Hi, this is Jason from best soccer tricks
dot com. I'll be showing you an intense
soccer drill for first touch. So this
simple drill consists of using the
rebounder and it's putting down four
cones in a square, you can put the square
bigger than this. At first you can start
a bit smaller so what you're going to do is
play a nice hard ball in the rebounder
and then stop the ball with one touch
and then if you're training alone what
you can do is sprint to any cone and
then explode back to the ball, make another
pass, control the ball so it stays, then
choose another cone and do the same
thing. If you're with a teammate, put four
cones that are different colors example
one orange, blue, green and red and when
you play the ball and you receive it,
tell your teammate that's resting to
call out the color of the cone and
you're going to have to react and go to
that cone. That really helps your
reaction and it's going to help you also be
more explosive. So since I'm alone, I
usually like to work in blocks of 45 to
50 seconds really intense and that's it,
you pick a cone randomly, you don't
need to have an order, just to practice
your reaction.
So here how it goes.

I hope you enjoyed this intense first
touch drill. Like the name says, it's a
very effective drill to work on your
first touch and since its intense it gets
you tired and you know I'll get your
heart pounding so, when you're the final
minutes of the game,
you know this drill you'll feel it on your
legs, they feel nice and tired so once
you get to the game and it's the 90th
minute,
you'll feel better, you'll feel light and
this drill also works your reaction and
your explosiveness which is very
important. Like I said, work this drill in
a period of about 45 to 50 seconds, it's
a very good period because it's intense
you'll feel it and even if you get some
balls from the rebounder that aren't
perfect, you know take a touch to control
it even if it's not perfect keep going
keep practicing and you'll see the
difference. So I hope you liked it,
