I was doing hip stretches during soccer ball juggling practice. The flexibility and the range of motion of hip joint is very important not only for juggling but also for soccer practice in general. I wear red compression shorts under red shorts which are both sweaty.
I am just resting on the ground after some soccer ball juggling practice. My soccer shorts and compression shorts get even more sweaty, and so did my Adidas red socks. You can see shin guards which I wear under the socks.
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.
