The Maradona 7 – Thigh

The Maradona 7 – Thigh

This is the simplest among the other Maradona 7. In fact, it’s one of my favorites when I first juggled a ball. Here it is step by step:

Step 1

Place a soccer ball on the surface of your knee. You start with your dominant knee first. Find the flatter surface of your knee. Then juggle the ball with your knee by lifting upwards and follow through it. Juggle it once and catch the ball. Do this a couple of times. The point of this step is to find your knee surface where you’re most comfortable at so that the soccer ball would go straight upwards.

Step 2

From here onwards is all about juggling with your knees without letting the soccer ball fall onto the ground. Start with your dominant knee first and as you feel comfortable, you can practice with your weaker knee.

Step 3

You start juggling with your knees from left to right or vice versa. Try to emulate your previous record which would improve your technique quicker.

That’s it for today. Stay tuned for next week: The Maradona 7 – Shoulder
