Dribbling and running with the ball

 

Everyday during my training or before the game, I always start with basic stretching and juggling. It is very important- to avoid injuries and improve our performance/flexibility. I Spend 30 minutes running with the ball in my training. This is because it can improve my touch, close control and also increase my stamina at the same time. I vary this with two type of drill, one with slow jog and the other with 70% speed. I only do with 70% speed 2 times a week because we cannot put so much stress to our muscle everyday. After running with the ball, I continue with crossing the ball about 30 minutes and then shooting practice also about 30 minutes.

 Final session of my training is a 30 minutes of dribbling session. I practice all the moves which I use during the game to make it quicker until it becomes my second nature. My favorite dribbling skills are the scissors, step over, roulette, elastico, reverse elastico and the ronaldo chop. Mostly, I learn these moves from TV and youtube of my favorite players. In order to be good in dribbling, we must practice the moves every single so that it can become our second nature. The most important thing is we must try to apply them in our match. There are no magic formula or short cut to be good in dribble. It is a skill, so the only way for us to be good at it is to use/do it everyday. Practice, practice and practice!
