Organization:

Players with a ball each in a 30x20 yard (open) grid.

Instructions:

The Coach will inquire, with his players, about the dribbling

characteristics of three of the top players in the world: Messi, Xavi

and Ronaldo. The Coach will use these three players to paint the

picture and build the foundation for each player to learn.

Coaching Points:

Painting the Picture of each one of the player's characteristics:

* MESSI: Head up looking to get into the gaps using small, quick

touches with the Pinky Toe (outside of the foot).

* XAVI: Head up to recognize when there's no gaps/space, then

change of direction (12 o'clock to 6 o'clock), ball comes out of your

feet, and then head and eyes up getting into the new space.

* RONALDO: Head up to see when there's a lot of space in front of

you, then big touch to accelerate and get your head/eyes up and

attack the space.
