Learning The Hardest Skills in Sports

[@broccolihighkicks708]

For improving the speed on your tennis serve, you should think about gripping the racket lower on the handle. You will be able to generate more power but lose some control. For the free kicks, if you used a different pair of shoes, you might find it easier. The shoes you were wearing had thick bottoms making it difficult to get your foot under the ball and lift it into the air.

[@Cavegamex3600]

Also for the tennis serve, make sure to pronate your racket.

[@craig170]

Also hit it in the box when you are serving it 💀

[@uwulala]

Well said, for the tennis serve, holding the racket like a hammer then hitting the ball flat with your wrist facing the net is a good way to generate power. Also throw the ball 1ft in front of you and make contact at the highest point while also jumping into the court.

[@nguyencraft0195]

yeah, that pair of shoes is not good for football

[@trcgaming-gz3rv]

Also use the continental grip for the serve coz that grip is how u hold a hammer and it smashes hard

[@GuitarGuruGaming]

Love how in a couple of the challenges you forget the original challenge and just try to improve. comparing yourself to the best of the best will only bring disappointment, but comparing to your past self brings improvement. It's a great lesson that applies to any skill that takes a while to learn. you can't expect to be perfect at it, but as long as you are getting better that's what matters.

[@user-ej9kf1df1x]

Honestly out of all of the youtubers ive subbed to and watched, your videos are always genuine no BS and no cringe shit or over reacting or anything, just a normal dude testing his limits everyday big respect keep it up love the videos👍 . just shows people that they can learn to do anything they set they're minds too 🙏

I played baseball since elementary school and the knuckleball was the 3rd pitching method I learned. Crushed majors and juniors.

[@Fadhilxe_1234]

Many people don't realize most football players never learned how to do the bicycle kick they just do it

[@ShoreFell]

I was going to comment the same thing. If you know how to hit the ball confidently, it almost becomes natural. The first time I ever hit one was completely accidental, but since I play goalkeeper I know how to fall properly and I’m not afraid to fling myself in the air so it makes it easier.

Pro tip : when you are landing the bicycle kick you have to land the hand on to the ground before your back lands on the ground and kind of cusioning it

[@Astrals7k]

some tennis serve advice: gripping lower on the handle, and making sure you’re using either what’s called a continental grip or an eastern grip (basicslly holding it sideways) will generate more power and control. also, when you reach the trophy position, drop your arm back and almost whip the serve to generate maximum power. there’s a lot more to it but that’s the basics

[@JailBreakMe_]

I play green ball and I’m young

[@OfficerDonut0]

That cool, I’m 11 and I play yellow ball, right now my age rating is top 200 for my state

[@styxz5980]

you also jump with the front foot and when you make contact with the ball you try to keep a straight body for max power. and you make sure to land with the front foot as well. the toss should also be really high and the jump should come way after the toss.

[@duckyduckergoose]

as some advice, for football you should use different shoes with a thinner outsole, a thick outsole can injure your ankle

[@slfxntz]

My boy watches you all the time and I had to come on here and say thanks. Thanks so much for showing how percervering with something can get you results, and thank you for not giving up. You're a great role model. Your mum must be proud lol

[@igorsvacic217]

his mom is teared between being proud and being scared

[@lemonstealinghorsdoeuvre]

Throw the ball like it's a dart, but with so much force that the air makes a bunch of turbulence behind it, that's what changes the trajectory. The key really is to make sure that the last moment of the throw is pushing the ball straight and then flicking tour fingers out so it definitely has the last bit of acceleration in a straight line

[@madelineroses]

i think not completing a challenge you have is just as powerful as pushing through and reaching your goal. sometimes failing is okay as long as you try

[@ilikefootballandbaddecisions]

I absolutely love your profile so I subscribed.

[@gihomkar]

Mike the thing you were trying was a scissor kick and in a scissor kick you have to land on your side, we even do the same for goalkeeper diving

[@herpaimarcell8712]

Bicylce kick: To do a bicycle kick, you have to kick it almost like you did, but then you have to turn like a 90 degrees, and then you can land on your elbow, so it won't hurt.

[@nicolas-7549]

You are an inspiration to us all, showing everyone that leaving our job in order to film us hurting ourselves is the way to go !

[@samuelgranado5321]

14:18 es el knuckleball es una tecnica tambien usada en futbol solo tienes que golpear el balon en seco

[@bI00n]

I feel like with football landing always hurts more in practise, like you slide in a match and you don’t feel pain but in practise bc it isn’t too important of a slide you just end up hurting yourself

[@tatti1450]

This guy never misses!!⚽❤

[@angelakellett2635]

[@nicolascordez2549]

tip for bicycle kick, *practice on a soft surface first like your bef, and then try sand, and finally the dirt. also land with your hands, i kick with my left leg in a bicycle kick so i land with my right hand, u can try and apply it to ur left so u kick with your right leg, also its better when you dont land first with the leg your not kicking with, keep it in the air*

[@alltheshorts125]

What to say for you! You are insane. Hats off to this man. You always inspire me. I have dream to try every sport in my life. The kind of dedication and consistency you show while learning something new is commendable. Your curiosity to learn everything is just insane. Many people in their life just dream to be cool but you actually put a great amount of hardwork to achieve the coolness. I wish the same for myself. Lots of love from India❤❤❤❤

[@cristianodasilva8266]

[@mcdrums3988]

For bicycle kicks, it is better to land on a grass field rather than turf because a grass field is softer.

[@GigaCatIsAChad]

He should’ve just used football shoes 🗿 for the free kicks

[@PixelPlanetOG]

No because barefoot is easier

[@aidenlikeswater]

as someone who enjoys doing bicycle kicks, try to cushion your fall with your arms but dont fully extend it or else you'll hyperextend it

[@Jasonizer2000]

The fact that he puts himself in pain for these tricks, he deserves so much more

[@mohamedsameh4317]

I suggest getting football boots, it would significantly enhance your kicking and stability, therefore less possibility of an injury.

[@Fk_7p]

For the bicycle kick try to jump as high as you can and don't be scared it's that simple... try to throw your self into it not too hard plus if you want a better bicycle kick you have to have a good cross and football shoes/cleats/boots and try to throw your left foot up an kick with your right if you're right footed And for the free kick try to kick from the bottom to top to have more hight and curve Hope that helps you😊

[@Defjulianimations]

The knuckle ball of soccer should’ve been included. It’s a really advanced skill where you shoot the ball but give it zero spin so it just wobbles through the air

[@ithembalabantu]

He puts in so much work just for us and that’s what makes him special😊😊

[@PeSTaPartysupplies]

It was a scissor kick. But, The scissor kick is already hard enough. Good job!

[@solomonplayz5692]

That was not a bicycle kick that was a scissors kick but still really impressive that you overcomed your fear of flipping and the shot itself was really good

[@jokash12]

Yes, and the ronaldo freekick that he did wasn't a knucleball

[@Badateverythingjajajja]

It was sick tho

[@DJ-ed4nz]

For the bicycle kick, the landing will be so much better if you did it on grass

[@r_1fty]

The fact this guy endures this much pain just for our enjoyment is crazy. Respect.

[@Monsterenergy791]

As a tennis player for over 15 years, don't jump on purpose!! That's a big no-no, your body will go up if you use proper form/technique. Look at a slow motion of an ATP player serve, as the racket goes down then up their feet push against the ground so they naturally go up and towards the net (forward). Sequencing your body segments and relaxation is huge as well - you were muscling the ball and jumping, even if your very strong the ball won't go much faster than 90mph. Tennis is not easy to learn and the serve is probably the most complex stroke biomechanically speaking.

[@alitsuki]

Mike shows that nothing is impossible and that you can do it! Much love we appreciate you ❤

[@baalajzia1017]

For the free kicks and bicycle, you should have wearing football boots. They are designed to do such shots and feel a lot nicer to kick with

[@jeisonmartinez6178]

For the byicicle kick landing when you are falling put both hand next to your hips and your hands are flat as another way to save your back or hip

[@herpetologytime]

Awesome vid! The knuckleball is considered a knuckleball when it knuckles when it moves around unpredictably you need more distance to throw to see if it actually knuckles but if it doesn’t move that’s just a meatball or really easy ball to hit. Again really good video!

[@DexFlex_YT-]

the hrdest skill in this video is making this shot 0:01

[@FilmColossus]

I pitched into college and threw a knuckleball. You’re supposed to have a fingernail on each seam and not let the ball touch anything else except your thumb. You can see at one point how you have a better grip but let the ball sit in the cup between index and thumb. That will cause spin. You practice by literally just pushing the ball from your throwing hand and catching it with your other hand. Like only traveling a few inches. Then sit in front of the net and just toss it gentle without spin into the net. Then stand and do the same thing from close range. And then keep repeating but get further and further away.

[@endercubing8006]

As a person who plays tennis, you gotta hold the racket further down the handle!!! Thats how the speed is created even more.

[@point7980]

In the soccer test you land on your back with the overhead kick right where your shoulder blades are, It is important to hit it with the maximum possible force to be able to land well, with a little fear you would fall with the middle of your back for not applying enough force, greetings from Argentina

[@tchogon4692]

the bicycle kick was actually just a "volley kick". an actual bicycle kick will have your back facing the goal and your front facing the ball, both in as much of a straight line as possible. plus, you need to actually jump and hit the ground with your back (u can use your feet to reduce the impact).
