This article identifies common mistakes such as over-dribbling, failing to scan the field while in possession, and using only one foot. It provides actionable solutions, like setting clear objectives during practice, such as focusing on short, controlled touches or practicing with weaker foot drills to develop ambidexterity.
Another frequent issue is poor posture, such as leaning too far back or being overly stiff, which affects balance and agility. The article recommends exercises to improve posture and movement, including dynamic warm-ups and shadow dribbling drills. By addressing these mistakes and incorporating corrective techniques into daily practice, players can significantly enhance their overall performance on the pitch.
