guys and girls you've seen the titles in
this episode we're gonna talk about what
you can do to improve your passing in
order to perform better in football
matches and before I start I have to say
that if you're looking for golden tip
and that overnight miracle this is not
the episode for you but instead if
you're willing to listen and hopefully
learn something regardless of your
position keep watching as a quick note
you can of course find all the
timestamps in the first comment below
and with that out of the way let's go
step number one the mindset of
repetition you watching this episode
tells me you're not happy with your
passing game and instead of complaining
and coming up with excuses you need to
get into the mindset of practicing and
repetition I've said this many many
times and I will keep repeating myself
until all the young players watching
these videos gets it the only way to
learn different shooting techniques
including passing is by repeating that
kicking movement thousands of times
so yes less YouTube videos and instead
head out and practice every single day
step 2 master the essentials with both
feet I'm sure you have a teammate who
can pass the ball with both feet and
that skill is always respected and loved
by every single coach in the world as it
simply makes you a lot more dangerous
force on the pitch now with the
essentials I mean you being able to pass
the ball with the inside the outside of
your foot and of course pinging the ball
and the reason you wanna master those
three essential passing techniques with
both feet is that 99% of the times in
game situations you're gonna pass the
ball in one of those ways so obviously
in order to perform better in matches
you should focus on those so start
working passing the ball with both feet
step three the small details that make
all the difference let me be super clear
here this is my most important tip of
the day and essentially we're talking
about decision making
there are many scenarios for passing
that go far beyond the pure technical
side of things and here's my homework
for you starting today and for the rest
of your life always keep these three
things in the back of your head that
currently separate you from all the
greatest passers in the game you ready
here they are number one should you pass
the ball directly towards your teammate
or push the ball slightly ahead of him
to not only move him the ball but also
the game forward obviously the wrong
decision here could ruin the chance for
quick counter-attack and in general slow
the game down which is something we
don't want to happen so next time your
teammate is not making a run to empty
space perhaps don't kick the ball 10
meters ahead of him there are countless
examples here but I'm sure you already
get my point number two which food
should you pass the ball when you're
passing the ball to your teammate in
order to make it easy for him to
continue the game now the example here
could be that your teammate is correctly
positioned like this in order to attack
and go this way and obviously in that
scenario the ball coming from this
direction he should receive it with his
left foot but if you pass the ball to
his right foot he's gonna have to adjust
his body take a few extra touches and
again slow the game down another example
could be that you are dropping the ball
back to your teammate to maybe clear the
ball or even get a shot off on goal and
in those situations you want to give the
ball to your teammates strong food for a
better outcome you get the point but
it's extremely important to pay
attention to which food you're gonna aim
your path towards and lastly number
three the weight of the pass now coaches
always tell you to give those strong and
firm passes but actually in some cases
strong passes are not the ones that the
game requires because if you pass the
ball too hard you're gonna make it very
difficult for your teammate to receive
the ball so even though you kind of made
a successful pass you didn't really do
any favors to your teammate who
potentially lost the ball now an example
where a lighter pass could be very
useful is again you dropping the ball
back to your teammate in order for him
to clear the ball shoot the ball towards
the goal or especially if you're passing
the ball back to your goalkeeper but
keep in mind that in some scenarios too
light of a pass will be easy for the
defenders to intercept this is the
tricky thing when it comes to decision
making because you always have to find
the right moment for the right time in
the game to pass the ball in a certain
way but the weight of the past ah make
such a huge difference while all of this
might sound
besides all the technical side of things
the execution of these three things is
the difference in you being either a
grade or just an average passer and you
can start slowly and in fact just you
knowing these things gives you the edge
over some other people out there and the
last thing I'm gonna leave you with is
for you to cut the BS and stop with the
excuses yes you might not have a
beautiful and nice pitch like I do and
maybe you don't have five friends who
can help you out with your training
sessions but you want to hear the hard
reality nobody cares about your excuses
and some guy out there who has it even
worse than you do is working harder than
you so think about that one
now today I'm actually not gonna ask you
to check out that playlist right down
here to learn even more skills because I
want you to go out and practice but
actually you can spend two seconds and
subscribe to our channel before you do
that because once you come back from
practicing you can check out even more
videos that's it for today a lot
