 In this video, I'm going to share one extremely helpful piece of advice that absolutely transformed my soccer skills. So if you're serious about improving faster than other players, you want to get over the frustration of not developing your skills quickly enough, this video is for you. It's a short one, watch it all the way to the end and make sure you implement this one idea. When it comes to improving your technique, you must take responsibility for your touches, your dribbles and your shots. The ball will only do what you tell it to do and if you can learn to analyze what you're doing incorrectly, you'll improve much faster. So what I mean by that is, say for example, I was shooting this ball and I took a shot and the ball ended up going wide. Okay, I need to analyze. The ball only did what I told it to do. It's not the ball's fault, it's not anyone else's fault, it's my technique's fault. So I need to analyze in my head. Okay, I hit it too far on this side of the ball, I followed through too much, my body turned too much and taking that information, you need to correct it. So instead, I'm going to try to focus more on this side of the ball, I'm going to make sure my fall through goes forward and I'm going to make sure that my body control goes forward. Okay, and then the ball will do what you tell it to do. The same thing goes for your touches. If you're controlling it out of the air and you lost possession, that's because you touched the ball on the wrong place or you were too heavy, you were too hard with your technique. Okay, so the ball will only do what you tell it to do. If you didn't like your touch, if it didn't do what you wanted, ask yourself, what did I do incorrectly? Same thing goes for your dribbles. If you tried to do a turn or a cut and the ball ended up over there rather than here in your path, okay, you need to think. Okay, I should have touched more on that side of the ball, I should have got my body around it more, I should have twisted my hips around the ball more. Okay, so the ball will only do what you tell it to do. Take that idea, apply it when you're training by yourself and your technique will improve much faster. If you don't know about me, I used to be a huge underachiever, but through obsessive self-improvement, I found my success. I earned a college scholarship, played for my national football 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. If you like this content, check out the Soccer Success Planner. You can download it for free.
