My touch is the worst aspect of my game so I think this video will really help
I hope so mate. Keeping it simple is always the most effective 👌
Yeah on my side it is headers but first touch is also something i am bad at it
The touch is imo the most important,I assume u don't know how to juggle at least 50 with different parts of your foot,you should learn that it'll really help,u should also do the knees,the head,even the shoulders. He might've said it in the vid,I haven't watched it yet
@@nelio8426 these are good tips yesterday i tried juggling and my best was 58 but only with knees and both foot shoulder and head are not things i try often
Same for me
Thank you so much Tony for providing such quality content for free. Love from India...
Thank you so much for the donation! That's too kind of you!
A great first touch, together with proper vision and awareness, really is the key to opening up sooo many more options on the field 🔑 Great video once again, you deserve all the success coming your way 🎉
So true mate! Cheers for being here matey 👍🧡
@@thefootballfolk Could you make a video about improving vision and awareness on the field,I am good at dribbling but my teammates hate me for not passing the ball 😅
@TysonFootballJourney bro i started playing with older players and i am learning a lot from them, they are very supporting🙂
This Video actually make sense, love how you explained the exercises and how it would help.
Your videos are incredible...Helpful with a touch of humour.
I’m new to football and this channel is actually really helping, thank you for everything you do 🙏
You’re SOO welcome 🙏 🧡
Love ur videos mate keep going
Really helpful video.. Thank you so much sir...🙋❤️
Just in time again. Thank you! Some of my U11 kids really struggle with their 1st touch. Sharing your vid now! Wall training is the best! I always tell my kids, the wall is honest, it'll never lie, or mislead you, it will expose your weaknesses. It will always give you a perfect pass back, if you can first give it a perfect pass.
Love it Tom! Sounds like your kids are in great hands 👌🧡
Thank you so much for all the clear and concise training drills. :)
recently got a job at a high school (I'm American, so secondary school) and I took on Varsity Head Soccer (football) coach. I have a Roster of 18, and most (12 or so) have played little to no soccer in the past outside of high school, so there's not a lot of fundamental skill for many of my guys. This channel has been really helpful in helping me breakdown the game to building blocks over the last few weeks
Thank you this really helps
another top video, keep it up man
Clear one by one teaching to practice first touch. Expecting for the next video! BTW, your video editing skills improved too.😁😁
🧡🧡 Thanks Dai!
This will really help me Thanks 🙏

U deserve to reach a mil bro❤
Thank you this is something I really needed 👍
🧡🧡🧡
The video was useful . Can you please post about a specific gym workouts for football . Thanks
Amazing content the information and the analysis in the video are exceptional, but the thing that blows me away is the editing and how enjoyable is the watching experience. Are you editing your videos on your own or you have an editor? Thank you again for the amazing content! 👍
Wow thank you!!! I edit myself 😁 I really enjoy it, although having an editor would be lovely lol
Great video, very impressive I think you are genius of what you do. Thanks a lot 🙏❤
🧡🙏🧡🙏
Your a great teacher fam
Great vid as usual. Keep it up, mate. Love from Nepal🇳🇵
Thanks mate! Much love to Nepal! Can’t wait to visit 🙌
That would be amazing mate. You are very much welcome here! ❤️🙏
I have to say that was a really well presented video.
love your videos, I'm from latinoamerica, Peru, and your videos had helped me a lot in my games, I'm playing faster, I'm having better shooting, I'm scoring more goals. I'm recomending this chanel to my friends and I hope they have the patience and watch all your videos. Keep doing amazing bro, blessings
That’s awesome to hear! I love Peru 🇵🇪 Can’t wait to come back
Hey love the video keep it up 😘
Cheers mate 🙌
Best videos ever about learning football
Love the content! Could you do a video on top 4-5 exercises to incorporate to a gym routine to improve longevity for us footballers in their mid 30 looking to extend footballing lifeee?
YES!! Great idea! I’ll add it to the list 🧡
Thank you so much for making this video, my first touch is so bad in games. Your content are amazing too.
I hope it helps 😄🧡
Very helpful thank you. I had a game today and my first touch was off a lot.
Sir.Your The Best Coach Ever.
Another bangers Tony 🎉. Off to the park I go....
Love it mate 🤣🧡
Watched this with my boy, and we both had de ja vu when seeing some of your shots. Realised you were shooting these videos in Eastbourne. Knew it was familiar! Keep up the great work.
That’s awesome!! Eastbourne is a magical spot 👌🧡
@@thefootballfolk yell out if you need a hand with any future vids, keen to support and help your good work!
I thought the background looked familiar! I lived in Mahina Bay, now watching from Hawaii. Great videos!
Bro actually makes quality content 😮
Hello brother i just wanna thank you for your hard work Recently I’ve been watching your videos and you inspired me to try new things each months and now I’m switching into playing with my left foot ( weak foot ) thanks to your video and by some hard work I don’t think I’m gonna go back to my default settings 🤣
Love it mate 🧡
Can you do a video on bow to jugle
best football channel by far
Just finished bluelock and I’m waiting for you to mention the monster inside of us
Great video I do think a follow up video that could be helpful is how exactly do you make your foot like sand and not a trampoline. I feel like a lot of people struggle with that in particular
Thanks mate 😁🧡 Yea I’ll follow up with the specifics at some point 👍
Hey there, Im enjoying your content 😄, do you have any tips for scanning/ awareness?
Thanks mate. I’ll make a video on that at some point 😁 If you check out this video it sort of touches on that 👍 - kzhead.info/sun/ermbpa-fgHOeYK8/bejne.html
You are an absolute legend
🙏🙏
Thank you for listening to us, your community of followers 😊😊
🙏🙏🧡🧡
next video on > grasscutter shot \ zing shot technique... plz
Really love your vids, im a great cb buty probpem is losing the ball under pressure (first touch or unawarness) so i hope this vid helps me
back pass
🧡🧡🧡
Please learn to load your non receiving leg to be ready to move asap. Also learn to receive the ball NOT under your but ahead of you, which also links to tip 1. Receive the ball ahead of you, the closer you control the ball directly below you; the harder it is to move your body and the ball.
Great tips! How do balance having a soft foot vs too much of a soft touch leading to the mis-control of the ball?
Thanks mate 🧡 This will come with time, the more you practice the more it will make sense 😁
If you improve just the confidence in your own first touch, that means the next decision can be made before receiving the ball. The compounded benefit of that alone is massive.
Your previous video really helped improving my weak foot. But I am very bad at doing skills, I have fast pace but still I am not able to do skills. I dont know what is the reason, maybe lack of confidence or something else 😢.
Thanks for sharing, confidence can be a factor, also coordination, balance & timing could be playing a role. I would suggest focusing on 1 skill and try to get the timing and control down. Once you feel comfortable with that I’m confident other skills will come easier 👍
Start off with the easy ones first
How well does the skill transfer if i train with running shoes, bare feet etc to --> proper football boots? Like if i train at home bare feet, will it be the same as i train with my football boots
good going
🧡🧡
Can you make a video about finishing?
Coming soon 🧡
Could you make a video of how to think about shooting ? I'm a winger and way too often I find myself in ideal positions to shoot but I always forget the goal and think of passing the ball. At an amateur level every non-striker seem to do that same error from what I've seen
I think this comes mostly down to confidence, and game awareness, but I’ll certainly break this down more in a future video 👍🧡
@@thefootballfolk Thanks, you're the best!
Can you please make a video of how midfielders should train
🧡🧡
can you make a video on how to improve awarness
I’ll add it to the list 👍🧡
Hey I’ve been loving your content. If I could just make a small suggestion. Try to include a reminder to like the video because I found myself watching a handful of videos without liking them, when I would have if I was simply reminded. Interestingly the ending suggestions of your videos are great and get me excited to check out your other content (enough for me to forget to drop a like). All the best!
Appreciate it 🧡 I’ll keep it in mind for sure. Just don’t like to take anything away from the information 😁
4:04 cleanest touch ive ever seen
can u make a first time playing to a great player training seires or videos in step by step
I’m putting together a training program that will hopefully help 😁🧡
I know I already posted a coment here but I must ask. Could you please make a tutorial on how to improve vision? If you read this thank you for your time again. :)
You’re awesome! I’ll work on a video for sure 😁
@@thefootballfolk Thank you very much ☺
My preference has always been to work with both feet as much as I can equally otherwise I will always have one foot more dominant. I even drove with both feet because I didn't want to train always one foot to do one thing 😅
Can you make a juggling guide
👍👍
Your honestly better than All Attack
🙏🙏
road to mahrez first touch 😎 its all about training and habits
Swaz tutorial please
We always should have soft hands to catch the ball in cricket, same with cushioning the ball to stop it in football
🧡🧡
lukaku has to watch this
What do you say at 3:52? The what touch?
First, thanks for the tips! 😃
No worries 👍🧡
My physicality is the worst aspect of my game Would love a video on something that can help with that without decreasing the functionality of my body
I’ll add that to the list 👍
@@thefootballfolk that’d be wonderful 🫂
Somehow my touch has got better while I've been out injured the last 6 months 🤣
🤣🤣🤣
Hi bro I'm first viewer ❤Love from India🇮🇳
Love from Australia 🇦🇺
is it okay to this while not wearing a football shoes? I noticed you are wearing rubber shoes while doing kick ups part of the video.
Absolutely 👍
You used to be my coach
Is their a way I can contacty you privately?I need to ask something!?
You can email me, the link is in my profile :)
@@thefootballfolk Okay, hope you reply soon!
@@thefootballfolk Sorry but I really need your help can you view the email please
Great vid Maybe next can be about improving vision and awareness by yourself??
🧡🧡🧡
Bro my first on long spining is awful it deflects and goes aways to opponents 😅
ur tips to help never seize to impress
🙏🙏🙏
Unlike me (I dont have friends to play with so i play alone😢), you should take active part in football matches and get exposure to real life situation where ball can reach you from any direction/at any speed,etc. I can say so bcuz once I play with my younger brother and he could defend me easily. He was a basketball player btw...
My touch is fina but with this video i will be god like
There's always back spin on the ball anytime I try to stop a fast moving ball. So annoying
I need more vids on specific positions after the fundamentals right ?
Yea you might find that helpful. What position do you play?
Yea you might find that helpful. What position do you play?
