Today centers on Masterclass lesson number four, where we focus on “the ball and the wall.”
As I’ve always said, the wall is the best teacher. Don’t just take my word for it — listen to the countless historical and current professional soccer players who swear by it. If you take the time to work by yourself with a wall, in a very deliberate and specific manner, you will drastically increase your capacity as a soccer player, particularly your technique.
Benny Rogers joins me once again.
Of course, we meander a bit, taking tangents here and there to discuss other soccer-related topics, but we always bring it back to this core lesson.
Our previous three podcast episodes covered Masterclass lessons one, two, and three, each tackling different topics. If you haven’t listened to those yet, you might want to check them out. This episode continues our series, going lesson by lesson through the Masterclass.
