Why I Wear Compression Shorts Under My Soccer Uniform Shorts

Today, I uploaded my latest YouTube short video titled ‘The benefits of wearing compression shorts for soccer and soccer ball juggling’.

Recently, I sometimes wear boxer briefs or a thong under my soccer shorts when I practice soccer or juggling. But when I play in games, I most often wear compression shorts.

Compression shorts have some benefits as the underwear for soccer uniform. The first benefit of compression shorts is that they protect the skin of my hips and thighs to a certain extent when I slide. The second benefit is that it reduces fatigue by preventing unnecessary muscle movement.

And for me, compression shorts makes my thin thighs look a little more robust or strong.

Adding A Twist To Football Juggling Can Help Improve Soccer Skills

When we practice football juggling, the increase of the number of taps gives a sense of accomplishment. Of course, juggling itself is a good exercise. But if we want to improve our soccer skills by doing juggling, just increase the taps is not enough.

I think adding a twist to juggling is very important. For example, I practice juggling within a circle which I made by placing a jump rope on the ground.

This is one of my YouTube short movies. As I shot this video in a rainy day on the soil ground, my soccer uniform and soccer boots got very muddy. But surely, my ball control skill was improved by this weird training.

I’m Not A vaulter But A Football Juggler In A Circle

Recently, I started my YouTube channel. I have uploaded my videos almost everyday, including short moves. So Please visit my channel.

I’m not a vaulter. I just use my body to check the size of the circle which I made with a jump rope. As I did juggle a soccer ball after the rain, my soccer shorts and Adidas socks and boots got very muddy.

I often do football juggling in this small circle which I made with a jump rope. During this ‘jump rope juggling’, I must not put my pivot foot outside the circle or step on the rope. This practice may look strange. But I can make my juggling more stable by doing this ‘jump rope juggling’.

Crouch Start And Hip Joint Stretch

I usually wear soccer uniform, football socks and Adidas classic boots, Copa Mundial when I do independent training or practice juggling. I often do some stretches, core training and dash workout from this crouch start.

During my independent training, I often do hip joint stretch. After I do the splits, I make it a rule to stretch my hip joint by opening my legs forward and backward. As the soil ground was wet because of the rain in the previous day, my soccer shorts got very muddy.

Two Reasons Why You Fail At Soccer Ball Juggling

Today, I uploaded my new YouTube video titled, ‘Never Do it! The Biggest Reason Why You Fail To Juggle A Soccer Ball’.

As I started to use Molten Lifting Balls which are designed especially for soccer ball juggling, I found two reasons why my juggling sometimes failed.

As these Lifting Ball are smaller and very elastic than ordinary soccer balls, it is difficult to bounce the center of the ball on the center of my instep of the foot. Besides, the ball tends to bounce too high, because of the rubber material.

Before I began to use these balls for juggling, I thought these ball would be easier to juggle. But in fact, the opposite was true. These balls are harder to juggle than ordinary balls.

But it means that these balls are very useful to improve my juggling skills drastically. So I will continue to use them.

Football Juggling Is A Good Way To Train Core Muscles

I was doing abs exercise wearing soccer uniform, Adidas red socks and Adidas black boots, classic Adidas Copa Mundial. Sit ups training is simple but somewhat difficult. If my posture is not good, I won’t be able to train my abdominal muscle or core muscles properly.

Soccer ball juggling is one of the very effective ways to strengthen my core muscles. And when I do thigh juggling, I use both of my thighs. By using both legs, I can train my left and right sides in a well-balanced manner.

The black color of my Molten soccer ball and black sock holder goes very well with my Adidas classic boots.

How I Use A Jump Rope For Hip Joint Stretching And Soccer Ball Juggling

The flexibility and the motion range of the hip joint is important not only for soccer ball juggling but also for soccer skills in general. Now I keep my left knee on the inside edge of the circle which is made by a jump rope and try to straddle the soccer ball with my right foot as far away from the circle as possible.

But the jump rope placed on the ground is not just for stretching but also for improving my juggling skills.

I sometimes use this jump rope when I practice soccer ball juggling. Previously, I chased the soccer ball and my position became very unstable. So I makes it a rule not to get out of a circle which I made with the jump rope placed on the ground. Thanks to this training, I could strengthen my core muscles and keep my body balance stable while playing in a soccer games as a defensive midfielder.

The Flexibility Of Hip Joint And Soccer Ball Juggling

Did I do the splits? No. Of course, the flexibility of the hip joint is important. But I just pulled the top of my red socks to make the soccer socks over the knee. The long sleeves soccer shirts and shorts are both Liverpool FC. And I like the classic taste of Adidas Copa Mundial.

By the way, I make it a rule to practice soccer ball juggling using both legs. As I am a right handed person, juggling a ball with my left foot is harder than with my right foot. When I use my weak foot, the flexibility of my hip joint is important. So I often do core training and stretching which makes my hip joint more flexible.

Why I Wear Soccer Socks Over The Knee

During playing soccer, sliding is a very important action to get the ball, especially for defensive players. As I slid on the soil ground, my soccer shorts got muddy. But thanks to the compression shorts, my thigh skin was protected to some extent. So were my knees thanks to the soccer socks which I wear over the knee.

As a soccer player, both my thighs and my calves are rather thin. This is one of the reason why I like to wear my soccer socks over knees to make my legs look more robust. My black Adidas boots, Copa Mundial go well with my black sock holders.

Why I Wear Soccer Uniform and Soccer Socks When I Juggle

Football juggling is one of my routine. I prefer to wear my soccer socks over knees because it makes my thin thighs a little more robust. After a long instep and thigh juggling practice, my soccer uniform got very sweaty and so were my socks and compression shorts.

I was not good at soccer ball juggling. But after I changed my way of practice, I could improve my juggling skills. I often wear Liverpool FC uniform and classic Adidas boots, Copa Mundial. These are all my favorite soccer gear and outfits. As I am a defensive midfielder in my team, the ability of ball control is especially important.
