First Touch Training | Simple Exercises To Improve Your First Touch

Hi guys and welcome back to another video. So today I'm getting together with a couple of my teammates to work on some basic first touch and distribution drills. So we're going to be out here for maybe 30 minutes or so. It's a recovery day so we're not trying to put too much on the legs but it's still important to warm up even when you're going through technical drills because you want to be punching the ball in working on your technique. So it's important to get everything activated so you can perform better and also reduce the risk of injury. Just to let you know today's video is sponsored by Squarespace.
