay down here laces to the ball kick like that let's do one i didn't like that one a little sloppy let's go again one more time if you like this content check out the soccer success planner you can download it for free there's a link in the description

attacker gets it here i'm going to do one more just for myself i want a better contact on that that's better something like that okay last slide tackle i want you to try and this is my favorite because i'll get a couple balls here okay not only are you going to win the ball or you're going to keep possession okay so this one it's kind of like that first one i'm going on this side i'm coming with my right foot but instead of kicking the ball away i'm going to keep the ball okay so i'm going to go down slide and instead of kicking it away i'm actually going to keep the ball like that okay so it's like this so you slide and you keep possession of the ball okay let's do a couple so play the ball sprint slide keep possession then you can play your pass okay so it's like a cradle just break it down for you slow okay so coming in slide and just keep it right there protect that ball okay and you get up play quickly let's do a couple more just like that one more good okay so there's three side tackles across your body with the inside foot across your body with the outside of the foot and then keeping possession of the ball okay so like i said in the beginning first comes down to this comes down to this bravery you have to have the attitude like i'm going in i'm going to win this ball you got to be hard you're going to be willing to put your body on the line and trust me if you go in harder than the other player he's the one getting hurt you're not the one getting hurt okay but if he's going in for the slide tackle and you're going in with a little toe you don't want to get dirty you don't want to get down in there and fight for the ball then you're the one getting hurt okay but go in think about those three different slide tackles inside the foot outside the foot and my favorite keep possession of the ball oh tough work slide tackling all right guys thanks for watching this video please like please comment below post if you have any questions if you have any
