Have you ever wanted to learn to juggle a soccer ball? Not only can it help improve your coordination, it looks cool while doing it. Here is the technique for learning how.

First thing to do is to hold the ball and to drop it onto the laces of one foot. Kick the ball up so that you can catch it, without moving the rest of your body. Repeat on both sides. While you do so, make sure that you are keeping your knees slightly bent and ready to move, you are dropping the ball directly onto the laces of your shoe and not to one side, your foot is flat and firm, and when you kick the ball it does not go any higher than your head.

Secondly, you will want to work on controlling how high you kick the ball. Once again, hold the ball and drop it onto the laces of one foot. This time, when you kick the ball up to catch it, let it go no higher than your waist again. Then let it bounce once before kicking it up again to waist height. Repeat for both sides. Again, make sure that you are keeping your knees bent, the ball is being dropped directly onto the laces of your shoe, your foot is flat is firm, and the ball does not go any higher than your waist.

Next, you are going to want to kick the ball twice before catching it. Hold the ball and drop it onto the laces of one foot. Kick the ball twice on your foot before catching. Repeat for both sides. Once again, make sure that you are keeping your knees bent, you are dropping the ball directly onto the laces, your foot is flat and firm, and the ball is not being kicked any higher than your waist.

Now it is time to alternate feet. Hold the ball and drop it onto the laces of one foot. Kick the ball from this foot to your other foot, and then catch it. Repeat the exercise, starting with opposite feet each time. As usual, make sure that you keep your knees slightly bent, you are dropping the ball directly onto the laces, you are keeping your foot flat and firm, and you are not kicking the ball any higher than your waist.

Next, we will go back to repetition. Hold the ball and drop it onto the laces of one foot, this time kicking it three times on the same foot before catching. Again, you should repeat for both sides, ensuring that your knees remain bent, the ball is dropped correctly, your foot is flat and firm and you are kicking the ball no higher than your waist.

Now, go back to alternating. Starting with your right foot, drop the ball onto the laces. Kick the ball to your left foot, then back to the right, and then catch. Repeat the exercise, starting with your left foot the second time around. Again, you should repeat for both sides, ensuring that your knees remain bent, the ball is dropped correctly, your foot is flat and firm and you are kicking the ball no higher than your waist.

Once you have gotten a handle on that, increase the sequence. Instead of catching the ball when it makes it back to the starting foot, pass it once more to the opposite foot. Again, repeat on both sides, alternating your starter foot. You should also watch that your knees remain bent, the ball is dropped correctly, your foot is flat and firm and you are kicking the ball no higher than your head.

Now, go back to using only one foot. Drop the ball and kick, seeing how many times you can repeat before the ball touches the floor. Repeat on both sides, keeping in mind all of the other conditions. You can then repeat this exercise juggling the ball from one foot to the other.

Congratulations! If you have successfully completed all of these steps, you should be able to juggle the ball. For variations, you can try juggling using only your thighs or forehead. Go back to earlier steps if needed. You can also train with a partner and juggle the ball back and forth.

How do you juggle a soccer ball on your knees and feet?

I've been trying to juggle a soccer ball for two days now. All I can do is 6 juggles on my knees and 2 juggles on my feet. I don't know if I'm doing the right stance or doing anything right.

admin answers:

When juggling on your feet try to keep the ball low and position your ankle pointing higher up to create backspin and keep the ball around your foot. Try dropping the ball onto your foot and 1-touching it back to your hands with spin. Then move on to more touches consecutively. Eventually you can keep the ball low and (alternating feet) add back spin to the ball to rack up them juggles.

When juggling on you thighs, keep the ball close to your torso so that it pops straight back up into the air. A good way to practice this is to alternate thighs and bounce the ball back and forth.

Good luck!

How do parents juggle college and families?

I'm a single person in my 20s, and I'm having a hard time juggling work and a full college schedule. How do parents juggle going back to college and their families? It just seems impossible.

admin answers:

Well my job (meteorologist) I've chosen to work completely at night and in the early morning. I'm taking classes during the day time towards my M.S. Degree. My job isn't really really busy so I can study and do HW/school stuff on the job. It allows me to make enough to make mortgage payments and pay for other stuff. My parents (they are retired) watch my son during the daytime.

Maybe get a job that lets you work at night time such as a security guard, maybe a waitress at a 24 hour restaurant and go to school during the daytime. You need to arrange for a babysitter. Maybe you have a family member who will be willing to help you out.

I'd suggest doing some sort of security guard type job, where it isn't really too busy so you can study on the job and earn a somewhat decent pay.

Its possible. I work 9am to 10:30pm mon-fri and I still find time for my wife. Its not easy but its possible. Maybe try and call them throughout the day or if you can't call text. If you can't text email. Find whatever suits you the best. When you have time together make it count. Its possible. Good luck! I know you can do it! Oh and my wife works all day on the weekends so I feel your pain. You are not alone :).
