Off Season First Touch Training | Drills To Sharpen Your First Touch

[@muhammadhusansoyibov6815]

Hello Michael. I want to express my sincere gratitude to you. I did the videos you made at home and my game is amazing at the moment. Thank you very much bro. Unlimited love from Uzbekistan❤️⚽🤝

[@7mlc]

Really appreciate the love bro, thank you ✌️❤️

[@AmitSingh-xk3nz]

Goodluck for your future bro I hope you do well😊

[@kevinsayce2248]

For me Michael, technique is like words to a writer, skills are like sentences, speed is paragraphs, experience is a novel. For an author to be successful, they have to know and understand as many words as possible AND their meaning. They have to know HOW they are arranged to make sense and then they have to provide the ‘Story’ - the Beginning, Middle and Ending that takes the reader on a journey of the story of a match. Each ‘character’ interacts with another to ‘tell’ their story and how it depends, interdepends, but also is independent from each other.

[@javichusnava]

Hi Mike, I can't express how thankful I am with these videos. I have been out of the pitch for almost 2 months due to a couple of surgeries I had to take, and I just came back to practice on my own, after watching your videos during these months. I started with individual sessions, and hopefully next week I'm back again with my team. Many, many thanks for these videos, keep them going!! Lots of love from Spain!

[@kevinsayce2248]

Michael, all your videos are creating not only a legacy for others to follow, but also a visual personal diary of how far you’ve progressed with your technique etc. When I coached, I had to write all these things down as there wasn’t any internet or mobile phone cameras etc, so we did it the ‘old way’😂 We had to be ‘creative’....for instance, there was a time when I wanted to get players to be more on the front foot when playing, so I ‘improvised’ and placed old bootlaces curled up in a ball into the heels of both boots of each player in turn so the more they leaned back onto their heels they ‘felt’ it and so encouraging them to play more forward onto their front foot. It took only a few sessions to get them playing more on the front foot. 👍

[@Randy_Batswinger]

That's really interesting. New to football so didn't realise front foot/back foot was a thing. Any books you can recommend on skills? I'm from the pre-internet generation too. Interested in studying the game now. Thanks. 🙂

[@kevinsayce2248]

@@Randy_Batswinger Charlie, books were pre internet days. I’ve still got every note/programme/match reports etc I produced over the years. But honestly, the only way to really improve is to watch more experienced coaches while they coach and at first copy the bits you like and then adapt them slightly and viola, you have your very own drills/SSGs etc.

Hey Michael, I just wanted to say thankyou a lot. I’ve watched your videos for around a year now and just yesterday, I made my school team and my NPL team. You gave me tips and different drills and ways to get better. Thankyou very much.

hey bro congrats! can you say practicing what all made you good at playing? like what would you be doing everyday

[@alistair1506]

[@alistair1506]

@@1andonlyfaxz787 hey man fair enough if you dont play alot then you could try to join another team, that would be ideal if you could, also try to watch football, it doesnt have to be live if you dont pay for it just find a free pirated website of some older games and just watch a few every week, try and pick out what the players do to make the tackles and pass players, buy some cones for dribbling and get comfortable with the ball again just play as much as possible and youl improve, hope this helps!

Mr Cunningham, you deserve to be in any of the top five European leagues mate. Your technique is one to marvel at ❤. Your videos have made a far better player, I’m even a captain now thanks to you. Over the years of watching your videos, have improved my style of play, your videos built my confidence and for that I thank you mate ❤❤. Love all the way from Kimberley in South Africa

[@zaramara2977]

I may be late but still wanted to approve of your amazing vids. I'm doing my UEFA B level coaching license in about 4 months and your videos help a ton with preparation. Cheers

[@kevinsayce2248]

Zara Having done my UEFA B some 18 years ago, then A Licence, it’s quite important to remember that ALL the sessions you will learn are ‘DUO’ focused - that means the Key Points in each will most likely be the opposite of each other. I.e. “IMPROVE FINISHING FROM WIDE PLAY” has the same Key points as “DEFENDING FROM WIDE AREAS” but in reverse.

[@jb10undefeated]

[@jonsmith20766]

An Englishman making his mark in the US, good stuff Michael. When your career eventually winds down, near retirement from the game (a long way off I hope) maybe you could play at a sub standard level like non league or the Scottish premiership.

Man amazing drills & touch, but im still tryna figure out where u got that rebounder from. :(

[@packianaath7117]

Hello Michael ! Is it necessary to buy a dozen of ball to practice, shoot , cross ? Can we improve with a low cost ball ? Or should I buy a costly and good quality of ball ? Does the quality of ball stop us from improving at shooting and first touch ?

[@lfc9671]

Отличная техника!

[@zekeriakazemi3550]

Hell I follow all your videos. How can recovery after injury would you help me

[@mahmoodkhan1535]

Michael, honest Question, how is your touch so perfect? And your dribbling? Did you also had to train ball mastery for months to master your touches?

[@7mlc]

It’s definitely not perfect my man, but rather consistent. Simply by getting repetitions in, whether than be with a partner, a wall if training alone, spending hours recovering the ball at different speeds and bounces. The same goes for dribbling, just spending a lot of time with the ball at your feet will help you tremendously. If you can find opportunities to play small sided with friends/teammates often, this will also help both of those areas of your game 👌

[@msi0313]

so entertaining ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

It depends on what club you play for mate. It’s rare to become rich from playing football outside of the top leagues in the world, but you can still make a good living while you’re playing.

[@Randy_Batswinger]

Keep reading to find a wall to practice on, but that's not as easy as it sounds. All I have round me are walls that back on to houses and neighbours wouldn't he happy. Then I see you carrying on what looks like an ironing board. Wonder what that is? Then I realise it's a portable wall. Or as good as I'm likely to find. So what are they called and where do I find them, please? 🙏🙂

Micheal does playing with barefoot can reduce ball control while playing with boot

[@johnnyhenderson7486]

I don't think it does, really. I only train with barefeet while I'm at home since it feels much more natural to me anyways. I kinda even forget I'm even wearing boots sometimes while in the heat of the game. So I'd best advise keep your mind of that and... you'll be fine.
