The wall is your best friend. It is never sick, never goes on vacation, is never too tired to train, the wall loves to train, it gives back to you what you give to it and will put into every workout as much work as you do. The wall doesn’t care if it is raining or cold, if it is early in the morning or late at night. The wall is always there for you and has been a close, cherished friend of every world class soccer player on the planet. The wall is there for you and can help you achieve greatness. Please, come meet your new best friend, the wall.
Coaching points to remember during wall workouts.
To keep the ball from popping up, step through the center of the ball and step down toward target after the pass.
Place pass foot (after you’ve stepped through the ball) in front of the other foot.
Keep foot externally rotated to ensure ball travels in a straight line.
When stepping down after a pass, keep weight on front of the ball of foot with you heel slightly lifted, this makes it easier to change directions if needed.
Keep body shape rounded and moving forward and keep balance.
Keep body square; don’t swing leg across your body.
