Best Exercise for Ball Control
Best Exercise for Ball Control!
When it comes to ball control you'll
find you are at best
your best when you are completely confident in one or two moves.
At training I usually give kids the option to perform their
favorite move.
I ask so what do you want to do?
At least 70% of the time I get a big smile and, "The Maradona!"
My response is almost always, "Ok... do you do that in the game?"
Player: "No!"
Me: "What about practice?"
Player: 'No"
Me: "Why not?"
Player: "It's really hard."
There are many fakes and feints you can practice and perform.
When you practice them daily you can really improve your confidence
and use them automatically in your games.
But I feel the best skills are the ones you are actually going to use in games adn pressure situations.
That's why my favorite practice skill is called "baby v's".
Players usually laugh at the name - but when they do the skill everyday they start to develop amazing ball control. Plus their confidence skyrockets.
The very act of performing baby v's every day increases
the players ability to move the ball away from defenders in tight spaces.
And when combined with
a quick turn and acceleration to open space
you make yourself
into a dangerous attacker.
If you'd like to learn how to practice this
wonderful exercise "baby v's" I'll be glad
to show you in a Complimentary Consulting session.
Send your email now and I'll schedule your session asap. nberentis@gmail.com
Practice hard!

Never Give in and Never Give UP
Never Give In or Up
Years ago when my wfie and I first started dating she used to go
shoppong all the time.
I wanted to spend all my time with her so
even though I didn't like shoppping I'd ask to tag along.
My favorite shopping trips (sarcasm) were thoe search for shoes.
During one saturday excursion we visited 10 different stores,
called at least 4 other stres and I put about 200 miles on my car.
that day her shopping excursions became known as "The Great
Wild Goose Chase."
My wife was relentless - she never gave in. She knew exactly what
shoes she wanted and she was
DETERMINED to get them. She could not be deterred. She would NOT
GIVE UP!
Over the years I've been able to identify in myself and others
the key elemennts of a "NEVER GIVE UP" attitude.
And
i've had great success developing a "NEVER GIVE UP"
attitude in players of all ages.
And this year I'm even more
committed to making that happen for
even more players.
That's why I've come up with a new
component in my training programs.
So I've decided to toss in the new component as a bonus gift
for players so they have a competitive edge.
In fact, I want you to start the next season with a "NEVER GIVE
UP' attitude
and end the season with the same level of energy and passion.
So if you are itching to see the "NEVER GIVE UP" attitude
in your child
and think that attitude is a crucial element to achieving more success on the
field in 2013
why don't you give them the gift of a complimentary training consultaiton NOW.
Sometimes it's a simple change in perspective that can catapult you
into playing at a much higher level.
Play with passion,

End Worry, Struggle and Blame on the Soccer Field
I've coached and played in hundreds of games - so I've had my share of bad ref's and calls that didn't go my way.
When your in the moment bad calls are frustrating. And the easy thing to do is blame. Its a normal response .
For example:
The ball clearly bounces off the other team out of bounds - yet the AR gives the throw-in to the other team.
OR
The ref isn't calling any fouls even when the other team pulls you down from behind with both hands and takes the ball from you.
It's easy to get distracted and to start blaming the refs and opponents for things not going your way. And chances are you are probably right.
But any time you divert your attention and focus from dribbling, passing and shooting - you will start to struggle. Any time you choose to blame others you can almost guarantee you will start to make more mistakes.
Pretty soon your focus snowballs into how many mistakes you are making and you start to worry .
Blame is a poison... that only hurts yourself. The more you blame others - the more YOU suffer
Fortunately the antidote to blame is to decide that you want to build internal confidence and dump the poisonous blame into the toilet.
Recently one of my teams got blown out in the 2nd half. They lost big time. And I could here some of the players blaming everyone else and taking no responsibility for their effort.
I had to change the focus... and FAST!
So I decided to change the warm up for our next game. Instead of going through our regular drills I focused on one drill. For 20 minutes all we focused on, talked about, and did was work on being first to the ball.
Then I took our focus to the next level.
We needed a simple tool we could use that would remind us to double our energy up and to be first to the ball. We used tugging on our ear as our physical trigger and reminder to get to the ball first.
Any time we were lagging I would get their attention and tug on my ear. Immediately the girls would tug their own ear and double their effort to the ball.
Pretty soon everyone on the team was reminding each other to be 1st to the ball.
The next 2 games were amazing! We dominated control of the ball for over 90% of the time in both games. We played 95% of the game on the opponents side of the field.
It's amazing to me how successful you can be when you decide to focus on your goals and jobs on the field with passion instead of blaming others for your mistakes. If you are stuck in blame, worry and struggle why not change your focus to one simple task.
I hope you see the power this message has and you find a way to use in your own training. It's a different approach to the game that hardly anyone knows about.
It's another great tool for your soccer success toolbox.
