The Maradona 7 - Shoulder

The Maradona 7 - Shoulder

Juggling using your shoulder is the 5th and 6th of the Maradona 7. It's important as it test your ability to coordinate your upper part of the body namely shoulders and head. To improve this, here's some useful hints that you can use:

Step 1

Start by throwing the ball at head height and position your shoulder exactly below and pointing towards the center of the ball. The center it is, the more straight it goes. Then, follow through it with your shoulder.

Step 2

Start familiarising with your dominant shoulder first. Practice while building rhythm until you feel comfortable. Then practice with your weaker shoulder by juggling a couple of times using your shoulder. Always try to beat your previous score in order to improve and staying motivated.

Step 3

When you're somewhat familiar using both of your shoulders. Challenge yourself by combining your shoulder juggling from left to right or vice versa. Combining your shoulder juggling will naturally improve your flexibility and coordination. Though practicing your weaker ones will take massive amount of time and dedication. You can start using your head as well, juggling from right to left and finally using your head to finish it off.

That's it for today, stay tuned for the final part of Maradona 7 - Head.
