Soccer Trick Dictionary
Hi guys, I just want to let you know that I haven't played soccer or football for two weeks now due to a slight knock on my knee. Maybe because I practiced so many ATWs (Around the World). Anyways, I've found this cool video by Sputnik from ExpertFootball. The video explains the basic of freestyle soccer tricks and how to do them (in slow-motion). Highly recommended for beginners as well. Enjoy the video.

The Maradona 7 – Head
The Maradona 7 – Head
The final part of the Maradona 7 is the ability to juggle using your head. As you manage to juggle from both feet to both thighs and to both shoulders, heading a soccer ball is the final piece of the jigsaw. Here are the steps:
Step 1
As usual, you would place the soccer ball on your head to make sure you know the point of contact. Test it by throwing the ball up in the air and head it and then catch the ball.
Step 2
Once you know the point of contact. Throw the soccer ball and head it a couple of times without letting it fall. Again the same process, try to beat your previous score to improve your heading ability and master the technique.
To master it completely would take weeks. It can be a bit boring if you’re practicing by just heading on the ball. Ideally I would combine head to foot trap for example. That’s all on the Maradona 7. By now you should at least be able to combine all the tricks to form the famous Maradona 7 in one go. I would emphasize that these tricks do take time to really master for example; it took about a month for me to do 40 kick-ups. Hope that helps and enjoy your freestyle soccer.
