[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Its more like if you put the time in to juggling the ball becomes easier to manipulate when it its in the air, or coming at you with swerve, pace or whatever game situation soccer puts you in. When everything is moving faster around, and space is a commodity its an advantage to do first touch ball flicks into space, or bring a ball out of the air in one touch so your second touch you can create seperation. This can best be learned with hours of juggling, but more advanced stuff like wall juggling really helps and is more obvious too see the game like scenarios; but you got to put the time in with boring old juggling first with both feet, then one foot, and then alternating between thighs, chests shoulders, and head all can be used to control the ball so you got to practice with the whole body. There is little to no practice time set aside for this so hence juggling should be your friend, and not like making the bed or unloading the dishwaser. Beauty of it is, if you put in 10 mins every day, your kid will be [b]a better and more confident soccer player[/b] after 60days guranteed[/quote]

Better yes; more confident, not necessarily. Because coaches are still likely to overlook the technical player in favor of the big ones who can kick the ball far, which does a number on confidence.[/quote]

Find the right fit environment for your small technical player. But don't put restrictions on them.[/quote]
