Hi guys! Thanks for being patient last week while I was recovering from a slight ankle sprain, but Omar and I are back with a fantastic training session! Most of these drills involve some sort of cognitive component to them to not only sharpen your skills technically, but also challenge you mentally. Give some of these a go with your teammate/training partner, and if you don't have one, there's hundreds of individual training sessions on the channel for you to do alone. Enjoy!

[@the_nilz1663]

Great ideas here! Thanks for sharing Michael Myself as a player need this type of work done. I started playing late and haven’t been around the game long like most other players. These work loads polish areas of playing on the field that can rarely be replicated without playing the game itself. So truly thanks again guys.

[@megaman2127]

7mlc i was recently cut from my high school team mainly because of political point of views from the coaches I’m better than most kids who tried out I play striker but ive wanted to change to winger what drills would you suggest for me to become a better striker

[@funnyfootballworld906]

I think we have a cycic connect ion exactly what I lacked I'm my game and was looking for God bless you

[@cool28990]

Brilliant drills thanks so much.

[@kamarulhafizs6575]

and now i've idea to train smartly😊

[@damudread]

One of the best Training drills I have seen in my 30 years of playing the beautiful game

[@stevenclarke646]

love the dribbling part with partner putting some shots in

[@StepAhead_Training]

Love this video! I’ve struggled with being nervous in games my whole life but slowly with individual training and pushing my boundaries I’ve gotten better with it. But this video is going to help me a lot thanks so much!

[@7mlc]

Keep working hard mate, confidence comes from preparation!

[@StepAhead_Training]

7mlc I will and you’re right, thank you so much!

[@porbi7937]

Same as you Jamie

[@StepAhead_Training]

Matti yeah man it can suck but the hard work does pay off in the end

[@henryhaggai9161]

Jamie Jesse Am a coach and this is going to help me greatly, thanks so much

[@michaelkoss]

I love how you discuss WHY you are doing the drill and not just what you are doing! Thank you!!

[@bachorjonah4278]

One of the best tutorials ever. God bless you 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭

[@user-ze6qx1py2l]

You are not only a skillful master player, but also an excellent technical coach. The best one I have seen on youtube so far. Thanks.

[@grounded4845]

Your touch is on point 💪

[@7mlc]

Thank you mate!

[@FuriousDave]

I really like this. I’ve just starting managing my first team and one of the biggest challenges I’m facing right now is how to improve everyone’s awareness and confidence on the ball. This looks like it would be really useful!

[@basskicking4532]

After watching few of your videos, I am now convinced and I subscribed lol! I like your drills but more importantly, I like your logic and reasoning behind each drill. That is how I know if someone knows the game or not. YOU DO KNOW THE BEAUTIFUL GAME. So thank you for doing this my friend.

[@verb7359]

You know even though your video was released 2 years ago from what I see, you've really helped me, please do more videos like this with even tougher drills, Thanks a million bruv⚽️❤

[@TomThompson]

Thanks for delivering constant contact. In these lock down days it really helps me bring some variety to the kids "dad coach" work-outs. Keep it up!

[@Rio9striker]

fantastic drills adding that mental awareness factor into each drill is something you need for a match but is hardly shown in other training videos.

[@ksdean01]

I like these videos. My daughter is moving from striker position to mid-fielder. A lot of vids on importance of awareness and decision making for mid-fielders, but yours actually give drills she and I can work on. thanks

[@femwa]

SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOD!!! So vital for young players to do this from an early age. Brilliant use of visuals.

[@barryduggan7361]

One the best I've ever seen, awareness over the shoulder and around you is invaluable. Great drills to get this in my players heads, I've been talking to them about this skill, these drills are ideal. Thank you. From Ireland.

[@e1minst3r]

Excellent video - I’m always looking for great drills to incorporate into training sessions, and I’d be able to work a lot of these in to focus on different things. Quick feet, quick thinking. Great stuff. Thanks.

[@dave2009summer]

Man how are you always able to come up with ideas for such great drills? You drills are without a doubt the best on KZbin.

[@bigwu4]

Great stuff coach! One of the guys comments on the one with the signals - "this is the greatest drill ever."

[@sunnysengvilay780]

I think this is one of your best video. I love all the drills on this video and can’t wait to trains with my kids on it.

[@turgayhuseyin1128]

Fantastic video with some amazing, interesting and very different training drills! Absolutely love it

[@dave2009summer]

Another great video! All these drills are extremely practical and anyone who has played soccer seriously would know these are effective.

[@jessiharragin2089]

Great session man those drills are the best I've seen

[@andresgonzales4421]

Great exercises to improve technical ability and awareness!

[@coachz7970]

Amazing Drills for Visual awareness, the best on the net, Thank you very much.

[@christopherjroyakhilome8360]

Thanks for this drills, this is what I really need right now because lately I have been panicking in the field being afraid of not wanting to lose the ball

[@2in1soccer]

Really appreciate these ideas, will use them for our tutorials on our channel to better the players. Thanks again, big fan.

[@CalculatedPerformance]

Quality session mate, we always encourage our players to scan to understand their surroundings!

[@MrZoro7694]

What a creative and fun drills you two have ! Thanks for the videos. Support from Vietnamese fan.

This is a quality training video , earned my subscription !

[@zdenekfic9854]

What a technique you got💪💪 thanks for great exercises

[@DJSpyral]

SO I love the "man on" drill with 3 sets of colored cones. I think I'd change the verbal cues though to be more in line with any cues given on the sideline. Using right, left or turn might be more beneficial. Otherwise love the idea!

[@raphaelmarins5660]

Very simply exercises but extremelly effective! Congrats bro!

[@dssanders6100]

Great video...can't wait to get started on this one!!
