Becoming a proficient juggler with a soccer ball can help improve soccer performance. Juggling with a soccer ball using feet, thighs and all parts legal in the game of soccer is a fun way to practice and hone skills. Through repetition of touch players become adept at controlling the ball. Juggling consistently and with the intent to master the ball will improve focus, concentration, balance, agility and ultimately eye/foot coordination and touch.
Using a practice ball like the brasilian futebol or a tennis ball helps accelerate improvement and will refine all the qualities mentioned above developing a higher level of skill.
Check out the juggling program at http://brasilianfutebol.com/applications/juggling.asp.
It has some good ideas for beginners as well as top level players.
Become a juggler. Make the ball dance and move and make it do what it is you will. At the end of the day it is not how many touches/times you can keep a ball in the air but what you do with the ball that counts.
