 If you want to become a better player these are five soccer training drills I want you to add to your current routine 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 work on my mobility side-to-side Really pushing it out feeling in the groins feeling the hips Loosening up so if you're an athlete right now you consider yourself an athlete You're gonna go play 90 minutes gonna work as hard as you can You're gonna be sprinting all over the pitch, but you don't even have the mobility to come here Or you cannot even touch your toes you're asking to get injured so to make yourself a better athlete focus on mobility This is one exercise. I love and one I would recommend that you add into your 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 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 slalom 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 gonna be struggling in the beginning. They're gonna make your feet feel really heavy. You're gonna feel out of shape. This is good Fitness good stamina as well Another one I might do Pour it back Okay, but adding some form of agility training To your soccer training It's gonna make you a better athlete Next thing that I want you to add to your training is actually sprinting So in between Focus on recovery if you're ever tired in a game and You just sit like this mouth open big heavy panting Just thinking about how tired you are You're not gonna recover as quickly as if You think about controlling your breath Calming the breath nasal breathing through the nose Focus on recovering as quickly as possible Calming the breath not a panicked rush breath So if you want to be faster, we actually have to practice the skill of running skill sprinting So I might just do like six prints five six prints, 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 So I might just do like to the camera. Maybe that's 20 yards Focus on accelerations, but here just a short distance like that Walk back recover Focus on the breathing you're doing this for speed not for stamina. So let yourself recover in between You can do different types of starts. So maybe starting from quick feet and You can go from your chest From a jump so 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.

It's fun to you So you keep doing it you keep getting better at it I have to like sprinting and that may seem like something you don't want to do But if you can adopt that mentality, I like doing physical work I like working hard because it's gonna make me perform better on the pitch then Suddenly the agility stuff becomes easier the sprinting the speed stuff. It becomes easier So change your mentality towards it and you're gonna be a better player because of it once you've done the hard stuff This stuff you don't necessarily want to do Do that stuff at the beginning of your session When you're sharp when your energy is high do that stuff Don't wait to the end when you're tired because then you're gonna leave early gonna 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 gonna add shooting and you're not gonna do Standstill dead balls the whole time you're gonna do realistic shooting. Yes, you have to practice free kicks Of course, you have to have that ability. What 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 the foot Do you have the ability? Just strike shots with both feet to hit the net consistently What 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 100 shots a day minimum The more reps you get I guarantee you you're gonna feel like a different player if you practice shooting every single day Work on the ball striking you're gonna become deadly attacker deadly in front of goal Even if you're a center back having that ability knowing that anytime you're around the net you can get a shot off and You can score a goal for your team is gonna give you a new sense of confidence So add these soccer training drills to your current training routine If you like this content check out the soccer success planner you can download it for free There's a link in the description below and for advanced training check out the online soccer Academy
