 I don't want to be my tendency especially on these new boots and they're super narrow the tendency is all your weight Comes to the outside of your foot so as soon as you're going to stall. I'm already falling away I've already lost it before I even tried So focus on good foundation then I'm trying to get it in that pocket and I'm basically curling my toes up to the sky I'm almost curling my toes towards my shin and I might get a pocket between my toes and my shin and And the ball just sitting in here But I have to have that hard flex in the beginning is probably gonna be awkward for you to flex your foot that hard So I would just recommend If you're super beginner just start like this even with your foot on the ground your heel on the ground Put it in that pocket there Just with your hand and just stay there and just flex just try to keep it there as long as you can Okay, then when you get comfortable you can come off the ground like this and then next step is actually Moving the ball and stalling you get started with a bounce and a stall And I would definitely recommend Going with both feet. This is actually a really good Skill or a really good drill to improve the strength in your weaker foot Just doing a basic foot stall with your weak foot a lot of people would really struggle with this on their weaker side but If you're a progressive soccer player, no weak feet you always use both Next I would go into an ankle stall. So Again, super beginner just start like this start on the ground, but basically I'm trying to trap it Anywhere on my leg, but with the inside of my foot here On the side of my leg and you start like that trap and just play around like that Okay, and just play around with moving it up and down the leg And then I was doing kind of like a heel pop rolling it up my leg and then popping it with the heel Okay, so Roll up the leg as you get high you kind of lean out of it a little jump And then I'm popping it with the heel boom Of my other foot knee stall. So again, maybe start with a bounce. Maybe maybe just start like this And it's a little tricky depending on the angle But it's all the timing with this one. You're trying to clap clap your knees together at the right time From both sides. So it's a little bit timing and kind of and watch how I'm kind of like Watching the bowl as it comes here Almost I'm almost like getting out of the way here And as it lands just clapping bringing my knees together not too hard if you're too hard Let's see If you're too hard, it's it's gonna pop out. Okay, so it's like a subtle it's like a soft A soft absorption several different ways as you'll see in this video Next I'm doing a head stall. Okay, so a head stall and it's tough again with all these start With the ball in your hand super beginner and just place it there But most players will struggle with this Let me do a bit Most players will struggle with this because they don't actually face vertical enough Even when they're doing like basic headers If you're struggling with this skill You're probably going forward too much or backwards too much. You have to find that proper Angle of the neck so you're straight up to the sky And then it's all about the little adjustments as the ball moves both not gonna stay perfectly still So I have to adjust my head Give you a better example and that I have to adjust my head and move with it in the rotate or the The court control to stay under the ball As the ball moves Okay, so as it moves I'll move with it after a certain point You're pretty good at keeping it still. I feel the ball. I feel it running away So I try to move with it and stay underneath it But again, just start with the hands and then over time and you can that's tough And I don't want you to think that when I'm doing these in the video. I'm nailing it every single time I'm making mistakes all the time You're gonna make mistakes in the beginning biggest thing with Any skill whether it's freestyle tricks or shooting technique Any new skill that you're trying you're going to make mistakes. Don't expect yourself to be good when you just started Mistakes are part of it. Just don't allow yourself to get frustrated if you can control Anger and frustration you will improve much faster So many kids will try a few times with young players Any age get frustrated right away give up never improve go on to something they're good at Rather than trying to get better at things that they're not good at You want to struggle. Challenge is good. Challenge is what makes you better So just compose yourself. No frustration. No anger. Just analyze if I'm always screwing up Just don't screw up in the same way Okay, so if I'm always doing let's say for example this head stall if I'm always doing this and the ball always falls forward I'm gonna say I'm not gonna allow it to fall forward at anything. I'm gonna make it Fall backwards Do different mistakes don't allow yourself to do the same mistake again and again analyze the failure analyze the technique Try to improve it and you'll improve faster But just keep calm keep playing. Have fun with the ball. It's all good So we actually missed one there skip one Which was this next call so I'm cuffing it Between my shoulder blades now like super beginner would be I would say like a really flex the arms and especially Like if you're a young player or you don't have any muscle definition in your back You're really gonna have to overemphasize the squeeze of the shoulder blades because I'm making a pocket in here And in here I'm making a pocket so if I don't have a Muscle definition in my back It's gonna be a bit tougher and I really have to overemphasize that for me. I can I'm pretty casual with it. I can I don't have to flex too much But if I really want to keep it up there, I should do a little more of a flex there But I'm keeping it in that pocket there Back of the neck flexing flexing the head back a bit The head's not straight like this. It's flex back shoulder blades or back like that I added a few basic juggling Tricks the other ones are more stalls these are tricks while juggling And the first one was like a heel touch. Okay, so I'm just hitting the ball With the heel on top of that most players will struggle with this because It's the flex of the foot in the timing and they're not actually hitting here I'm basically hitting on like the hard part of my boot Like this part the very back of the boot not the not the inside Not the definitely not the studs And a very advanced skill is like where they cradle it right in here But if you're here, I'm popping it off the edge and honestly What you really want to become good at is The set of the skill. So what I mean by that is when it's time to do the trick If this touch right here isn't good isn't where you want to go Then you're always going to struggle because you're going to have to adjust your body positioning So really focus when you're about to do that skill really focus on this touch The touch before the skill put it exactly where you want just with a little more focus A little more of a delicate touch Okay, but I'm just hitting there reaching around hitting with that sole Next I did a jester I don't know what you call it. We always call it a jester, but like a court jester For some reason and then my set's no good Okay, so it's like here I'm popping the ball I'm going around it and I'm kidding. I'm going around it boom Hitting with the foot that I actually set it with with this one And I'm jumping in the air try with both feet always truck both feet especially from the beginning Don't wait for 10 years of doing 10 years of playing soccer playing football then decide to improve your weak foot do it from the beginning I've never had I've never had bad feet because never had a weak foot Maybe my left wasn't as good as my right for a while now they're both the same my weaker foot might even be better than my Strong foot in many ways because I always do skills drills with both feet last year. We did it was around the world And I'll do a full tutorial on this one because I know everyone Always asked about this skill Okay, but I'm just putting my foot around the ball. I'm kicking it I'm putting my foot around the ball Keeping it up getting back to it Before the ball hits the ground Left foot better and I didn't do that way for this one, but So the reason most players struggle with this one is because You have to understand it's it's two motions in one A lot of players when they start out They're kicking the ball up just like a juggling test. They're kicking it up and then I'm kicking it and then I'm trying to put my foot around. It's never gonna happen You have to do it in one motion. So I'm actually The touch is more like this. It's not a normal juggle touch It's like a freestyle juggle They would call it like freestyle jugglers Freestyle jugglers usually juggle something like this with no spin So they can perform tricks better when you have spin on the ball It's tougher to do a lot of skills But when you're doing that around the world touch use that freestyle juggler Touch at the same time. So you're not kicking it and then going It's at the same time picking up and I'm already starting my circle in that motion Same time Okay, so it's a touch and a circle at the same time And then I just get back to it before the ball hits the ground Those are some beginner freestyle juggling tricks member tricks Are cool at the end of the day. It's about winning games scoring goals Making titles defending keeping possession
