Do you want to become a better footballer ? Without equipment (just ball and shoes) and all by yourself ? Then our latest YouTube video is very helpful for you.
Sure, with the right training equipment or a personal trainer you can get even more out of your individual sessions, but training yourself without equipment is a very good starting point to become better than the competition.
Let’s look at the individual topics we will train:
1. Ball control
Such exercises are very suitable as a warm-up. First, you should concentrate on the exercise execution, followed by an increase in speed (you can take risks here too). You should also try to regularly take your eyes off the ball to get a better overview.
2. Speed
You need to be 100% warmed up before you start the sprints. We're already including the sprints here because your legs need to be fresh to make it possible to increase your speed. You should take a break of around 2 minutes between each sprint. Quality over quantity also applies here, which means that you only do 4 sprints for both exercises.
3. Passing exercises and ball receptions
In these exercises you will train clean ball reception and the quality of your passing. First we will start with flat passes, where you have to make sure that the passes are flat and accurate. In addition, the ball reception should not be too close, but also not too far away from the body. Over time you can increase the speed of the exercise.
4. Ball receptions from the air
First, you train the feeling with the inside and outside. In the third exercise, the focus is on receiving the ball from the air while running. Take the ball properly while running (but not too far) and then build up speed with the ball at your feet before you break off.
5. Shooting exercises
You will now first practice different shot variations. The focus is on finishing with the full instep, the inside and a few volleys. First pay attention to the precision and then to the power of the shot. You can then practice finishing from the run with integrated feints.
6. Strength training
Finally, you can add some basics to build strength and stability in your body. If you are more advanced, you can of course do a lot more or do your strength training at a different time. Here we show you three exercises for the upper body. One for the core, one for the chest, shoulder muscles and triceps, and one for the back muscles and biceps.
