If you want to become a better player these are five soccer training drills I want you to add to your current routine. If you don't know about me I used to be a huge underachiever but through obsessive self-improvement I found my success. Earned a college scholarship played for my national foot salt team a YouTube channel with over 100 million views I've helped players worldwide and I'd love to help you improve faster and achieve more. Can work on my mobility side to side. Really pushing it out, feeling the groin, feeling the hips, loosening up. So if you're an athlete right now you consider yourself an athlete. You're going to go and play 90 minutes, you're going to work as hard as you can. You're going to be sprinting all over the pitch. But you don't even have the mobility to come here or you cannot even touch your toes. You're asking to get injured. So to make yourself a better athlete, focus on mobility. This is one exercise I love and one I would recommend that you add into your routine. The next thing that I would suggest you add is some form of agility training. So you don't even need a ladder. You can do things like this working on a line. Okay but actually forcing your feet to go faster than they're used to. So I like using the ladder. I'll just do different exercises. I'd usually go through it really quick. Maybe it only take me like three minutes. But doing this daily makes me a lot sharper. So singles. Doubles focus on the arm movement. Just as much as the feet. Sideways. To slalom. Okay and when you get tired it's so easy just to give up and go slower. That's when you need to push the most. These are going to be struggling in the beginning. They're going to make your feet feel really heavy. You're going to feel out of shape. This is good fitness, good stamina as well. Another one I might do. Pour it back. Okay but adding some form of agility training to your soccer training. It's going to make you a better athlete. Next thing that I want you to add to your training is actually sprinting. So in between. Focus on recovery. If you're ever tired in a game and you just say like this. mouth open. Big heavy panting. Just thinking about how tired you are. You're not going to recover as quickly as if you think about controlling your breath. Calm in the breath. nasal breathing through the nose. Focus on recovery as quickly as possible. Calm in the breath. Not a panicked rush breath. So if you want to be faster we actually have to practice the skill of running. Skill of sprinting. So I might just do like six sprints. Five six sprints. But I'm not just sprinting to get myself tired. I'm sprinting thinking about how can I get faster. So I'm thinking about the technique of sprinting. So I might just do like to the camera maybe that's 20 yards. Focus on accelerations. But here. Just a short distance like that. Walk back recover. Focus on the breathing. You're doing this for speed and opera stamina. So let yourself recover in between. You can do different types of starts. So maybe starting from quick feet. Hang on. You can go from your chest. From a jump. So jumping landing. Push off from the ground. But focus on the technique of sprinting. So acceleration. Want to stay lower. First couple steps. I'm staying low. Pushing staying low. Over time. Let's say after those 30 yards. Then I'm finally coming up. Most kids. Start down here. First step. Boom. They're already up straight. Okay. So try to keep that forward. Let forward lean.

Through those first three steps. So add mobility. Add agility. Add speed. The stuff you don't necessarily want to do. And I want you to change your mentality towards that. Because you like juggling this ball. You like kicking it. It's fun to you. So you keep doing it. You keep getting better at it. I have to like sprinting. And that may seem like something you don't want to do. But if you can adopt that mentality, I like doing physical work. I like working hard. Because it's going to make me perform better on the pitch. Then suddenly the agility stuff becomes easier. The sprinting, the speed stuff, it becomes easier. So change your mentality towards it. And you're going to be a better player because of it. Once you've done the hard stuff, the stuff you don't necessarily want to do. Do that stuff at the beginning of your session. When you're sharp, when your energy's high, do that stuff. Don't wait till the end when you're tired. Because then you're going to leave early. You're going to cheat yourself. Do that hard stuff. Get it out of the way. Become a better athlete. Then get on the ball. Do the stuff that you want to do. The stuff that you love to do. So one thing I want you to add is maybe you're working a little bit of ball control. But I always talk about it. Add that directional ball control. That matriolistic ball control. Moving with the ball. Running with the ball. Okay. After that, you're going to add shooting. And you're not going to do stand-stale dead balls the whole time. You're going to do realistic shooting. Yes, you have to practice free kicks, of course. You have to have that ability. What? I want you practicing shooting off the turn. Shooting after a little bit of skill. Shooting with both feet. And practicing different types of shooting. Are you only capable of striking the ball with your laces on your strong foot? Or can you curl the ball inside and outside of the foot? Do you have the ability to strike shots with both feet to hit the net consistently? What about half-voils? Full-voils. But from now on, every time you go to the fuel by yourself, I want you to practice shooting. Different techniques. Regardless of your position, 100 shots a day, minimum. The more reps you get, I guarantee you're going to feel like a different player. If you practice shooting every single day, work on the ball striking. You're going to become deadly attacker, deadly in front of goal. Even if you're a center back, having that ability, knowing that anytime you're around the net, you can get a shot off. And you can score a goal for your team. It's going to give you a new sense of confidence. So add these soccer training drills to your current training routine.
