The 3 Step System to Becoming a Dominant Dribbler

The 3 Step System to Becoming a

Dominant Dribbler

The simple and most effective way to create dominant dribblers that thrive and shine on the big soccer fields +

The Messi Dribbling Drill

The WHY

Hey guys, I’m glad you’ve come upon this report that will change your game. If you are here, it’s because you are serious about improving your game or your player’s game. And I’m here to tell you that you’ve come to the right place.

This report will cover the exact steps I took to become a great dribbler and a player everyone says has “great feet.” But here’s the cool thing, it’s not just me that these steps have helped, rather thousands and thousands of phenomenal dribblers.

This report is a step by step guide to developing a phenomenal dribbler in soccer. This is not a list of moves and different ways to beat a player, (I do provide that in other places AND there are some Bonuses about that at the bottom), rather this is the complete foundation to developing a great dribbler.

Here’s the thing guys. I work really really hard at learning and improving. When I was a player I was borderline crazy about constantly seeking new ways to learn and improve. I have spent tons of money and hundreds of hours experimenting and researching new ways to improve and make myself better.

Combine that with now being a coach at a club, as well as owning my own soccer training company, I spend hours as a coach constantly learning and testing new ideas and methods to quickly improve player’s abilities.

What I’m trying to get across is that I help people get real results. And furthermore I’m not taking credit for all this stuff. This is my own effort combined with researching how all the best players in the world developed their phenomenal skills.

There is a simple process to putting yourself in the right scenarios to become a dominant dribbler. This report will give you that. Trust me, there is nothing more fun than learning how to be a great dribbler.

Furthermore, I’m throwing in bonuses which alone are worth the money. These bonuses will provide great secrets to IMMEDIATELY make an impact in your game.

But here’s the cool part. Developing a player who can dribble really well does so much more than simply teach them how to dribble.

Dribbling is one of the core foundations of soccer. A player who is confident dribbling, will have that confidence trickle into everything else they do. Furthermore, the players that stand out on the field?

The ones who can dribble! Dribbling is fun, it is a core skill you need, and it will make you or your player THRIVE on the field

I don’t really need to sell you on the art of dribbling though. Why?

Because simply watch a professional game and you will see countless times where the players are dribbling. You have to know how! Dribbling happens all the time.

Think of all the top players in the world. Ronaldo, Messi, Suarez, Neymar, Ibrahimovic, Old Ronaldo, Maradona, Pele…. I know you’re already thinking what I’m thinking.

They all have amazing dribbling skills. They all have the ball control & creativity to get out of tight situations. Dribbling is not only needed in and of itself, it also develops creativity, and ball control.

The more you dribble the more confidence you get. The more you dribble the more ball control you learn (think more touches on the ball).

The more you dribble the more you develop creativity/improvisation – one of the 5 world wide recognized principles in sport! Should I say more!??

My promise and some ground rules

Ok so my first promise to you.

My first promise is that everything you read or hear from me is %100 true. I would never want to be doing this if I wasn’t telling the truth.

And I speak from my own experience. I like speaking from my experiences, from my losses, wins, and my hours and hours of research and studying.

You are here because you are genuinely looking for an edge for yourself or for your player(s).

This report will help you.

Believe it or not, this report contains some phenomenal secrets to becoming a great dribbler.

So if you’re smart, work your butt off and care. Then you will improve. And this report will be all you need to get your dribbling and game to a whole other level.

If you finish this report and have other needs, you should look into the other things I offer.

But trust me, this report will launch your game to another level as it is.

All that’s left for you right now is to take this stuff apply it and work really hard. If you read this stuff and think; “now what, what do I do?” Then you’re already defeating yourself.

You must think creatively about how to apply this stuff and how to start doing it right now in your everyday life. Take this stuff and apply it for 1 week and you and others will notice a difference.

It’s up to you to do though…

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ Nothing would be more exciting for me then for someone to read this report and email me back saying how much this helped. I truly want you to succeed.

Which brings us to our first ground rule…

Rule #1: You must read this entire report twice.

Now, in reality you should probably read this over 3-4 times to REALLY get the information in your head so you can apply immediately. But I’m not your mom or dad. So it’s up to you.

But the point is that, if you don’t really read this over well and get every word it’s going to be tough to help you.

I’m barely making money off this report which is fine, that’s my decision.

But if you can’t read this report word for word than it’s going to be tough for you to actually improve. Why? Because if you can’t take the time to read something this valuable over and actually get the points, then it’s going to be tough for you to take the steps to make a difference in your game or your player’s games.

Someone who can’t read this word for word should go back to their regular club training that will NOT improve them or put them ahead of the pack like the wish.

Sorry if I’m ranting I’m done! I just really want people to put the work in to see the difference.

Rule #2: You must take immediate action

This probably comes as no surprise. But you must take immediate action. Fail to do so will mean that it will only be put on the backburner, which ultimately only hurts you.

It’s quite sad for people to invest in something worthwhile only to leave it on the backburner. Seriously, it really is.

So with that said, I’m declaring martial law, you must take action. It will help you!

My point here isn’t to force you to do something. Rather to show you that implementing some hard work immediately will pay off.

If you really want to see a difference, then these foundational aspects will do that for you.

I am going to show you exactly what I did and what can in turn help you.

Rule #3: You must think creatively

Ok let me explain this one real quick.

I have used this strategy throughout my life. In fact, most top players have been involved in these exact same elements as well as the bonuses. The bonuses at the end of this report describe very important elements which make the difference between average and great players.

But, you must think creatively of how to apply these things to your life right now. If you can’t think creatively, you may struggle coming up with ways of how to implement right now according to your situation.

You see everyone is in a different situation. But here’s the thing, anyone CAN FIND ways to make these things work. You simply must think of how they apply to your situation.

This report is a result of hard work and it works. It’s the same secrets that have turned so many top players into pro’s.

I cannot tell you how to implement this in your daily life. But trust me, there is a way. Figure out how it applies to your situation and you will be set.

Diving in

Here’s how this is going to go…

I am going to walk you through the exact same steps I took.

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ By the end of this report you will know the exact steps you must make in your life right now to start becoming a dominant dribbler. If you are a parent, apply these steps for your kids and sit back and watch the results.

Remember; you must think read this report word for word (hopefully twice), you must apply immediately, and you must think creatively of how it applies to your situation because it does!

Without further ado let’s jump in…

So before we get into all the other crucial and important details, we need to get the basic technique right. Not only that, we need to nail down what type of technique you should focus on. We need to clarify works and what doesn’t.

You’re going to love this system because it immediately gives you a new way to make a huge impact in your game or your kid’s game.

Technique Part 1

The first thing I need you to focus on is:

~ Getting really good with your strong foot

You see, there’s a huge misconception out there about practicing with both feet, or not. The grand majority of people think you must practice equally with both feet in an optimal world. Right? You believe that don’t you? I would be willing to bet money you do.

Ever since I was young I was being told to practice regularly with each foot. But this is misinformed. There are certain areas where you should be competent with your weak foot. But, and to be honest this is a different argument, no player in the world plays equally with both feet. There are some players who say they play equally with both feet but usually they aren’t very good with either foot.

And then there’s the Pro’s who people say can do great with both feet. And that’s a lie as well. You see there are Pro’s who can do really well with their weak foot, but NEVER as well as with their strong foot. So the argument is, should you practice as much with your weak foot as your strong? NO! Why not?

Because the more you practice with your weak foot the less you improve your real asset – your strong foot.

The key is getting competent with your weak foot. And competent only in the critical areas. These critical areas are shooting, passing, receiving and basic ball manipulation to go along with your strong foot.

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ If you want to see real improvements and quick, then focus on your strong foot. Either way I got off track a little because we’re talking about dribbling here right? But I did just give you a tip for overall improvement. Focus mostly on your strong foot and improve your weak foot for certain things like I mentioned above.

But getting back to dribbling. There is not one dribbler in the world who dribbles equally with their weak foot and strong foot. Not one. Well, maybe there are some but I guarantee you they don’t dribble well.

Even if for some weird reason you can dribble just as well with your weak foot as your strong foot, it’s incorrect to dribble equally with both feet when actually dribbling!

Messi and Ronaldo both stick to their strong foots predominantly when dribbling. They don’t swap back and forth equally between their feet. Ronaldo dribbles mostly with his right foot and Messi mostly with his left.

Thus, the overall lesson here is to focus on improving your current strength – your strong foot. This will alone make a huge difference. Get REALLY GOOD with your strong foot before even considering your weak foot.

Make sense? Ok good, let’s move on. You know you need to focus on dribbling with strong foot, we can move on.

Technique Part 2

The second part to proper dribbling technique is to understand what part of foot to dribble with.

~ On your strong foot, dribble with either outside and/or inside of foot.

I say either outside or inside of foot. This is true, you can dribble forward using either side of that foot. REMEMBER: there is no regular pattern.

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ You can push the ball forward twice with outside, then once with inside, then once with outside etc etc.

the point is don’t worry about touching ball forward with a regular pattern: inside- outside-inside-outside-inside….

Just focus on using either inside or outside of foot Notice how this player pushes ball forward with when controlling the ball. Whatever works in the outside of foot – BUT toe is pointed diagonally, not moment. completely horizontal

HOWEVER! And a big however. Ultimately you want to get to a point where you push the ball forward primarily with the outside of your foot. The reason I say you can still use both is sometimes you still will use inside which is fine.

And when first start out it’s fine to use both equally. But you want to get to point where your preferred choice is pushing ball forward with outside of foot.

Eliminate any dribbling where the player pushes the ball forward with their toes.

Extra TIP: If player is really young and quite under-developed in terms of dribbling, focus on pushing ball forward with inside. Once he/she progresses, add in outside of foot.

Technique Part 3

Here we want to focus on two things:

~ Ball And foot in front of body. AND: Knees slightly bent.

Ok, so take a look at these pictures. The 1st one shows how a lot of people dribble.

Issue: Ball is underneath the body. This is okay sometimes when standing still, but for the most part when dribbling, the ball should be in front of body.

This is a very common issue. Players have the ball underneath their body. This eliminates valuable seconds in terms of reaction time.

It also makes it very hard to quickly push the ball forward at an angle and beat player in front of you.

Now, take a look at the following picture:

Notice how the ball is in front of the body? This is key. Keep the ball in front of your body as you dribble forward.

Also, notice how the knees are bent. This is good for 2 reasons: 1. It allows you to make quick small steps which is good for quickly changing directions and quickly springing forward.

And 2. The knees bent means that you have your “springs locked and loaded.” The springs (or knees) are ready to spring out and provide a burst of speed so you can blow by your opponent.

Alright, there you have it. The most crucial aspects in terms of proper technique for dribbling. 1. Outside of foot (facing diagonally down, not horizontal) Your dribbling will improve a bunch with these 2. Knees bent; ready for springing forward 3. Ball in front of body key elements alone.

It’s the same drill I use day after day with my students and their dribbling immediately becomes 5 times better. It all comes down to the basic key fundamentals.

Technique Part 4

Ok so the following 2 points are a little bit outside of technique, but are absolutely necessary to start seeing quick success in terms of dribbling.

To start seeing quick success in terms of dribbling and to increase confidence you need to:

~ Learn the basic moves

Learning basic moves gives you something to work with. It enables you to get creative. It gives you ways to get out of trouble. But this is key: learn only a couple at a time and use them often. Don’t switch moves or learn more until you get good at those few.

Learning basic moves from the get-go is crucial. It will help you to understand how to beat other players. It will help you to understand how dribbling works, and what you need to do to blow by a player.

~ Your Steps

1. Start learning basic moves and try them often

2. Basic moves to start with: [Pull back, step over, scissors, cut with inside of foot, cut with outside of foot.]

3. Learn the above simple moves and use often until you get comfortable using them.

Technique Part 5

Ok, this last part about technique is one of my favorites. Because it is a really simple and easy way to quickly improve and understand the difference between having great ball control in small spaces vs. ball control in bigger spaces.

The solution is quite simple, people just don’t understand it.

~ When you need great control and are in tight spaces, take smaller and quicker steps.

1. When you need better ball control in tight spaces you need more touches on the ball

2. The only way to get more touches on the ball is to take smaller and quicker steps with your support foot. Why? Because with every step you force your support foot to take, you are conversely taking a touch on the ball with your strong foot. I.E. Within 2 second if I take two steps with my support foot, I am touching the ball twice with my strong foot. Thus improving ball control.

3. The second you start forcing your support foot to take smaller and quicker steps you will force yourself to take more touches on the ball, thus, improving ball control by a mile in tight spaces…

~ When you have more space and need to go faster, increase the distance you push the ball forward

1. The second you want to increase dribbling speed, increase the distance you push the ball forward.

2. What’s the ideal distance? There is no ideal answer. If you have 50 yards of space in front of you, than “push” the ball 50 yards in front of you and run after the ball. As long as you know you’re the first one to the ball than that is the correct distance.

3. That’s how you improve dribbling speed. By understanding that you should push the ball as far as the space in front of you allows so you can run faster because you are taking less touches on the ball.

Review:

If you want more ball control, take smaller steps and with every step take a touch on the ball.

Alright, now you have the basic fundamental technique aspects you need to apply.

Now we need to work on the proper mindset. This is absolutely of the utter most importance. If you don’t get this part, you will never become a great dribbler. It just won’t happen.

You need to get this and apply it to become a dominant dribbler.

Mindset part 1

The first thing you need to develop is:

~ A risk-taking dribbling mindset

The issue is this: too many players never develop a risk taking mindset when it comes to dribbling. You need to understand this: if you cannot develop a risk-taking dribbling mindset, you will never become a dominant dribbler.

Why? Because you will simply never dribble when it matters. You may even become a great dribbler on your own, or in practices or when it doesn’t count.

But if you can’t get to the point where you are constantly trying new dribbling things in all areas of soccer, then you won’t learn to develop confidence to be able to do it under pressure – where it really counts.

Let me tell you something: Ronaldo, Messi, Pele, Zidane, Ibrahimovic, Suarez, Sanchez, Ronaldinho and Ronaldo ALL became great dribblers because they took those dribbling risks!

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ And guess what? They did it even when people told them not to. Because you will be told not to. You will be told not to by your coaches, by your team-mates (calling for the pass instead) and by your parents. If you’re a parent, don’t discourage this.

The best players are the ones that constantly took risks and still do…

What happens is we think losing the ball, or making a mistake is the end of the world. Let me clarify this with everything I have. You or your players need to take risks!

As a player you need to take players on, and you need to try creative things with the ball… This starts with YOU!

If all you read was this first point in this report, you would be miles ahead of players/coaches/parents. Trust me. Kids need to have the right mindset so they actually take risks.

Think of it this way. If you developed a mindset where you or your players took more risks dribbling what would happen?

They would dribble more, take players on more, and try new things while dribbling. Did you catch that? They would dribble more… There you have it!

If you want their dribbling to improve they need to do it more. It starts with you, do you have what it takes to develop that mindset, and as a coach develop that mindset in them?

As a parent think development over results. As a coach… The same! As a player? Go for it, seriously. Don’t live playing it safe. It’s boring and worst of all you won’t improve like you should.

~ Your Steps

1. Constantly be taking risks dribbling and encourage your players to do so if you’re a coach. Don’t worry about what others say or even if your coach thinks otherwise. Those who grow the fastest are the ones that take risks. It’s really as simple as that.

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ 2. Play for a coach that doesn’t discourage this. As a coach DON’T discourage this. Think development over results. GO FOR IT!

Mindset part 2

The second thing you need to develop is:

~ An Enemy Mindset Against “Pass Always” Mentality

This sounds counter-intuitive doesn’t it? Especially since we live in the era of passing. In the era of Tiki-Taka. Of 1 touch soccer. Of 2 touches drills. And the list goes on and on.

And here’s the thing, nobody is dissing these things. Passing is great, tiki-taka is great. 1 touch soccer is great. It’s great, at the right moment…

The sad part about this massive “passing revolution” is that it leads people to believe that passing is the be all end all.

Get this, Suarez was considered the best player by a mile in the premier league 1 year ago. Why? Because he was the only player that could break a team down dribbling. The only player who knew how to harness his creativity to break down defenses.

In fact we are already seeing how the passing phenomenon is washing away somewhat. The top teams are the ones that combine dribbling, creativity and passing all in one.

But here’s another kicker. Even the best player on the Golden Barcelona team that was the king of all the passing were amazing dribblers! And that dribbling served them well when they needed it. Messi and Iniesta both dribbled a lot! And it worked! In fact it was crucial to their system working because passing alone is predictable.

Those players didn’t grow up only passing in academies! Where do you think they learned to dribble like that? In fact I would argue that their dribbling skill set them apart as the two best players on that team. There were other guys on the team who could pass like the, but couldn’t dribble like them!

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ As such, do me a favor and fight the “pass only” mentality. Do yourself a favor and fight the “pass mentality.” You won’t regret it.

The more you buy into the: “I muss always pass the second I get the ball,” the less you will develop your dribbling. Nobody is saying to never pass quickly, what I’m saying is you must take your moments to try and dribble. To try and make something happen before always just passing.

Therefore your goal is to not buy into that pass always mentality. As a parent, stop always telling your kid to pass. As a coach, don’t worry when a kid tries to dribble, in fact praise him for “giving it a go!” As a player? Dribble, dribble dribble. Don’t even worry if you fail. That’s how you learn.

~ Your Steps

1. Dribble

2. Don’t worry about the negative nancy’s who always tell you to pass. If you do that, you will never improve your dribbling.

3. Encourage your kid, son/daughter, or player to try dribbling

4. Remember, I’m not telling you to constantly dribble and never pass. I’m telling you to take chances and try dribbling sometimes, I’m telling you to understand that dribbling is effective and necessary often.

Part 3: Dribbling Development Secrets

Alright, now you have the basic fundamental technique aspects you need to apply.

You have the right mindset to succeed in dribbling and to actually do it!

Now we need to work on the proper environments you need to put yourself in. Get this, and the dribbling will come naturally. You won’t even have to worry about it. By putting yourself in these scenarios along with the technique and mindset, you will thrive.

Dribbling Development secret part 1

The first environment secret is:

~ Having lots of different balls in lots of different places

Sounds simple eh? Ground-breaking? I know it comes across kind of underwhelming. But to be honest, this is ground-breaking for various reasons.

1. It’s easy to apply 2. It’s works like magic 3. It’s fun 4. And it develops your dribbling AND your overall ball control (the most fundamental aspect of soccer) like crazy!

Do this, and you will constantly be getting practice in like nobody else. Your touch, dribbling, and ball control will sky-rocket. You will be getting thousands of more touches than your opponent. Your kid will stand above the rest.

And your confidence will sky-rocket as well since improved ball control is the #1 way to better confidence.

~ Your Steps

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ 1. Buy a bunch of different types of balls (tennis balls, size 5 soccer balls, size 4, size 3’s, street soccer balls, cushion balls, ping pong balls and whatever else you can think of)

2. Keep those balls everywhere. In your room, in your bag, in your living room, in your bathroom etc.

3. Any chance you get, get some touches on those balls, do different patterns, practice juggling, practice balancing on your head. Get creative.

This is exactly what all the top ball-controllers in the world have done, whether on purpose or not. Maradona is famous for being able to juggle a tennis ball, a ping pong ball, even an apple! And because of all that practice, of all those thousands of touches he got, he excelled. We live in an age where nobody does this. Do this with your kid, with yourself or whoever, and you will be light years ahead.

Dribbling Development secrets part 2

The second environment secret is:

~ Playing in non-traditional places as often as possible

The 3rd step is to start playing in “non-traditional” places.

Soccer is easy in North America. We have more grass fields, turf fields, open parks and just space in general than any other place in the world.

It would seem to be a good thing. But guess what? That leads to a lack of creativity, and a lack of dribbling. Playing in the same old big turf/grass field is predictable.

And, now England and Europe in general are coming under fire. Why? Because there are too many academies, fields and clubs that nobody is playing in these “non- traditional” places anymore. It’s a big reason as to why Africa and South America continue to churn out top quality players even though they are more disorganized than everyone else.

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ There’s a lack of obstacles in the normal places players tend to play at. Players get used to it. Play in non-traditional places where you are forced to adapt to smaller spaces, to a different surface, and different obstacles such as trees and curbs.

Whenever you can, play in non-traditional places. Whether that be on your own or with other players. It will force you to improve your thinking, your ball-control, and your creativity.

Play in places where you make your own nets, where you have to dribble around obstacles, where you have to adapt. Get outside of the comfort zones. We both know you play enough in comfortable scenarios anyways.

This will SKY-ROCKET dribbling & creativity. In fact, most top players in the world played in “non-traditional” places.

~ Your Steps

1. Look for leagues other than the ordinary. i.e. parks, gyms, indoor, and anything related to street soccer.

2. Look for clubs/coaches that set up different types of training outside of the constant “normal.” Do they play 1on1’s? 2on2’s? 3on3’s? It’s shocking, the number of clubs/coaches that only play kids in big games and big drills where kids face real game-like scenarios not nearly enough.

3. Go out on your own and dribble around trees, through parks, around benches, through the skateboard park, on the sidewalk etc etc… Don’t leave the ball just for the turfs or grass fields. Bring it when you’re walking to school.

4. Play with someone in your garage, your backyard, your street, or your skateboard park. Play anywhere that’s not the normal places to mix it up.

Final Part: Amazing Add-On to Bring it All Together

Alright, you’re almost done. You have essentially completed the 3 step system you need to implement to start becoming a dominant dribbler. You will thank me later. I am really good dribbler and still get complimented on my dribbler skills often.

It has helped me in my game a ton. And it’s fun.

But I have one more part for you to understand.

~ Learn to Stack moves

Remember how I told you to learn the basic moves? Well, once you get good at the basic moves, as well as improve your overall dribbling you need to understand the power of stacking moves.

What is it? Stacking of moves is essentially doing moves one after another. It’s critical because:

1. It REALLY makes you be able to make your opponent look silly

2. It will enable you to keep the ball longer and extend dribbling plays where you normally would have lost the ball

3. It’s the secret sauce to building unstoppable combinations.

4. Often, against really good defenders the first move won’t work, so with stacking you simply add on a second move immediately after the first.

5. Why does stacking work? Because it’s hard enough to stop one move, or one dribble attempt. With stacking you are building on the momentum you’ve already gained from your first move or dribble. With your first attempt you often gain a little ground where the defender is trying to catch you, if you immediately pull a second move, you will often dump in behind you and you end up looking like a star.

As such, start experimenting with different stacking options. Learn a move, then stack on a different move.

1. Go out and find some training space

2. Start dribbling with the ball and to begin with, practice doing 1 move at a time.

3. Now that you’re comfortable doing 1 move at a time. Begin stacking the moves. Experiment putting different moves together. Make your own combinations. Have fun with it.

4. I have a different product where I teach the only 3 scenarios you need a move plus the top “Go-To” moves for each one of those scenarios. It talks about stacking moves in more detail. Email me if you want that.

Conclusion

There you have it. This is no magic formula… Why? Because there is none. BUT, if you want the real way to develop phenomenal dribblers, this is it. In fact, although there’s no simple formula, it’s truly phenomenal how quickly you can see results and get better dribblers.

Start applying these steps and you will quickly see results. Keep at it, and they will become phenomenal dribblers.

Alright guys there you have it. Apply those things and you will see the changes. Any remember:

Application > Perfect

What does that mean? It means that don’t wait for the perfect moment, place, ball, or just overall timing to do something. Start applying and the results will come. It will never be perfect, no player is or has perfect technique.

The point is they applied and risked. Do the same…

My genuine hope is that you “get it.” Some people in North America for example just don’t get it when you explain it to them. They hear small spaces, street soccer, more touches, and non-traditional places? No thanks, I prefer my regular big field where kids wait in line ups all day long.

Read this report, go to bed, get up and read it again. Apply.

All the best,

Joey

P.S. If there is any extra I can do please let me know. I would love to hear how this report has helped you.

P.P.S. You got a chance at extra offers when you got this report. You may have passed before, but if you are still interested in either, I would love to allow you a second look.

Simply keep a lookout in the emails you will be receiving from me.

Alright guys, I wanted to give you one more little gift. This is one of my favorite drills. I use it all the time with my students.

People rave about the results that are more often than not coming from this drill. I’t's simple, it’s fun, and it works on critical things.

Do not for a second be put out by the simplicity. It’s simple on purpose.

Here’s a groundbreaking thought for you.

There are only a handful of drills in the world. Everything is a variation of those handful of drills. And the best ones? Are the simple ones.

For one, the simple ones can be varied to accommodate all skill levels, and 2, they are the best because kids grasp them quickly so they can improve quickly.

Finally, the simple drills allow for the players performing them to have to come up with solutions on their own which is a development secret in itself.

Read on and enjoy,

Alright guys, I have an absolutely awesome drill for you. This is the exact same drill I use for my 1on1’s where people absolutely rave about the results their kids get.

If you want to learn:

1. The number 1 way to start dribbling like Messi. 2. Understand how he gets by players with ease. 3. Quickly improve ball control. 4. And understand the most basic and best way to beat a player in a 1on1

Then you are at the right place!

This drill is the best way to use the methods I described in the “3 Step System to Dribbling” product.

Also, this dribbling drill is built around a “free-flowing” building block in order to make it game-like. What do I mean by that?

What I’m saying is that tons of drills you see nowadays really aren’t game realistic at all. They are also very robotic. They require no thinking from the player. They only have one outcome, they only give you one solution that you are supposed to achieve.

This drill and most of the awesome drills I use are built around giving the player freedom to expand whatever they are doing within the drill. The entire drill itself is about making your own decisions. It’s free-flowing. Within the drill there are tons of different variations. You are constantly making new decisions within the drill. You can constantly make it better, and improve within the drill due to the limitless options.

Those are the powerful drills. And the great part is that they are WAY simpler than most drills nowadays. Forget about the complicated drills. Try to come up with ones that are game-like and where you have different options within the drill. A dribbling

You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ drill where you can dribble in tons of different directions, instead of going left at cone A, and right at cone B, and performing a “Maradona” on cone C. How does that help? It doesn’t’ help much, that’s the problem….

Your Technique For This Drill

You need to understand a couple of things regarding technique. I talk about these things in detail in the “3 Step System to Dribbling” product.

You need to:

1. Focus on using your dominant foot only for now.

2. When dribbling, keep the ball along with the foot pushing it forward slightly in front of your body

3. You need to keep your knees slightly bent so you’re ready to change directions quickly and spring forward or to the sides.

4. And finally you need to use either outside or inside of your foot according to what’s easiest at the time of dribbling.

5. Remember to take shorter steps when you want tight control, and bigger steps when you want to go faster and have more space.

Look at the image. Ball is slightly in front of body.

The ball is being pushed forward with outside of the foot (bent towards ground at angle, not horizontal foot)

Knees are slightly bent so player is ready to bounce out of spring with speed and power.

Apply these principles alone and you’re dribbling will improve a ton. Simple mechanics that work.

The Drill

This drill is going to teach you:

1. The simplest and first way you should learn to get by players in 1on1’s 2. How to improve ball control 3. How to dribble like Messi 4. How to improve cutting when dribbling 5. How to improve quickness of thought when dribbling 6. And will improve your overall touch in tight spaces.

Layout part 1 of drill

~ Learning how to control the ball in tight spaces and turn quickly

1. Use a space that is roughly 7 by 8 yards, or mark out a space the same size

2. Level Easy: Put down about 5-7 cones positioned randomly around the inside space (That’s it! Drill is ready. Level Medium, a Hard are progressions)

3. Level Medium: Put down roughly 4 more cones randomly

4. Level Hard: Put down roughly 4 more cones making the area congested and tight with cones

Now, this picture is showing this drill at high difficulty level. The space is smaller, and there are a lot of cones for how small the space is.

Which is my point, this drill can be adapted to all levels. You can make it quite easy, and you can make it really hard.

And it’s on cement! Which makes it even more uncomfortable, especially if you only play on grass or turf.

This drill can be used anywhere with literally just a ball. If you don’t have cones, use some objects.

But back to drill. Random cones, so he can randomly start dribbling through cones making tight turns, going left on cones, going right on cones, and making quick cuts.

Progression and what to focus on:

1. Start by simply dribbling through cones. Practice getting as many touches on the ball as possible 2. Start making tighter turns through the cones. Take it to level 2 and put more cones down. 3. As you get more and more comfortable simply add more cones and start dribbling through and around cones even faster. 4. Keep the ball in front of you and use outside or inside of foot at all times.

Layout part 2 of drill

~ Learning how to get by your defenders when going straight at them

So, what is the most basic way and the beginning way you should ever learn to get around other players?

When running at your defender, if you are right footed and you plan to beat him to the right you use the outside of your right foot, push the ball past him and quickly accelerate.

If you want to beat him to the left use the inside of your right foot (if you’re right footed) and push the ball past him and quickly accelerate.

Does that sound simple and dumb? Well, first off it is simple, but secondly, it’s not dumb.

Watch Messi and that’s all he does. BUT, he has amazing ball control, the ball stays on his foot, and he can quickly push it to either side of you and keep the ball outside of your reach.

So let’s get started with the second part.

1. Use a space that is roughly 7 by 8 yards, or mark out a space the same size

2. Level Easy (start here): Put down about 4-5 cones positioned randomly around the inside space

3. Start dribbling directly at the cones as if they are defenders. Once you get closer to the cone (defender) quickly push ball to outside of defender and accelerate.

4. Repeat process continuously as you dribble at different cones.

5. Level Medium: Simply add more cones and force yourself to perform the move quicker

Level Hard: Combine dribbling in and amongst cones mixed in with dribbling straight at cones (as if they were defenders).

Why this Drill works:

First off, you are getting tons of touches in this drill. Secondly, it’s open ended. Meaning, there are tons of different ways to navigate and perform stunts amongst the cones. Thirdly, it forces you to improve ball control in tight spaces. It improves your ball control on your strong foot. And it works on most effective way to get by a player.

And finally, it teaches you how to quickly and unpredictably get by your defenders.

Variations

When I told you this drill was powerful I wasn’t joking. You could literally do hours and hours of progressions/variations with this drill to improve dribbling, touch, ball control, and creativity.

In fact, it’s what I use daily and it produces amazing results.

Take a look at all the options you can do with it:

1. Practice changes of direction. Dribble to a cone and quickly change directions while keeping close control of the ball. 2. Practice any kind of 1on1 move you have by using the cones as defenders. 3. Practice quick turns using the outside and insides of your foot 4. Your drills?

Why is it called the Messi drill?

Ready to start improving your kid’s soccer development? Apply these principles and you will see their development sky-rocket. You can also make it WAY easier and join the Street Side Soccer Sessions.. http://streetsidesoccer.com/ Because Messi doesn’t use fancy footwork. He simply has amazing ball control and the ball stays tight to his feet when in traffic. This drill will work on that.

Furthermore, he predominantly uses his left foot AND essentially just beats you by keeping the ball tight to his foot and going around you.

The second part of the drill (very slight variation) shows you exactly how he beats players in a straight on 1on1.

Conclusion

I work non-stop at developing improved ball control, dribbling and creativity. I always go back to this drill.

The problem nowadays is that people have complicated drills and how they work. This is simple, easy to do, and works on all the aspects you need.

To your success,
