Soccer Freestyle

What is Soccer Freestyle?

You may have heard this new term floating around the soccer world called soccer freestyle but what is it actually? Well, as it sounds, freestyle in soccer is about doing tricks while juggling a ball with different parts of your body (head, shins, knees etc). You may perform freestyle tricks while you are sitting, standing or sitting on the ground.

A good soccer freestyler is creative and can produce his/her own tricks. Freestyle in soccer is something that you can do on any place. The only thing you need is a ball and little space. To become a good freestyler you need to practice a lot, have patience and the most important thing: have fun!


Benefits of soccer freestyle

The main benefit of soccer freestyle is that you will improve your coordination, balancing and ball control. It will be easier to perform advanced soccer moves like double scissors or Ronaldinho move. But if you just want to freestyle and don’t want to improve your soccer game, the main benefit of free-styling in soccer will be improved health condition.

• As a soccer player you need to have dedication and patience to learn different freestyle soccer tricks. On this way you will improve your motivation to practice more and to become better soccer player. As you already know the more you practice the better soccer player you will be.

• By practicing on your freestyle trick you will became more creative on soccer field and develop fast thinking abilities. You may also develop some own soccer movements that are unknown to others. On this way you will get advantage over you opponents and dominate your games.

Downside of soccer freestyle

Free-styling in soccer may look cool and great to watch on but on soccer field you will not have any benefits of your free-styling. You cannot start to perform an around the world in hope to fool your opponent.

But of course your opponent may get confused and wonder what is going on. As a freestyler you will have tremendous ball control but you will probably lack in other soccer attributes that you will need during a soccer game.

• As a soccer player you need to meet the in-game physical demand such as stamina, balance, agility, speed and acceleration which requires special fitness training

• Mental preparation as decision making, position, team work and other aspects that are required during a soccer game

• Control and technique with the ball:soccer dribbling, soccer shooting, soccer kick, soccer passing, etc. which needs to be practiced regularly

Others experience

Some soccer players that I personally know have reported that watching freestyle clips have helped them improve their game by several levels. They said also that other difficult soccer moves (like mentioned Ronaldinho) becomes much easier to perform after gaining some basic freestyle soccer skills.
