DOUBLE-DOUBLE THIS-THIS
Ball touch is no doubt the backbone of soccer. Without a feel for the ball you can't receive it, control it, dribble it, pass it, get your head up to plan your next move, relax and flow through the game. A great "dance" I teach all my players is to:
Double, Double, this, this
Double, Double, that, that
Double this
Double that
Double, double, this, that
At double you touch the ball gently forward with your instep. At this you nudge with the inside. And at that you tap forward with the outside. Every step is a touch, even if you miss the ball you keep the rhythm going, gaining tighter control and building the tempo. Both the left and the right foot are of course used.
