It's inevitable; if you are going to play at a high level of soccer you are going to have to develop a move or two or three; something to buy time, to create space, to escape from pressure or to take a defender on and create a shot etc.

It takes practice. To develop moves you need to spend quality time with the ball working on the footwork, the timing to perfect it. It's great to find a move that you like and mimic it over and over and over untill you have it down, till it becomes a natural part of your ball handling...and then practice it 1 v1, in small games, at team practices. Then you need to find the courage to execute in a game. Once you find that rythmn the move will come easy and so may many more.

Hard work is what it is all about. Practice.
