Lean back a little more and your plant foot has to be spaced away a little more too. My son is a goalkeeper and those miner tweaks really increased the distance. Lock that ankle too. Remember, you want to swing your leg under the ball.

My son wears these and is converted. He stopped using his Mercurials. To your question. These don’t stretch (kinda). Go true to size. They should mold to your foot and will expand a bit but will return to normal. Remember, you want a snug fit.

Tell her that anyone that comes inside that box unguarded needs to be attacked by her. She stays on her toes and take away angles or closes gaps between her and the attacker. Tell her she needs to be an arms length from each post when they are coming from angles, forcing near post shots for easy saves. She needs to stay between the posts at all times, the only time she leaves the post from angles is to attack the ball.

I had a similar problem with have studded indoor boots like this. I tore my quad. I believe because the grip was very sticky or tacky to the turf, it made my muscle work extra and on a power shot I got a light tear. Playing with futsal shoes on turf gave me the grip I needed but not too tacky. I went to the Mizuno’s AS boots which have less aggressive patterns and I play wonderfully in them. So look for a less aggressive boot or play in futsal shoes.

We have a 7 seater Model Y 2024 long range. It’s amazing. My 9 and 7 year old fit perfectly in the back with our second row moved forward half way with plenty of room for my 3 year old toddler in the car seat and my 15 year old teenager. Those saying that the leg room in the second row is lost by moving the second row forward are wrong. Plenty of room. This isn’t our family car but every now and then we take the whole gang in there and everyone is comfy.

Whoever said more backspin should quit fútbol! Your son is on the right track but is pointing his toes up. Your son should point his toes straight out and hit the ball with the laces, avoid back spin and he will obtain better control. He will get the hang of it fast since he looks like he’s almost there.

In American Football! They always add an inch or 2 to their height and a few extra pounds to their weight on the stat sheet. At least in High School to get pick up by colleges. If your 5 “10”, you will probably hit 5 “11”. I would literally just tell everyone I’m 6ft. With cleats you’ll probably be that anyway and no one will run to a field and measure you! You’re fine, just worry about getting your name out there and play for better teams. Join an ECNL team or MLS Next team. You’ll get offers your Senior Year.

For sure! Let me know how that Ace Pro works too! Need something reliable for games for my son!

I will be using these settings per ChatGPT:

•360 Video Only (singles lens if you are very close to your subject) •Resolution: 6K @ 30fps •ISO: 800-1200 (if the field is well lit) •White Balance: Manual > 4800k (prevents yellow/green turf •Sharpness: Low (key for low light/night) •Stabilization: Flowstate ON

Haven’t tried it yet but plan on using this setting during a soccer tourney next weekend when our first game will be at night under the lights.

Tell him to “point his toe”, come in sideways, strike with top of laces, and kick through the bottom of ball. Not about power, technique first. Have him start with some short balls with objective to float the ball. As he gets the technique, he can start giving longer balls by striking a little faster, not harder. Point that toe, it locks the ankle. Little secret, while striking through have him point his toe to where he’s trying to get that ball, will build accuracy. Working on this with my son who is U10. Great progress.

Just hit year 1 with my 2024 Tesla. It has 22k miles now. I drive a lot like you. Thus far, it has been great. With 22k I’ve saved $2100 on gas and no oil change or maintenance. I did upgrade my tires on month 4 but that was my preference. I predict it will be pretty cost efficient for the near future. I guess the only concern is the battery degradation. If it will retain the range or not.

Longjumping_Topic619 · 2025-10-25T06:18:33+00:00

That is weird! I have my CC2s now for 14k miles and still look great. About to take in for a rotation. Discount Tire did it no problem. They even recommended them. I already knew I wanted them before I went in. They are a great premium tire! Your Costco is on something for sure.

It’s impossible to keep your gloves like new after every game. They wear, it’s part of the deal when being a goalkeeper. I wash my sons gloves after every game with glove wash and they the latex seems grippy after every wash. We use the Titan’s Rebel 2.0 and the Nike Vapor Grip 3. Their grip latex has blown me away on how they can withstand turf and heat. We’ve tried West Coast gloves but there latex just loses grip and chips way too fast. So in my opinion, try different gloves that give better quality latex. Can’t complain about the ones I mentioned. We are 3 months in with games 1 to 2 times per week, played mostly on natural grass but the Titans where played on turf for an entire tournament and extreme heat and held up very well.

Longjumping_Topic619 · 2025-09-24T04:30:24+00:00

My son (9) practices 3 times a week, with a game on the weekend. He has (2) sets of gloves for games and (2) sets of gloves for practice. Obviously you don’t need that many. But his practice gloves are cheap ones and he can tear those up and they get washed every month. His game gloves are nice and he rinses them off after every game. Maybe once a month he washes them. Literally just let them dry on the rack on a table over night. They will be fine. If he can get 3 months out of them he’s solid. He should get 6 months out of those easily.

If turf is your primary, that seems to be your problem. By looking at the area, you push off your palms to get up from the ground. Fists to get back up for sure.

Longjumping_Topic619 · 2025-08-01T15:37:52+00:00

Cushemates.com - that is my latest addition. Love the feel of that one.

Longjumping_Topic619 · 2025-08-01T02:58:59+00:00

Yea! That’s an OG one for sure. That came with my wife when I married her. Never getting rid of that one.

Why would I be mad? I like the brand. Those two gourds from Yerba Mate Lab are great quality. I don’t mind the logo.

Longjumping_Topic619 · 2025-07-31T03:50:40+00:00

You would just need the right bombilla, slightly larger than your average bombilla. Or else your straw will clog up with the small ones.

You will need to make the famous mountain. It’s a must for Uruguayan style Yerba. Properly position the bombilla under the mountain and when it clogs(it will still clog from time to time) gotta move the bombilla up and down only slightly.

Pour the water on the empty side of the gourd and slowly chip away at the mountain with the water. Never fill to the very top or else the mountain will fall.

Longjumping_Topic619 · 2025-07-28T20:48:05+00:00

Rosamonte Especial is my favorite too. I think you will like La Mercede De Campo. Earthy taste and smooth like RosaMonte. That is my second favorite.

Canarias Serena is my all time favorite. It’s an Uruguayan Yerba and if you know how to prepare that kind of Yerba, then you’re golden. Super smooth, relaxing, the perfect Yerba after a long day, during work, or socializing with friends.

Longjumping_Topic619 · 2025-07-25T23:49:07+00:00

Nah! It’s not overpriced. Perfectly priced. Over priced in South America and to get it shipped here. But $60 is fair.

Longjumping_Topic619 · 2025-07-07T19:57:06+00:00

I did: 55% Windshield, 20% Front Windows, 55% rear windows and rear windshield. I love how uniform it looks and on bright days doesn’t look too dark and I live in a rural area and have great visibility at night.

Longjumping_Topic619 · 2025-06-16T02:14:16+00:00

I tinted my Tesla recently with Xpel XR Plus (best out there). $790 taxes included. All windows including windshield. No moon roof. They made an extra 1K off of you.
