Thanks Mike! I love the mine field drills and so do my kids. Doing different colored gates is fantastic! I appreciate all your hard work and always put these into my every day drills as well as the kids I coach. Have a wonderful day 👊 ⚽️

[@7mlc]

Thanks so much for the feedback and so happy to hear you’re putting them to use with the players you train. Will continue to share all I know! Have a great day too man 🤝

[@wicked_digger]

@7mlc absolutely!! Ball control and passing is #1 and that's what I always tell my teams and myself! Everyone likes to take shots, but we have to get there as individuals and as a team to get that opportunity to shoot. The basics as well as the essentials is what makes the difference!

[@Thebest-iz3jp]

Amazing Mike. Thank you for this training. Can you say me which flask use?

[@akshatarya9095]

The way you manipulate the ball looks so effortless and calming mate ❤‍🔥

[@PRINCEGUPTA-lb1sv]

Hey Michael Can you tell me how to improve vision in game?

[@fatpinkman9931]

Yes please. Though i reckon he already has a video on it. Might needa search

[@yaaahaaaa3198]

I dont really think there is a particular tip, it comes with experience, you have to play, play and play again in real game scenario

[@kenchegowda6775]

Go jogging outside be turning ur head like all will see and think what? And be doing go ahead remember what u see every turn u make while seeing the next turn I can't explain but do that go to place where vehicles move so but be on footpath and turn back see a car see everything not only car predict which second it passes and in hone buy a soft air ball or best balloon juggle the balloon for every juggle see left right try to spot object

[@kevinsayce2248]

Simple method. In a Small Sided Game, you tell players that at any moment you will freeze play. Then I challenged player with the ball to tell me where ‘such and such’ player is or how many players directly to their right etc. Players soon adapt to constant looking around them BEFORE they receive. This is crucial to being able to make fast decisions AS the ball approaches - whether to control, play or shoot etc. Another one. In a SSG, the challenge is that the team with the ball MUST play alternatively to the NEAREST teammate and the FARTHEST teammate. This also encourages spatial awareness before receiving.

[@Speegsy]

Watch full games and just look at the passing options and view what’s the best pass to choose. Which one is risky with high reward which one is going to lead a defender to press leaving space. Play more as well.

[@rbaines555]

Great little drills, i will definitely using these with my under 12s. Great job keep them coming Mike

[@boybandit6129]

Hey Michael hope you and family are good. Another most excellent tutorial and you make it look easy. I think squarespace should be thanking you with all the exposure they are getting. Take care brother.

[@Penbrooksown]

[@sharikbaba2270]

Hello sir. Can u tell how can we be in a state to dribble bcz I know lot of skills and know how to do them but in matches I forgot it/and not becoming confident

[@7mlc]

Try to simplify your dribbling. Skills look cool but ultimately the most effective moves are the ones you can perform at speed. Often simple body feints followed by an acceleration are all you need to dribble successfully 👍

[@taoronaldo]

What brand and model is your upper? I've been searching for it from your past vids 😅

[@7mlc]

It’s the Diadora Brasil Elite 👍

[@hayk_sevoyan]

Mike how long do you think does it take to really see improvements in dribbling ? For example which one is better 1. Train with a partner 1v1s every single day for months 2. Practice alone with cones just for technique

[@7mlc]

Why not do a combination of both? The drills help you master your technique and control, the introduction of an opponent allows you to develop timing, reaction as well as learning how defenders respond to certain movements.

[@Gohaaan6767]

Just ur movement with the ball 🤤🤤🤤🤤

[@7mlc]

Thank you bro! 🤜🤛

[@ProjectB22]

Hi Michael,A Japanese football KZbinr said I should look at the goal post when I am dribbling and use the corner of your eye to look at the defender,do you think he’s right?

[@7mlc]

Sounds like a very specific scenario to be in mate. I wouldn’t overthink it that way.

[@abhikingytgamer]

Please make on this how to practice for begginer by individual😮😢😢😢😢😊😊😊

[@7mlc]

Lots of ball mastery exercises on the channel for you which is a great place to start to develop your ball control 👍

[@kaka1340]

Have a good day

[@7mlc]

Thank you mate. You too! 🤜🤛

[@k_kiki_1655]

I want to ask if the cone weave drills are good or are they are not so match realistic?

[@7mlc]

You could argue that anything outside of matches is technically not match realistic, as it’s impossible to 100% replicate match conditions outside of a match. But drills are instead used to sharpen the tools you’ll be using during a match, so it’s important to pay attention to both.

[@k_kiki_1655]

Thank you so much! I absolutely love your videos your dribling is so clean. @@7mlc

What is your position

[@jb10undefeated]

GOOD DRILLS MY FRIENDS. HYPOTHETICALY SPEAKING, HOW WELL DO YOU THINK YOU WILL DO IF YOU WERE PLAYING IN ENGLAND FOR CITY OR LIVERPOOL OR IN SPAIN FOR MADRID OR BARCELONA. WILL YOU BE A STARTER OR ON THE BENCH WITH ALL THE TRAININGS AND KNOWLEDGE OF THE GAME YOU HAVE ACQUIRED SO FAR.

[@7mlc]

You’re talking about 2 of some of the greatest clubs in the world. The highest level I’ve played is the second division in the USA. Not even a conversation to be had my man 😅🤝

[@jb10undefeated]

@@7mlc DREAM BIG BROTHER. DREAM BIG. SOME OF THOSE PLAYERS CAME FROM VERY TOUGH CIRCUMSTANCES. THEY MADE IT. IT IS TOUGH YES BUT THE DIFFERENCE IS THEY JUST WANT IT MORE THAN YOU. LOL. EVEN MESSI WITH ALL THE HORMONAL PROBLEMS HE HAD. I REFUSE TO LIMIT MYSELF. 🔥

Does ball training on sand helps ?

[@7mlc]

It certainly has its benefits 👍

[@sato1765]

Hello, I would like to see more such unusual exercises, since the same type of exercises are starting to fail, I hope you will listen

[@7mlc]

There is always a way to challenge yourself more even in the similar of exercises mate. The drills are not the determination of your progress, but rather your mentality 👍

[@kevinsayce2248]

Hi Michael Sorry I haven’t posted lately as I’ve been to hospital having a total knee replacement. Hope you are doing OK Cracking video on different types of dribbling. I would also stress that ANY dribble in a game must have an outcome ( accurate pass/shot etc) 👍

[@7mlc]

Hope you’re recovering well, Kevin! Onwards on upwards for that knee from here my friend. Appreciate the feedback as always!

[@muazzamali1215]

sir can you tell me what is the ideal height of playing football. My height is between 5 10 and 5 11. My colleagues often taunt me that it is not a good height. Your height should be shorter. Just tell me is a long height good for dribbling, passing, and controlling. Is tall height good for football.

[@7mlc]

There is no such height mate, it’s your control of the ball that makes a difference. You see the best dribblers in the world all have different heights and styles of dribbling. Don’t worry about what your colleagues say, with all due respect, they are incorrect.

[@muazzamali1215]

yeah, sir Mike I really loved your advice. My dad says a similar logic. He says that if you have a taller height you should feel lucky enough and be thankful to all mighty God that he has given you a such beautiful height. you are also right that different players have different heights. well, it doesn't matter short or long. out there, there are long players with excellent ball control and dribbling skills. like Cristiano Ronaldo. just look how beautiful he was in Real Madrid especially in Santiago Bernabue . well thankyou so much sir . i will always remember your words. i wish i could so something for you. May all mighty God give you lots of hapiness and succes in your life
