⚽️ TOP TIP for teaching children to run with the ball! Follow @coachjonnyfff for daily coaching content! When children are running with the ball, encourage them to use their laces to push the ball forwards. It helps them keep their natural running stride, move at speed and travel further with each touch. Using the inside of the foot can slow them down and make their stride feel less natural. Save the inside of the foot for when they need to change direction or dribbling and keeping the ball close. For running with the ball, let them open up and use their laces!
