“You’ve go to be kidding?” I asked “That was a definite dive!”, but the referee was having none of it and duly awarded a penalty. These things happen as part and parcel of the game but when it’s on your debut for a club that’s just made you their highest paid player the timing could have been better it’s got to be said! I remonstrated long enough to annoy the penalty taker and somehow still managed to avoid a yellow. It was a penalty, that I couldn’t deny, but the fact that it was totally my causing made it worse. A routine through ball which required a basic sliding gather of the ball saw me bring my knees in to protect me far too early and the ball bounced off my knees and into the path of the onrushing striker. Panic always sets in then as you have just a split second to attack the ball again, except that I didn’t, I chose to go straight for his legs as he’d just drawn level with me and I was still on the floor. I managed to get enough traction to push myself into his path and outstretched my arm to successfully deny him an open goal. Quite how I never received a card for it I’ll never know but I was always lucky with referees in that regards. I’ve always tried to treat the referees with huge respect as I could never do that job and I hope that the fact that I caused them relatively few headaches during my career helped to appease them a little in situations such as these. My mistake, sorry boys, but now it’s up to me to do something about it.
Here are a few basic footbag maneuvers you’ll need in order to excel in the sport, as well as one move that’s a bit more advanced. Practice these every day, and not only will you be ready for soccer season, you’ll have gained a valuable and impressive new skill.
Kick. This is the simplest footbag maneuver, and it’s exactly what it sounds like: Kicking the bag. There are three basic kicks you’ll want to learn: The inside kick, wherein you kick the bag with the inside of your foot; the outside kick, wherein you kick the bag with the outside of your foot; and the toe kick.
I have been the head coach of my current team for about 1,5 years now, and during that period, we have done a total of 3 sessions (!) where we exclusively focused on conditioning, not related to regular soccer training. Those 3 sessions where done as a Plan B because our training field was covered in snow.
Our philosophy on conditioning for soccer players is that everything can (and should) be performed on the soccer field, during regular soccer training. And most of those sessions can be done with the soccer ball.
For instance, let me give you one example of one of the absolute best drills to improve the players condition as well as their ability to make good decisions during a soccer game:
= Small-Sided Games
The variations are endless, and by making a few small adjustments, you make these drills so intense and demanding that it’s insane.
At the end of a game when the players are tired, the team where the players can make the best decisions is the team that will win the game. Sure, you may be able to run a mile at a pretty decent time, but that’s got nothing to do with soccer.
Over-and-Under. This is the most advanced move on this list, and can take weeks to learn, even if you’ve mastered the more basic moves presented here. First, kick the ball into play from a toe stall. Then twirl the kicking foot around your other leg and catch the ball in an inside stall. Then toss it back into play and keep going
