Crucial Points Of Juggling Which Aim At Improving Your Soccer Ability In General

Soccer ball juggling itself is fun and gives us a sense of accomplishment. But if we want to improve our ability in playing soccer, I think our juggling practice should satisfy some crucial factors. Here is my YouTube short video about this point.

I think there are two important points in jugging which aim at improving my soccer ability in general. First is the accuracy of ball touch. As for me, I practice juggling in a very small circle which I made by placing a jump rope on the ground. In order to juggle within this circle, I have to bounce the ball accurately.

Second factor is the ability of ball control. Ideally, it’s best to decide which part of my body I’ll tap the ball next, not by chance, but according to my imagination. So I bounce the ball in a regular order with my thighs and my insteps of both legs.

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.
