My 10 yo is a gentle giant. He has good technical skills and built like a powerful athlete, but doesn't know how to use his body well and lacks confidence. I've been struggling to find ways to help him tap into that physicality and aggression that I think everyone needs to be able to harness. Really appreciate you making this video and hope you do more like it. Do you have anything on teaching body mechanics ? He seems like a fish out of water when I try to teach him to bend his knees, get over the ball, stay on your toes, get low, and I 'm wondering if you have any tricks/methods/drills to help a player become familiar with their own body/natural form. Thanks!

Hi. I have been binging your videos to help my son improve his soccer playing. His last game was his best because he implemented a few of the skills from your videos. The coach said he needs to be more aggressive. So I searched your channel for "aggressive" and found this. Thank you so much for the content. It's really helping us.

This video completely changed the way my 8yo daughter plays soccer. She is less afraid to be physical and as a result has drastically improved. Her coaches were shocked to see such a difference in her play. Thank you!

I'm a grown man just getting into soccer and I couldn't figure out how much physical contact was allowed. This was insanely helpful! Can't wait to try these techniques.

With passionate leaders like you and exceptional coaches on board, there's no limit to what your players can achieve. Keep up the great work, and keep empowering those young athletes to reach their full potential! 🌟👏

you can use body feints when shielding the ball to make the defender go the opposite direction. for defenders you can tackle the ball in between the attacker's legs while he/she is shielding the ball.

This is quite beneficial

Very nice drill!

Great video, can’t wait to show my 9 yr old son this . To show him what I been telling him is right

Thank u for everything, I'm a fan of u, and I use what I learn here in my games ... Thank u so much

hello i love your training videos i try to teach my girls exactly what you teach, but one one my girls is "too aggressive" i love the intensity but she is causing obvious fouls not challenging the ball at all and attacking the player alone. how would you recommend dialing this back but keeping her hunger and drive to win the ball?

This is great! It's unfortunate that shielding the ball is not taught this way we are always taught not to use hands and arms because of potential fouls but I strongly agree with using hands and arms for leverage and also having a strong soccer stance and balance can be very important when shielding the ball. What I mean by strong soccer balance is kids should not be easily push down to the ground when they are shielding the ball they should be rock solid.

Thank you sir great video Love from India 💝

I love this man

Good

As an old guy coming into soccer from MANY years ago I had no clue what I could do. This was super helpful. I was standing up getting pushed off the ball all the time. I always had my back to the attacker.. they just kicked it between my legs! NO arms out coz I was scared of being fouled! In the corner it was embarrassing, as I did now know what to do. I love the tactic of kicking into the attacker, which I thought of doing, but again did not know it was allowed. I will practice this and improve heaps!

It has been a long time since I played (what, 20 years lol) but my girls are playing now. And I am trying to impart some of my old man wisdom on them when it comes to the game. The one thing I have been trying to teach more than anything is use your body. On defense especially (I was a defender in my day) but make sure you get right on the other player, and have that constant body contact, crowd their space and just get physical with them. Make life as uncomfortable as you can for them.

You need to make first contact and try to cut them off. Get in front of them then they are forced to foul you. Running side by side always leaves the chance to get tackled.

I surched up "how to play less agressive in soccer) and i get this

Great explanation...but is there more to that initial protection? Once you protect/win the ball, shouldn't you go offensive?

@ProgressiveSoccer

22 күн бұрын

Absolutely! Once you secure the ball, it’s time to transition to offense and make an impact. Protecting the ball is just the first step - after that, focus on creating opportunities and driving forward. Keep that attacking mindset! 💪⚽

Excellent training! The only other thing I wish he had pointed out is how he uses his legs to block their legs, so they can't poke the ball from behind.

My daughter plays soccer for both AYSO and her high school. The refs always call fouls if their arms are out like that so my daughter, who is very small in stature, often loses the ball out of fear getting a penalty called on her. Do the rules vary by state or something?

As long as the arms are not high up to shoulder or face height the ref won't call that. If you watch pro games they constantly use hands and arms and they don't call anything.

No thats not true. If you use your arms to push someone in the back or face, or raise an elbow, use your arms to intentionally hurt someone, that is a foul. But you can use your upper body to protect yourself. Watch professional players play and what they do with their arms when someone is trying to steal the ball from them.

Yeah but the defender can’t push the attacker off the ball, especially from behind? That’s called a “foul.” The defender has to make an attempt to reach for the ball with those crazy things called, feet.

Good idea.

. Against bigger opponent there is better way use your strongest muscles. Use the ASS. Hinge from hips and push back with your ass. If they push back you probably get free kick. Win-win move. Of course it is more stationary move.

Thanks for sharing your insight! Utilizing the ASS technique, as you described, can be a powerful way to leverage your body's strength against bigger opponents. Hinging from the hips and pushing back with determination not only helps maintain your ground but also increases your chances of drawing a free kick. It's all about finding those win-win situations on the field! 🙌 Keep the tips coming!

Hey, I hear you. Soccer can be tough, especially when facing opponents who are stronger or more aggressive. It's true, not every opponent will respond well to aggressive play. That's why it's essential to adapt your approach based on the situation and the opponent you're facing. Instead of solely relying on physicality, focus on improving your technique, positioning, and decision-making. These are aspects of the game that can help you overcome physical disadvantages. Work on quick, precise passes to evade pressure, and use your agility to outmaneuver opponents. Also, remember that aggression in soccer doesn't always mean being physical. It's about being proactive, determined, and assertive in your play. Look for opportunities to win the ball back through interceptions and smart positioning. Ultimately, soccer is a game of skill, strategy, and adaptability. Keep honing your abilities, stay composed under pressure, and always approach the game with respect for your opponents. It's all part of the journey of becoming a better player. Keep pushing forward! 🚀

@derekbritton4644

I can understand how this is interpreted as a foul. A good thing to consider is that strength and balance is expected to keep possession. As long as the ball is within a playable distance, a player can make themselves bigger to keep possession. Just extending an arm is not considered a foul, especially at more competitive levels. Players who are strong and intelligent use their arms, hips, butt and shoulders to create an extra barrier for opposing players. A defending player must use strength, speed and balance to gain an advantage. As long as they are not pulled, grabbed or struck, there is no infraction. This can get subjective the higher the play but he is enforcing good habits for better soccer player.
