what better first touch more reliable we
put in this video in this video I'm
gonna teach you how to juggle with your
weak foot naturally I'm a right footed
player but I have two strong feet and if
you've ever watched one of my videos if
you want to be a progressive soccer
follower that idea of having a weak foot
is done it's over you've got two strong
feet from now on you just need to put
more practice more effort more attention
on your weaker leg get them both the
same it's gonna serve you for the rest
of your playing career so if you want to
start juggling better on your weak foot
number one give it more attention most
players let's say your right foot a
player how do you start juggling from
the very beginning you're just on your
right foot and you're doing as many as
you can on your right foot and you never
give this guy unless like every so often
it comes over here then you finally
touch it so from the beginning basic
juggling should be right left so from
the very beginning go right left right
left right left if you're watching this
right now you're a young player or a
beginner don't handicap yourself by
putting all your time and attention on
this and then coming back to this one
five years later and trying to improve
it do it from the beginning and right
left but let's talk about the technique
because that's what probably feels
different right you have one where you
hit it and it feels natural and then you
go to use your other foot and it feels
weird
you can't flex it in a certain way you
can't flex in the same way as your other
foot and that is exactly true it's
because this foot this ankle these toes
they don't have a what's up I hope
you're finding this content helpful
watch this all the way to the end if you
want to find out which subscriber
this video is special shout out the same
flexibility the same strength they don't
have the same muscle memory you've done
this action on this foot thousands
hundreds of
millions maybe not millions but a lot
more times than you have on this one
so obviously it's gonna feel different
but the more you do it the more you
focus on it the more you think about it
the more natural it will become so maybe
just start like this kick and catch but
really focus on strong foot if you're
trying to hit it and it's not getting up
high enough you need to flex that foot
harder you need to put a little more
force on you need to kick it a little
harder but focus on curling the toes
flex foot it's not weak it's not limp
like this if I'm making contact like
that the ball is dying so really focus
on curling the toes hitting under the
ball just like you would on your strong
foot getting good backspin on the ball
and maybe just start like that with a
bounce
[Music]
okay trying to get a good curl on the
back of the ball then you need to start
doing what you did originally on this
foot and that's getting multiple touches
trying to keep it up as many times as
you can okay you can do big ones you can
do these little ones you can do touches
with different parts of the foot little
bounce
[Music]
but you need to give that foot more time
so it's not rocket science it's not over
you don't need to overcomplicate it the
same way you made this foot good it's
the same way you're gonna make this for
good so don't make it any harder than it
has to be just start putting it into
practice adding up the repetitions
evening out with the repetitions but
from the beginning nice and easy with
both feet don't put all the emphasis on
one foot from the beginning but if you
need to catch up give this guy the time
it needs just start with those like
balance touches focusing on good contact
it's better for you to kick it too hard
then not hard enough focus on flexing
the foot curling the toes cradling under
the ball creating backspin on the ball
and then trying different techniques
building comfort using different parts
of the foot and one more skill that I
like to do or one more drill that you
can do for your weak foot that I think
is really good and it'll actually help
you improve a lot faster help you
improve that strength and the
flexibility in the foot because if
you're trying to juggle with your weak
foot I'm gonna guess and you're really
struggling I'm gonna guess if you flex
it like this like it hurts like your
foot starts to cramp so you need to
practice that skill and if you can just
practice a foot stool try to get a nice
pocket in there curl the toes really I'm
really flexing the toes up towards my
head towards my knee and I'm trying to
keep it in that pocket right there and I
can feel the tension in my shin and in
my ankle joint and if you really have a
weak foot then that's probably gonna be
really tough but the more you practice
this the more strength you'll have in
that foot and now we'll transfer into
your juggling skills so I hope that
