So much of trainings within clubs, clinics and academies are spent on the tactical side of the game with little to no focus on technical ability or foot skills. How does this allow players to be creative and adapt to different styles of play? Playing at club level to then national level or even just one team to the next, you need to be able to adapt as each team is different. 

​

What makes players great, is their ability to adapt and impact the game. 

​

Improving your foot skills, and your understanding of when to perform them and how, will add a different dimension to your game. This will inturn help your ability to think like a soccer player, anticipate the play and make correct and effective decisions. 

​

It is the ability to make correct decisions fast, keep the ball under pressure, take on players, read the play and allow yourself time on the ball that has allowed me to stand out on the pitch and play at high levels. I accredit this to learning the skills from a young age and spending tremendous amounts of hours in the backyard practicing my foot skills as well as being under the guidance of a professional skills coach
