| The Coerver method is centered on ball mastery – “the mother and father of all training topics,” says Coerver co-founder Alfred Galustian.
The idea is that football is a team game played by individuals, and that those individuals will be happier and more effective if every single one of them is confident when in control of the ball – not just seeking to get rid of it and pass to “the best player”. Coerver’s 99 Skills to Ball Mastery approach will improve a player’s touch (creating more time on the ball), control (and therefore confidence), flexibility (and thus adaptability) – and even that weaker foot. Ball mastery should be the foundation of every soccer player’s development: Learn how to dance with the ball at your feet, by introducing this Coerver Coaching drill into your training sessions. Coerver Coaching ball mastery is the key to becoming a great soccer player. Spend time with the soccer ball and master it.
