Almost everyone wants to score goals when they play soccer. After all, that is the “goal” of the game. However, you will spend far more time controlling the ball on the field than you will shooting on goal. This is why you must develop a solid set of core skills that enable you to control the ball. The more “touches” you get on the ball the easier this will be. When you walk around your house take the ball with you. (don’t use your hands) Try dribbling with your weak foot only. Pick one of the basic skills a day and try to improve. The more time you spend controlling the ball the better you will be at it.
