I Couldn’t Dribble Until I Tried Messi’s Favorite Skill

0:00 When I was younger, I couldn't dribble. I couldn't get past anybody. When I got the ball and you put a defender right in front of me, I just froze. I didn't know what to do. So, I always panic and ended up losing the ball, which led to my teammates stopped passing the ball to me. And naturally, the coach took me off. I was frustrated. I was feeling useless. So, I went on to YouTube to look for the answers. How can I dribble past a defender? And all these flashy skills and all these fancy tricks came up. And you probably seen them. You probably seen all this crap. And since it is flashy, it caught my attention. So I decided to try it. And guess what happened? I got annihilated. Absolutely destroyed by the defender and I ended up being in the bench again. I was feeling

0:45 hopeless like I was never going to be able to dribble. But when I got home, I saw something incredible that changed my dribbling forever. Somebody had left the TV on and on the TV there was this amazing player. He could dribble past anybody. He was just gliding through the pitch. Nobody could take the ball away from him. And you may know this player. He played in a Barcelona team. He was his name was Leonel Messi, something like that. You may know him. He didn't use any flashy, fancy, useless skills. He just used one singular move which worked all the time. This move was the body faint. I was fascinated. It was so simple, so effective, so elegant. So I decided to learn the body fate and once

1:30 I tried it, it was gamecher. When I got the ball, I stopped freezing and I was ready to take on multiple defenders at the same time. I started scoring more, assisting more, and my teammates started passing more to me. My coach was starting me every single game. Everything was perfect. So in this video, I'm going to teach you how to master the body faint. So basically the body faint is when you move your body instead of the ball to trick and confuse the defender. Now watch this clip. Messi throws a quick body f to his right which makes the defender react and move to the right leaving the left space open which Messi of course takes advantage of. To make the body f incredibly effective you have to drop your shoulder and use your feet to sell the move. But

2:17 wait before you try it in a real match. I got to tell you something. The body fame works best if it's performed through instincts. Most likely, you don't have the body fain instincts just yet. So, to build them up, you're going to need a cone or something to simulate a defender. Now, what you have to do is put the cone in front of you, dribble straight at it, and when you're about a meter away or so, throw a quick body f into one direction, and then explode into the opposite direction, just like this video demonstrates. Train this until you're comfortable enough to use it against real defenders. If you train it enough, you won't even have to think about it because it will become instincts and instincts are only built through repetition. Now, subscribe if you want to make it pro.
