What MOST Juggling Tutorials Don't Tell You

Juggling is one of my favourite pastimes. It's simple, easy to do anywhere, and beneficial to my game. But wait! Is it really beneficial? Well, you're going to have to watch to see for yourself.
Regardless, as we discuss the potential benefits of juggling, there are some very simple steps that aren't often discussed. Today, we bring those steps to life so that when you're next watching a juggling tutorial, you can remember these pointers and have more success going forward.
I hope you enjoy this breakdown!

A few moment ago, I was trying juggling but ended up failing. So I was hopeless and opened up youtube and then I saw your video on the home page. Forget about the timing, after watching it instead of juggling 6-7, now I can do 10-15. Thank you bro. 🙌

[@thefootballfolk]

That’s awesome mate! Keep up the practice and soon you’ll get to 100. The hard part is out the way 🙌🧡

[@sidewayscake6134]

how did u get 6-7 when u started i got at the very most 2 if i was lucky :(

[@paragod4551]

[@corner-entry3211]

Well lucky you, I’ve been trying for 1.5 years and still not even 3 kick ups I swear I’m doing something wrong

[@ayo4773]

@@corner-entry3211I’ve only been playing soccer for 6 months and I can do around 45 juggles all u gotta do is practice daily

[@Spartansneverdie]

I can juggle the ball more than 300 times but still here for some knowledge , never stop learning ❤

[@thefootballfolk]

👌👌😎

SOMEHOW U CAN DO 300 BUT I CANT DO 3 LIKE IM SO BAD AT SOCCER

[@jameywillz]

Bro I cannot even express the instant results this video gave me. I thought juggling was impossible and I was only able to do 3-4 juggles consistently, I just set my new record of ten! Thank you!

[@fanblock_07]

It's been literally one year I have been practicing juggling (very inconsistently) and my record is only 18 but now it's really gonna improve as my basics weren't clear. Thank you so much again for bringing videos like that

[@fanblock_07]

@Niszczyciel Frajerni thanks buddy! I'll give it my best

[@user-pt8sg8si9r]

I used to think juggling was impossible and not important but as I practiced more and got better, my game instantly improved my touch, dribbling, and overall control of the ball skyrocketed. I went from being able to do 5 in a row to 500. I definitely recommend practicing it even if u think it's useless

[@subeshshan2723]

How long did it take? Im still at 7 and think is actually impossible for me to juggle

[@Poopslinger69]

I think juggling helps to receive the ball aswell because sometimes I try to stop the ball but it’s up in the air and my timing is messed up so I end up booting it way too far to dribble but if u got kick ups down you can use them sometimes

[@zebra7578]

How about a "what most dribbling tutorial videos won't tell you"? Dribbling is such an important aspect of football, and I'm obsessed with becoming an effective dribbler, but watching myself on video, I look so stiff and unnatural when dribbling. A video addressing how to become a fluid and elegant dribbler would be wonderful

[@ghostnik]

i have been playing for years and i am decent in terms of passing, movement on and off the ball, defending but never got as good with juggling and just watching your video has explained so much!! thanks bro!!

Looking forward to test out what I just learned, I watched many videos for this , but no one explained it as good as you, tyvm!😺

[@MurphyNo.10]

Even though I have most fundamentals of kick-ups, I still wanted to watch this full video because unlike other football tutorials I feel it’s something you can sit through and watch easily. Honestly you have become my favourite youtube channel and definitely my (second 😅) most helpful coach

[@betareyalp]

I found your channel at 10 in the morning today because I wanted to learn how to play football and I finished all your videos at 12 and then I went out and tried the techniques in this video and I learned how to juggle pretty ok today at 2 thank you! This channel will be an asset to me and so many others!!

Been looking for a proper video about this❤

[@sharonbrown8872]

I coach kids and played at a decent level myself. Juggling the ball is something I work on with the kids constantly. The kids I coach are 12 years old and I have some that can do over three hundred, some that can do a hundred and some that struggle to do twenty. As I always say to them, if you can control a ball in the air it becomes a lot easier to then control the ball on the ground. It helps with all aspects of your game. Great video

[@thefootballfolk]

Amazing mate! Such a crucial skill for getting to know the ball and how to work with it ⚽️

This really helped me learn this skill thank you

[@ghost-013-]

*ANKLE* • move the ankle where you want the ball to move • fixed ankle will ensure consistent ball movement, given the primary activity is done by hip and knee • fix the ankle at a neutral position (standing position) *KNEE* • to generate more power, the knee is straight during contact *SPIN* • generating back spin will keep the ball closer to the body -> try to kick the ball higher up in the air -> contact with shoelace/toe knuckles -> kick through the middle of the ball
