 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 of these exercises These are soccer training drills for beginners 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. No, 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 bend straight legs. Can you touch your toes? Yes?

Not slouching like this Not up here like this a straight line tighten your abs and Can you even do 10 push-ups and push-ups mean proper push-ups? You see kids do push-ups or even grown grown adults doing push-ups like this That is not a push-up. That's not gonna develop your chest. That's not gonna develop any strength Can you do 10 push-ups? Good form control chest to the ground. I'm not resting here. I'm just tapping Pushing up full extension and again. Okay, can you do 10 push-ups? Can you go on one foot and hold good balance here?

Can you do it on both feet? Usually one is worse than the other And I can feel my left knee needs a little bit of work Okay, coming down here And again, can you hold this? Strong balance strong tight ankles tight not wobbling Just still for 30 seconds. Okay, so a little physical Just basic body control Soccer football you need to be an athlete as well as a footballer as well as a technician Okay, so that's a little physical skill assessment or physical ability assessment How do you fare with that? Some things to work on and you can improve all those areas Let's talk technical In my opinion if you cannot juggle to at least a hundred Alternating you're still beginner level technically Can you do at least 20 25 on each body part? Right foot left foot Sorry, both thighs One time can you do 25 on the head? Okay, technical assessment as far as ball control. Can you do those things a little bit of dribbling and I'm saying all these things and If you feel that hey, I didn't consider myself a beginner, but I can't even do these things That's okay I'm just saying this to make you humble. I'm not saying this to bring down your confidence Because I want you to improve more than anyone else. I want you to write in the comments How much I helped you improve and I can't do that if I'm lying to you if I'm not real with you Okay, so I'm gonna be real with you. Please be real with yourself Just a little dribbling assessment Can you do a cone dribble with one touch only? left foot and Right foot. Okay, so bending the knees good control Without touching the cones. Okay, not like this one touch in between the cones a little dribbling assessment for you and both feet both feet Shooting assessment Let's see. Don't have to be far away, but see if you can actually make the ball go where you want it to go with both feet so can you hit Bottom right. Let's say at least at least corners bottom right bottom left Can you hit? top right Top left. Maybe I'm a beginner Bar down. We'll take it. Okay, right foot. What about left foot? And again, not from far away But just seeing if you can actually push the ball where you want it to go and I need to work On my top corner The left just a technical skill assessment now if you're a beginner or you're advanced and we're doing the shooting with your weak foot And you can't do it and you say well, I'm an advanced player But I just have a weak foot. I want to change that mentality come back Maybe your advanced player, but you have a beginner weak foot. Okay practice that and then I'm gonna 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 to 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 This is the featured subscriber for this video if you'd like to be featured in future videos Hit that like button drop a comment below and let me know how my videos have helped you improve and achieve more in this sport
