Well,despite what people say(that doing soccer tricks won 't help u at all in the pitch :down:),i personally think that freestyling teaches u a lot about the ball,and how to treat her, and help u improve ur soccer skills :biggrin:!!!For me freestyle did help me to improve my football skills,mostly in dribbling and foot speed :banana:!!!All this time that i 've been freestyling i learnt for sure one thing:to learn a trick or a move u have to work on it until u 've mastered it in order to be able to do it any time...so i do the same for dribbles and work over them again and again,so there won 't be a time in the game that i will mess up a dribble and it is working REALLY good..so far many ''looney'' dribbles have worked on the opponents!!!Also,freestyle made me become more familiar with the ball and have a better touch on it :rockit:!!!So,what do u think??Does freestyle have any effect on ur skills on the court??
