How to learn freestyle soccer tricks?

Ever seen someone performing great freestyle soccertricks and wished that you could do the same thing? To learn freestyle soccer tricks you have to know one simple formula; practice as often you can.

The only thing you will need is a small area and a ball. It doesn’t even have to be a soccer ball, in fact, anything that looks like a soccer ball will do just fine.

Soccer pro = Freestyle Master, OR?

You don’t need to be a soccer pro to become a master in soccer freestyle, in fact you don’t even need to be a soccer player, how about that? Now you may think that I am lying to you or something but this is the fact, I can ensure you. You have to just dedicate yourself enough and you will be able to perform soccer tricks you thought were impossible.

Wearing shoes or not, that is the question

You can practice on your skills wearing your soccer shoes but my experience is that playing with bare feet on soft and natural grass is more fun and exciting. But of course if there are plenty of bees flying around I suggest you should wear shoes for your own best :-)

Set up some goals

Now that you know all this, what if you can’t do more than 10 juggles on your feet but want really to get skilled in soccer freestyle? Well, don’t worry about that, remember, practice is the way to go and here is how: Begin to practice first with throwing the ball in the air (not in the skies :-). Now let it bounce on the ground one time and kick it again. It is also a good practice to use both your feet’s during this exercise.

Keep on moving forward

When you feel that you have gained enough skill to do this without letting the ball touching the ground set up some own goals that you think you can reach. For example, let’s say that your current record is 50 juggles. To inspire yourself, try to break this record in two weeks.

Once you reach your goal try to increase it again, continue doing so until you feel that juggling is pretty easy. After that, you are ready to learn some real tricks. I would recommend you to begin with balancing the foot stall even known as balancing the ball on your foot and head stall which means balancing the ball on your head.

Start with these…

When you can master these two continue with around the world which is pretty impressive but will not require long time to learn. You could also try to involve your friends into freestyle soccer and start to compete against each other. This will make your practice more fun.

Have Patience

One important thing you need to keep in mind is to not get frustrated. Freestyle in soccer is something that takes time and you will need many hours to become good in it. But as with everything else you have to start somewhere.

No one has been born with great freestyle skills. All these people that are so good at soccer freestyle have practiced hard to become so good. This is the way you will need to go and you have to really accept that because there are no shortcuts.
