Jean Carlos Chera (JC) Video Analyzed

Whether you’re an adult or you have a young one who wishes to develop better ball movement abilities, exhaustively digesting this video should guide you into the path to actualize your wish.

This video can serve an interested player the exact same way considerable exposure to TV coverage of basketball games grafts some element of playing skills into the typical American youth.  By watching this clip over and over, player’s senses and body increasingly coordinate better.

The video

The subject is young (9 years).  Even 50% of the skills he exhibits would serve adult recreational player well.  A few weeks of analytically watching and implementing his touches would get you well under way.

Things to watch for in this video (dribbling)

Timing of touch – Dribbling in soccer is advancing the ball while eluding opposition contact.  JC’s dribbling strength lies in his ability to delay his touch excruciatingly long enough for his challenger to commit.  By the time the challenger swings, JC’s deft touch is able to use the minimum required space to elude contact.

The narrower the berth around the opposition, the more effective the dribbling.

Speed is always a helpful element but is not critical.  As a striker, there’s no doubt you need speed for the breakaways, through passes, etc.  However, you can still be a good playmaker-midfielder with less speed than the rest of the field.

Obviously, his shooting is precocious and commendable.  The work that went into developing that element of his game is more than can be tackled in this forum.

Enjoy the video.
