[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I got a D1 scholarship without good juggling skills. I had excellent skills with the ball in actual situations, however. The more touches you get, the better but I always hated juggling and was still good. [/quote]

Some positions have less of a demand on the technical skill vs other positions. A fullback does not have to be technical or have a great touch(it would help) but you better be physical and fast. [/quote]

"Technique is not being able to juggle a ball 1000 times. Anyone can do that by practicing. Then you can work in the circus. Technique is passing the ball with one touch, with the right speed, at the right foot of your team mate."

Give it a rest will you? I understand your kid can’t juggle and has little technical skill so you devalue the skill. The kids who can juggle and are playing on a top teams are technical. There are a lot of kid who are not technical and can not juggle who are on the top team but they are not the top kids. They have horrible first touch, can not one touch a ball for shit and their passes under pressure are inaccurate....ie turn over machines.

They get replaced. A good juggler doesn't make you a great player but every great player is a good juggler. There is an indirect connection between the two. Juggle works on balance(very important in soccer), touch, ball control in tight spaces in the air and the ability to focus over a period of time. If you have a great first touch you can juggle.

We must make sure their worst players get the ball the most. You’ll get it back in no time.
