7 SIGNS You're A GOOD Footballer (Ep. 2)

[@OJFootballX]

Even though I made it to the professional level I really find your content refreshing and there is always something new to take away from them! ⭐️ Keep it up mate!

[@thefootballfolk]

Thanks so much Oskar! So good to hear, especially as your played professionally! Appreciate it mate 🧡

[@crispycat4852]

Yes, thanks, I really appreciatte your effort in creating these videos its really helpful My son has just been selected by a Pro team here In France to join their under 12s elite players program He had been asked the last couple of years to attend a selection at Clairefontaine but we have been very wary of protectng him and always decided we would wait until he was 10-11 before letting him join a pro club or take the step up We wanted to be sure mentally he was ready and serious But now he is really eager and wants to put in some extra training with me I know it may not be the norm but in the past he wasn't overly eager to actually train when i suggested, he liked to play with is mates in the park but doing some specific training he'd lose interest So this is really useful , the 2 things I have always tried to drill into him above all else are first the issue of being aware of his surroundungs all the time ,look left ,look right , glance behind you and never turn your back on the play so when he gets the ball he can immeidiately know before exactly where the space is or crucially Isn't so he can move the ball inti it with his first touch and then this gives him those crucial extra seconds to decide what to do or pick the best pass And his first touch , using it to set him self up. again move the ball into space straight away, with wharever body part he uses to control it, again so is comfortable receiving the ball in any position and therefore having tmore ime after to use his great left foot and passing ability His older cousin already plays in ligue 1 in France for the last 3 seasons so we had the privilige of seeing him when they came to Paris to play PSG last season and see him sharing the pitch with Messi and Mbappe which of course is a very special thing to a 10 year old especailly as it was the last season Messi wil play in Europe probabably

[@kirstenhuculiak2231]

Thank you so much for these. They are truly underrated! I'm a woman in my 30s who started playing soccer last April for the first time in my life. For a year I have been working my butt off to learn all of the basic skills that all of my teammates learned when they were kids, and it's really overwhelming but very rewarding. Keep making videos, please!

[@thefootballfolk]

That’s awesome to hear Kirsten, so glad the videos are helping! Keep working at it and it will all come more naturally👌🧡🧡

[@Jefstito]

Thats actually really cool. Just out of curiosity, what position do you play and what inspire you to pick up the game now? Any players in particular that sparked the football fever in you?

[@Lockstock16]

One of the best channels in football youtube right now. Me implementing some of your principles has helped me play so much better this season and now I'm regularly training with first grade at my club as a 17 year old.

[@thefootballfolk]

That’s brilliant mate! Congrats on that 👍 So glad you’re getting value out on the vids 😁🧡

Technique, ball control (first touch), vision and physique

[@StepBaum]

Super well done video. Also appreciate the 5 seconds or less where you recorded yourself multiple times to overlap the recordings so it seems you play with yourself as a team. Must've been a lotta extra work. Love it!

[@thefootballfolk]

Thanks mate!! Glad you noticed 😂 I have to get creative as no one is around during the day

I know, right 😂 It took so long to find clips that helped the story along… but we got there in the end 💪 So happy to hear you’re enjoying the content. It means a lot 🧡

You have a knack for explaining the things using the right words, makes everything so easy to understand, I am a semi pro player in Canada, yet everything you say seems so refreshing. Keep it up man

I always look forward to you vids! Felt like the music and other clips were muffling your voice a bit in the intro though. Still a great video!

[@indiw1x]

As someone who is progressing in ability quite a lot recently, watching your videos are so helpful and can’t wait for part 3😂but one question-if I’m a cm but lacks quality vision how can I improve that, becuase I seem to never see anyone in space even when I look up before I receive the ball?

[@thefootballfolk]

🧡🧡🧡 I would suggest to continue to look and get used to what space and opportunity might look like at a glance. It takes practice for sure. Another piece of a advice I would give - if you have the ball and you don’t see anyone available, shift the ball to keep the picture in front of you changing 👍

Regarding 2:37; how can you play well and develop in a team of ball hogs? Please make a video on that because single player playstation football is ubiquitous in age-group football.

[@thefootballfolk]

That’s pretty tough. I would suggest have an honest word with them. That’s what I do. And continue to include them in the build up play to establish a bit of a relationship. They might be more willing to pass if they know they might get it back. Still, pretty tough 😤

[@trevorgammer1779]

@@thefootballfolkwe’ve seen this quite a lot over the years, maybe training one and two touch football may also help some of them realize that moving the ball between players is better and quicker and more productive than trying to dribble through a team.

[@remoar550]

What position do you play? Because I’ve been Switched from CB to LB as a right foot. I have a relatively hard time opening up the game with the weak foot and often I play dead balls in the offensive movement or pass it back to my CB. Appreciate the help

[@julixnsito]

Practice more with weak foot , that’s the only way trust me it can be done

[@remoar550]

@@julixnsito im telling my mates to pass it to the left on passing drills

[@thefootballfolk]

I currently play centre mid, but played most of my career as a striker. I would agree with @minsk and learn to develop your weaker side, but also getting used to playing on that side of the pitch will take time to get used to. I would prioritize getting the ball out of your feet so that you have more space to use your right foot. But also lean into your strengths, Phillip Lahm did this a lot, when he played left back. It might be worth checking out some of his game play 👍

[@Jonifico]

Your videos are amazing but please bump up the volume of your narration. Thanks!

big problem i had for a long time was overestimating my teammate's abilities and not taking their stamina into account when passing
