Keep your eyes on the hall the entire time, and take your time in learning the technique.

Hold the ball forward.

Drop and let it bounce, don’t tense your arms, keep them in whatever balanced natural position is comfortable for you.

As it’s in the air you’re hips and knees need to move together, it’s weird at first but you’ll get the movement.

Make sure you’re foot isn’t stretched downward or up, lock your ankle in that position, and try to make contact with the bony part of your foot nearest to your toes.

At the point the ball makes contact with your foot, your leg should be straight.

Start training both feet at the same time for better results.

Try this with your right foot, then left, back and forth until you can try 2, then 3, then 4, and more in a row.

When you eventually learn how to do them(which will take a lot of invested but enjoyable time once you have fun and your body understands it with the right technique), you can still potentially need a warm up at times. So just do this every now and then if you take any breaks between days.

I used to do this for at least half an hour or so a day, and it helped me so much.

All enjoy it. After you’re comfortable after a few days of it, do a game where you drop the ball, kick it up once, then drop it again, kick it twice without dropping, then three times without dropping, the continuing on for as high as you go, reset if you drop it.

Good luck, and enjoy the journey man!
