Have you heard of this thing called "The Master's cycle"? It's a juggling trick where you juggle the ball with 12 different bodyparts to complete one cycle. Here's how it goes: 1 top of one foot 2 top of other foot 3 inside of one foot 4 inside of other foot 5 outside of one foot 6 outside of other foot 7 one knee 8 other knee 9 one shoulder 10 head 11 other shoulder 12 chest Once you complete the cycle you start again. The so-called norm is 16. When you can do 16 cycles you are a Master! One of Estonia's best footballers completed the norm when he was 12! And finally did about 200 cycles. I have done only 1 full cycle about twice. No more. Have any of you tried this? How many did you do? If you haven't, maybe try in next time you're with a ball and post here how you did!
how do you even practice going from your shoulder to your head to your shoulder it is so hard. Other than that part, it is pretty simple.
Yeah, it took me quite a bit of time to get it one time, but once I figured out the pattern and got into a rhythm, it became a BIT easier. Not easy, but a BIT easier.
Wow future professional hacky-sackers in the making. THe first time I ever did the cycle I was playing the hacky sack segment of "California Games" on Nintendo
I will try but I can't imagine it going over too well. It sounds like a fun thing to do though and I think I'll start practicing it. Where did you hear about this?
I read it in a book "Story of the Lions" about an Estonian boys team that raised the players that are now in the national squad, like Mart Poom from Derby County. And recently one of our best players (Martin Reim - the same guy who holds the record for master's cycles) did a soccer skills tv program and showed it in there too.
