Appreciate it 👍

I appreciate the support man

Appreciate it!

Let me know about your progress or how I can help!

Looking forward to hearing about your progress!

Thanks for sharing! What steps are you taking to improve in these areas?

Always happy to help. Juggling solely with your weak foot, working on passing against a wall (or with a partner) and turning with varying pace of passes, and dribbling through cones using only your weak foot are all great ways to improve your left foot. You can gradually look to increase the pace of your play in these activities as you continue to become more comfortable. Also make it a focus to increase use of your left foot in training, even if it results in losing possession at times as training under pressure is the best way to improve and be ready for games. I’ll be making a video in the next few weeks covering this in detail!

Hi I’m left footed I wanna become unpredictable and have better weak foot

@@kiateh2111 reading the game is the key to being unpredictable. Routinely look to change pace and direction in either direction, and with both feet, to be unpredictable. Creative passing and dribbling at unexpected angles and times will keep defenders on their toes. If you can show your creativity early in a match, defenders will drop off and you’ll have more time on the ball to find the most dangerous option

It's great the you're confident in your defending. Confidence in the attack can be developed by gaining a better understanding of the functional aspects of attacking including shooting, crossing, creativity, 1v1 dribbling, etc. The best way to develop this confidence is to put yourself in these situations in training and games. If you're a confident right back, venture forward to join attacks and put yourself in attacking scenarios. This will require a higher workload to recover and defend, but over time, you will develop more technical abilities and confidence in the attack. Also, make sure to discuss this with your coach(es). If you talk with them about wanting to be more confident on the ball, they will likely appreciate you being proactive and provide feedback and opportunity in the future.

I would suggest having clear developmental goals for your season. Rather than basing your confidence on the opponent in front of you, base your confidence on your progress toward your individual goals. For instance, maybe your goals include developing your weak foot, learning new skill moves, understanding tactics better, etc. There can certainly be nerves before a big game, and this can actually be a good thing, but you shouldn't lack confidence because of the quality of opponent. If anything, approach the toughest games with the most excitement because you have the opportunity to test yourself at the highest level. Even if the score is not the result you wanted, you can gain confidence in your abilities if you approached the game with the right attitude and work ethic to make it as difficult for your opponent as possible. This will lead to long-term development that will help you years down the road!

@@alicialogue9605 running sprint intervals, dynamic lower body work in the gym (8-12 reps), and plyometrics are all great ways to improve speed!

@@realjgo0d Thanks for sharing your opinion! Every year, records continue to be broken for the fastest top speeds recorded in the sport. More data and improved training methods continue to push the sport forward athletically. This video was intended to provide background as to why players are more athletic, yet the sport has slowed down at the highest level. Hope it helped!

@@Ftblrcntrl I am sorry but I have to disagree, "improved training methods" ? The modern day gym work in Football teams hasn't improved over older methods and it doesn't make players more athletic, to see this watch Barcelona and their gym work then go and compare this to Werner Gunthor training and you will see what athletic training looks and what unathletic training looks like. The older methods were more simple yet way more effective than the modern day training methods, rarely will you even see a simple back squat (especially a heavy back squat) in a modern football team instead you see them doing light weight, ineffective movements that yield little results. The older methods were also better because they were developed by real scientists like Verkhoshanksy who tested methods on Olympic level athletes to see what worked and what didn't. You talk about fastest top speeds but this is meaningless especially with the context that we have, more and more people play football in the modern day so of course we are going to see more fast players who break speed records however this is due to their genetic dispositions not the "improved training methods". However as I said you are right that the game has become slower due to the tactics but for me this is another issue that is ruining Football as modern games are boring to watch and I would much rather watch a game from 20+ years ago. Also for me the modern tactics don't represent any sort of skill/ability or an improvement in the average professional players footballing ability as I think you could take any top team from any era, give them modern day tactics and they will be able to use them as they are intended, this is because the tactics are not hard use as teams just want to hold onto the ball and pass it around slowly waiting for an opening. It is way harder to play like the teams from the past where you play at a fast tempo, take risks and are creative, playing like that requires way more footballing ability.

+ in my opinion apart from aerobic capacity football isn't incredibly athletic and it has become less athletic over the years for the reasons I have stated already, and I am saying this whilst football is my favourite sport, I am not trying to hate on football from an athletic perspective I am just saying what the main stream audience doesn't see and understand.

I appreciate you sharing your opinion. However, the modern game is indisputably more athletic than in previous decades. While you can go back and forth on which decade has the most pleasing football to watch, modern players are faster, stronger, more explosive, and more dynamic than players in previous decades. Players today can’t get away with regular poor habits in the way that previous players could. Additionally, youth players at 12 years old have more nutrition and S&C information available to them than professional players did in previous decades.

@@Ftblrcntrl ​ This is an interest thread of comments but I have to say have you seen how skinny players are today? I can't exactly see all the "information" being put into practice. If they are so strong why are players getting injured all the time? what poor habits are you referring to that previous players could make and get away with? because I feel in all eras of football mistakes get punished so I don't know how you think players of the past could get away with the mistakes. and on what basis can you say that the modern players are faster , stronger and more explosive when you literally say that the modern game has been made slow, so where are you getting to see this speed and explosiveness if the game is slow?

@@EdwardSherard In the US 👍

@@alexflame9383 yes, a low block attempts to take away the dangerous areas of the pitch, giving the team in possession space in the build up and wide areas

The reverse croqueta is my personal favorite as it’s not all that common, but the sole roll outside chop is one that I commonly used and look to have my players implement in games.

Absolutely. A typical training session varies based on the player’s position and developmental needs. I would typically work on these turns in a session with a central midfielder or a winger.

I’ll be posting this soon!

@@SF-sh3ed 5:15. A more detailed video is coming in the near future with additional training exercises to specifically address the first touch
