[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Look---the only way you get to be good at juggling is by spending hours practicing juggling.  There is no special secret or video.

My oldest son REALLY struggled with juggling in the younger years.  He is one persistent SOB and just would spend tons of time on it.

At 15, he can do double around the worlds, catch the ball on his neck, shoulder and any part of his body.  It's entertaining to watch--but more so because he was the kid at U9-U11 that would purposely find a place to hide during the warm up juggle.

His younger brother never cared to do that.  He can get 30-100 and could care less about it. He's got a good touch and is a good player too.

However, I have to say watching the older one at U16 now ---he is superior on the field because of the way his body can recognize the ball and accept it anywhere and have instant one touch.

It's true that not every good juggler is a good soccer player---but the reverse is true I find--every good soccer player is a good juggler (at least at the upper levels).[/quote]

You're wrong.  There are videos. Not sure what the rest of your post was about.  It had nothing to do with answering the question.  Should we all share stories about our kid's ability to juggle?  Probably not. Just saying.[/quote]

I think PP's point is that even though there are videos, for the vast majority of kids, it isn't just watching a video one time and then you can juggle.  The videos all basically show the same thing.  It is up to the player to practice it every day for awhile to be able to juggle well.[/quote]
