That's why you see pros so relaxed because there focusing on technique and have patients to perform it correctly instead of rushing because of fake pressure.
BRO PLSSS DONT STOP UPLOADING QUALITY VIDEOS LIKE THESE BROOO this is the type of content we footballers need not that garbage learn 30 skills in 10 mins bs. the difference of an amateur footballer and a world class elite footballer is not the skill but the decision making speed + IQ not the technique !!!!, this is a quote my coach from arsenal back when i was academy baller u15s. I dont mind watching 2hr stuff like these its like actually being in a quality 1-1 session rn but just watching it on the palm of my hands !!!. Wish you all the best and more views and you get bigger with your channel bro love what you do
Hi , i am a 12 year old footballer from Slovakia. Just wanna say thank you because your videos gave me much knowledge that i needed. Keep up the good work !
These type of videos help you even if you are at level -100 but you have to apply it not only watch the video and thats it. Thank you coach for this video
thank you man I’m beginning my football journey. Here we don’t have that much equipments only ball and field. Can you make a video of warmup drills & exercises like I want to learn from start. Please guide 🙏
Still it seemed like the last guy was forcing it. I mean when you were controlling the ball so you positioned your body in such a way that your leg did not needed to go above your waist but the last guy was still not able to do so. He was improving but still a little bit composure and focuse on body positioning would help him. I think he can fix this by focusing on the ball while its in the air instead of thinking about his next action. He can think about the next action before the ball is in air or moving towards him so he can perform an effective first touch.
Question about cushioning the first touch; My logic is also telling me to receive the ball with the side front part of the foot, instead of the side back part of the foot (in other words, with the side part of the toes instead of the side part of the heel); because the toes can rebound in the opposite direction of the direction the received ball came from, and thus not be able to return the force of the ball back to it (Newton's 3rd law), as there is no longer any prolonged contact between the foot and the ball, opposing the scenario where the ball hit the side of the back part of my foot, which can not swing left and right and would return the force back to the ball, which is bad. I've never consciously tried this. Is this correct, would this make for a better First Touch? It's like hitting a wall which doesn't move and returns the force back to your hand, damaging it; and using your fist to hit something which the hit manages to move, and which can no longer return (as much of) the force, because there is no longer any contact for the reacting force to act on the initial object (your fist) that caused the initial force. Or another example, if you push someone and fail to move them, you get pushed back off of them instead. The ball can much more easily move your toes, than it can move your leg below the knee (or it may even need to move your entire leg), so would receiving the ball with the side part of my toes be a better cushion than with the middle-side / back-side part of my foot? Though I suspect that receiving the ball with the side of the front part of my foot is harder, since the surface is smaller; and that there is also a risk that if I meet it with the front-most part of the side of my foot, the ball may rebound its direction 90 degrees and go away from me, instead of losing all speed and stopping at my position.
This is a really cool video by the way, I haven't finished it yet, but so far it's cleared up a lot of my issues managing a consistent First Touch. Thanks !
Answer to the first part is I think thats over thinking it. I don’t think of it at all because It comes to me natural but if you are learning and or trying to improve its always good idea to just stick with using the inside of your foot
@@footballfundamental Thanks for the response! I use the inside of my foot, I was just wondering if I should use the front part of the inside (the inside part of the toes) because they aren't as stiff as the back of the foot and won't return the force to the ball.
@pot7979 I think I understand what you're asking. That's a good question and your logic about the physics of the toes vs heel makes sense, but I think the answer is actually neither! There’s a reason why players are taught from a young age to not hit the ball with their toes - due to our toes’ natural shape, very small surface area, and hardness, when they contact the ball, there’s very little room for error. It’s nearly impossible to consistently use your toes to control the ball. Yes, as you mentioned, they do spring back when in contact with the ball, but that action is all about the ankle flexibility, not the toes themselves. Now to the heel - I’ve played high school, club, ODP, college, and semi-professional soccer, and I can’t think of a time I’ve ever controlled the ball with my heel! You’re correct about the physics of it being a less-responsive area of the foot, but it’s such an oddly positioned surface, it doesn’t seem practical to use for controlling the ball. The instep however (the space between the toes and heel and slightly below your laces) is the sweet spot. It’s the widest, flattest, softest area of your foot, and when receiving the ball, your instep is part of a perfect system made up of your ankle, knee, and hip joints, that can calibrate instantly how much cushion is needed to perfectly control the ball.
Best Advice for young players, use this channel as a tool its hard to find people that know as much about the game as Football Fundamental
Thanks man 🙏🙏
That's why you see pros so relaxed because there focusing on technique and have patients to perform it correctly instead of rushing because of fake pressure.
I agree, patience is key.
Really good one ... Pick up a thing or two .... You're Awesome Sir
That is great to hear 🥰🥰

Appreciate the love, I'm glad you found it helpful!
I was struggling from first touch before this video
Thank you
Amazing! I am glad. Which info was the most useful?
@@footballfundamentalthe idea of cushioning is the best part. It really is true. And also relaxing before the touch
2:34 Loved what you said here
I agree that’s actually, one of my favourite part too 🥰
I won my football match 3-2 an i got a goal and an assist couldn’t have done it without u
That’s amazing!

I will work on that
Hey, I’m a beginner and I’m a little slow, but not too slow and a little more than the heavier side could you tell me what position I should be on
Hey I couldn’t tell you a specific position without knowing what you are good or bad at

How do you think a fullback can stand out and make the difference
Strong, fast, and if they don’t over-commit attacking
Hey coach I want to ask you how do you think i should play small sided games should I just driblle
No you should pass and move off the ball, just like how you would play full field
But the people I play with don't pass
@ well that’s not good
I’m tall ,good running ,good dribbling but I have problem control and long pass can if left winger😢
@BikramjitOinam-c8x does this video help with your control?
Can I play left wing if I have this
This won’t be enough but its a start go to my main channel page and look for winger tips playlist!
