Hi everyone this is Jason from bestsoccertricks.com and today we'll be showing
you a quick way to improve your first touch and your passing. So, this drill is similar to the
previous video we did. So, over here we have four cones, we're going to be doing quick lateral feet
for soccer. So, two steps in each when we reach here in between the blue cone and the pink cone
we're going to be... The first variation, we're going to be playing one touch. So
my teammate is going to play with the ball, I play it back. I open up here, play it back
then one more then we go on the other side. Quick feet head up, one touch, one touch,
then one touch. One thing like, one little pointer is when you're coming on your right
hand side then, you're going towards the outside. You want to be using your right
foot and then when you're coming back towards your left. You want to use your left foot. So,
we're going to be practicing both feet, because you don't want to cross over your body. Instead of
using your left. So you want to play on your back foot. So now we're going to do it in full speed.

So the variation we just did instead of playing the ball one touch
on every side of the cone, we're taking a touch here. We're bringing it outside and
we're playing it back. So, what you want to do on your first touch. Pass me the ball. So you
you try to hit the ball in the middle and with your right foot, you're guiding
it towards your left. So in the middle, you pass the ball there so that it doesn't bounce
and that you have a clean first touch to pass it back. So, all you do is the ball is coming,
you cross it over to your left foot and you play it back. Now, we're going to do the same thing
but we're going to do from the outside, we're going to be crossing it inside and passing.

So, I hope you guys enjoyed the video. One last little detail, the importance of the
touch is that in a game, the blue cone would be a defender. So let's say the ball is coming,
you're taking a touch away from the defender and you're buying yourself space and time.
So, if your first touch you're able to bring it into space, then you're gaining a few seconds on
your defender which is crucial. If you you get the ball and you keep it on your feet,
the defender is going to have time to close you down. So, you're going to lose those extra seconds
and he's just going to come and tackle you. So, if you're able to get the ball in the space
as clean and as fast as possible, you're going to gain time. You're going to gain space
and the higher you play that's the most important thing you can get.
