Juggling the soccer ball is a good way to kill a few free minutes or challenge your friend to a quick competition. But since you don't juggle in a game, can it really make you a significantly better player on the field? Yes, and in more ways than you might realize. The abilities that you can gain from juggling a soccer ball can translate onto the field. From having enough skill to be able to bring a ball down from the air or from a goal kick, to having the right coordination to be able to handle a bouncing ball as well as your overall touch of the soccer ball. Improved eye-foot coordination - Having good foot-eye coordination is essential to being a good soccer player, juggling is a great way to increase it. Helps with receiving the ball in the air - Want to be a master ball receiver? DO NOT GIVE UP! You don't have to be perfect today. You don't have to juggle 100 times by tomorrow. All you have to do is be better than you were yesterday. I always challenge my players to beat their juggling record by at least 1 everyday. You'll often surprise yourself and beat your juggling record by 10, 20, 50, and even more. Juggling with a small soccer ball helps you improve your ball control, focus, and precision. The reason for this is because it's harder to juggle with a smaller ball than it is with a bigger ball. So you'll have to work hard to get good at it! But don't worry, this hard work will pay off.
