EA Sports: Soccer Dribbling Skills

EA Sports, of video game fame, has teamed up with US Soccer to create some very cool training videos.

The videos are taught by John Hackworth, the U.S. Soccer Development Academy Technical Director, and demonstrated by some real youth soccer players as well as some video game representations of soccer players.
