  • Today, we delve into the basics of controlling the ball out of the air with a controlled first touch. We dive into two of the most common techniques and then finish with a less-utilized technique that will not only help speed up your play - and make you look super stylish and composed in doing so, but also allow you to trust your first touch, when the pressure of controlling the ball is really on..
    I hope you enjoy :)

    Another superb video, thanks. I love controlling the ball with my thigh, I’m always encouraging the kids to use it during their games.
    If by chance you’re doing requests, I’d love to see a video on drills that can safely be done indoors in the home, given a certain amount of room. Here in Canada, we don’t get to use our gardens for 4 to 5 months of the year. Cheers!

    • @thefootballfolk
      @thefootballfolk  6 місяців тому +4

      Thank you 🙏 it’s such a useful skill. I often have players come through that have never been taught. Instead they tend to hop super high to control it on the instep. Still effective, but a lot slower in the transition
      Great suggestion. Is there anything in particular that you want to improve/work on?
      Regardless, it’s on the list of videos 👍

    Most amateur players lacked their body control more than skills, So I think maybe you can teach them how to improve their body control to doing skills well after the skills explanation?

    When dribbling negative thought says “I might lose the ball and I might get concede a goal”and this keeps repeating over and over again and this makes me mess up the things that I have practiced dribbling drills alone by myself over and over again due to the panic that is happening. do you know how to fix this?

    • @thefootballfolk
      @thefootballfolk  6 місяців тому

      Thanks for sharing. This really comes down to a lack of confidence, like not fully believing in yourself or not wanting to let your team mates down. We all go through this at some point. It’s quite normal.
      My suggestion is to keep practicing the fundamentals until you’re really confident in your technique. But also realizing that it’s ok to lose the ball. The very best in the world lose the ball a lot. I believe Messi had the most incomplete dribbles of the ball in league 1 last year (ie lost the ball), and its due to him trying things that most wouldn’t time and time again. So try things, mess up, and learn from your mistakes 🧡🙏
