    Hello,
    I have a very strong right foot. And I know a bag load of jukes and feints. I have more games than Milton Bradley! :p Well, the thing is that my feet are a bit slow. Well actually my legs? What are some good drills/excercise for me? Cristiano Ronaldo level :rolleyes:

    Let me try to re-phrase this... I have speed when running, but I want to make jukes and feints faster and smoother.

    the only thing to do is practice.......when u can smoothly complete your tricks ....just practice them by adding speed to the juke...

    Exactly. Half the kids on the street in Costa Rica and Brazil can do those things just as fast as him and they never did any drills. Just practice and speed up when you've got them down pat.

    Agree with above (well not the exageration about half the kids in Brazil having world class skills). The impression I get is that you want to improve your speed with the ball. Training with the ball will help. But you should be training your left foot as much as your right. Being able to use both feet makes you tactically faster because you can always play the ball with the best placed foot. This saves time which is the same thing as making you faster.

    I've always believed dribbling comes naturally. You can still learn, but some people you can just tell were born with it(Pele, Garrincha, Denilson, Zico, Maradona, Ortega, Jay-Jay Okocha, Zidane), and others its still good but obviously forced(Owen).
