In today's video we show you three challenging juggling exercises that you can do to improve your general technique. Juggling doesn't help you directly in a soccer game, but it helps you enormously if you want to improve your ball control and your general ball feel, for example. You can incorporate these exercises into your warm-up or cool-down and you will notice how you become more confident with the ball. Watch the whole video with the explanations of the three exercises on YouTube.
Why juggling exercises are important
improving ball control
Juggling requires constant ball contact, which improves your feel for the ball. By juggling regularly, you learn to control the ball better and refine your technique.
Promoting concentration and coordination
Juggling requires a high level of concentration and coordination. These exercises not only train your football skills, but also your mental strength by forcing you to stay focused and perform precise movements.
strengthening both feet
Juggling exercises encourage you to use both feet equally, which helps you improve your ambidexterity. This makes you more versatile on the court and less predictable for your opponents.
Additional tips for juggling exercises
Regularity is the key
To really make progress, you should incorporate these exercises into your training regularly. We recommend doing the exercises at least three times a week for 30 minutes each time.
focus on technology
It is important that you focus on the correct technique during each exercise. Make sure you hit the ball precisely and execute your movements cleanly.
Integrate juggling into training
Include juggling exercises in your warm-up or cool-down to continuously improve your technique and warm up or relax your muscles.
