Just a little thing to help you perform that trick called "Around the World".
Steps
Step 1. Start by training a lot, trying to go to the gym at least 3 hours a week (footballers need to have good control of their muscles)
Step 2. Start with the ball on the ground
Put your dominant foot on the ball and roll it backwards so that it is balanced on your foot.
Step 3. To get comfortable with the ball, do about fifty (low) dribbles
Step 4. Try to keep the ball balanced on your dominant foot
When you do, try to keep it as still as possible (at least 30 seconds).
Step 5. Slide the ball slightly to the right (if you are right)
Step 6. Lift your foot and bring it around the ball inwards, trying not to touch it, then outside
Don't worry about getting the ball back, it's just an exercise.
Step 7. Bounce the ball off a hard surface (a couple of times) and try to hit it with your right foot
Step 8. Bring your foot quickly around the ball to the outside, trying not to touch it, then bring it inside and hit the ball to regain control and start dribbling
Step 9. Do it a couple of times until you succeed without hitting it (at the beginning or at the end)
Once you have your hand, you can start hitting it a couple of times with your foot and try "around the world", then continue to dribble.
Advice
- Don't throw the ball too high or it will hit your knee. One way to avoid this is to keep your leg at 250 degrees _ / (the drawing represents your leg from the knee down); the thigh should be parallel to the foot.
- Don't be discouraged if you don't get it right now, you'll be able to do it within a couple of months.
- Train in dry conditions, as wet ground makes it more difficult to stand on one foot.
- You should first perfect a few other tricks before trying this one, as it takes a long time.
- Try to use soccer shoes or at least five-a-side football boots.
- Don't forget to wear shorts for greater mobility.
- Train on a hard, solid surface.
- Adidas and Nike balls are great.
