Coach Jeff's Soccer Training

Footwork Skills
I teach that there are 2 ingredients needed for an effective Jook move:
Ingredient #1) Footwork Skills
Ingredient #2) Body Feints
On this page, we will look at Ingredient #1: Footwork Skills. You will want these to be sharp as you will use them after you throw a convincing Body Feint at them and have them compromised.
Below are the 10 Footwork Skills that I focus on in my training sessions...
