I recently did a video on soccer passing
drills and in that video they're a bunch
of drills but they were all soccer passing drills that
you did with partners and some of them
were in twos some of f them were in threes
but I had a lot of people ask me how do
i do soccer passing drills or how do I
improved my passing skills if I don't
have anyone to practice with so today
I'm going to show you exactly how you
can improve your passing but also your
first touch also your speed a play
which are very important pieces of your game
that I think are overlooked way too
often ok today you're gonna learn how to
improve all those areas so stay all the
way to the end of this video because
although I'm showing you soccer passing drills there
are other things I want you to focus on
so you can actually apply the practice that
you're putting in onto the field to make
you a better player
let's get into it so before we get into
the actual soccer passing drills that I want you to
practice to improve your passing skills
I want to talk about a couple of very
important things so first of all is
quality of your passes and what I mean
by that is.. it's easier to see when you're
passing with a teammate but by yourself
even if I want to pick a spot so maybe I
pick a line on the wall and I try to hit
that line or like a little dent in the
wall is spot on the wall and I tried to
hit every time a lot of us were too
comfortable with making passes that are ok
but they're not good enough the higher level
you get at the more important and more
precise your passes need to be we
need to put pace on your passes
add pace to it you cant be soft 
like that if it's weak its gonna get cut
outs gonna get intercepted
you need pace on your passes we also
need accuracy on your pass is very
important so for example if I was like
passing to my teammate instead of just
passing it to him I want to pass to
either to his right foot left foot I
want to pass it into this space
here in front of him to encourage him
to go that way or I want to pass it to this
space behind him because the defenders
on that side
ok so think about having a little more
quality and precision with your passing
don't just pass it over there
hit it at the wall
ok think about the exact spot on the
wall that you want to hit it and put it
there ok the other thing that I want
talk about when you're passing with
yourself is your first touch
ok yes we're focusing on soccer passing drills but
it's a great opportunity to focus on
improving your first touch so when i
receive the ball I'm not just... again I'm
not just making these touches in really
thinking about it, where I want the ball to go, think 
about the game that he quickly became play
again quickly ok so I might really
over-emphasize mytouch at my feet get
out of my feet and I can't play nice
pass out of my feet play nice pass if I'm
going into space out of my feet okay but
look at my body positioning I'm not just
like up here and letting the ball hit my
foot I get over the ball I'm pushing it
there with my touch but also my body is
over the ball and I'm really making sure it
goes exactly where I want it to go okay
so when you think about those two things
then finally I want to think about your
speed of play
ok there's no one around here there are no
defenders but you need to imagine that
there are ok  if we're just
doing simple drillsl it's
received pass receive pass the
passes are sharp and accurate it's not
like....
it's to casual play like you're in the heat
of the game yes everything you do is sharp and
quick pass received pass receive 
fast ok so quick on your feet
ok we're going to go into a couple of
soccer passing drills here and as you can see I'm
passing against the wall by myself no
one else is here ok but the wall is one of
the best ways to improve skills this guy
is going to pass back to you every time it
is your best friend he's gonna give you
millions of passes in your lifetime if
you use it properly
all right let's get into these drill
there are so many of you out there
and maybe I'm not talking specifically
but If I am you need to be very honest
with yourself you guys are watching
these videos but you're not actually
applying what we're talking about you're
not actually putting into practice and
you're sending me messages or you are
complaining to your friends and your
family you're saying I'm put in all this
work or I'm following this advice but I'm not getting any
better
well the truth is there are millions of
other kids or other players out there
in the world who are using this advice
and they are putting it into practice and they are
getting better so if you're not getting
better
well maybe you're not actually doing
what you should be doing ok make sure
that you're actually working to improve your
passing you want to improve your first
touch make sure that you
actually practice this thing ok you get your
ball leave your house
jog to the park with your ball please
don't get hit by a car look both ways
when you cross the street but that's
what I used to do I would get my ball go for a
run dribble the whole way to field
or to the wall wherever you go and
then you get here you spend even if you
spent 10 minutes it would make massive difference in
improving your skills your first touch
speed of play your confidence on the ball
if you wanna stay longer you can practice
other things too as well you're
dribbling shooting all this other stuff
on my channel these other soccer drills  I'm
giving you guys ok but if you're really
focused on becoming a better passer and
a playmaker someone who doesn't lose
possession of the ball having a better first
touch and better speed of play rhythm
of play, playing with more confidence on the ball
get out there and do these soccer passing drills 10
minutes a day spend one minute on each
drill and get those thousands of passes in
every day it will go a long way in
making you a better player alright guys
