Heel Pop Soccer Trick

The heel pop is a fun way to challenge your skills and show off in front of your friends at training. 

Key Points:

1. Bring dominant leg around plant foot
2. Stick toe in ground, heel pointed straight up
3. Don't move foot when ball hits your foot
- if you lift your foot up to early it will act like a shock absorber and take the bounce out of the ball. You want your foot/heel to be hard like a rock so the ball just bounces right off it!
4. Ball needs be over your heel in the air -- straight up and down. Not coming from the side. 

Exercise Player Can Do: 

Start off going through the motions of this soccer trick first. Once you got it, then take the ball and toss it to the side of you, let it bounce, then do the heel pop. After you are feeling confident from the bounce try it from tossing the ball with no bounce or straight from juggling. Repeat until you have mastered it! 

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong: 

If the ball isn't getting a high enough bounce from your heel it is because the ball wasn't kicked high enough in the first place or you are moving your foot to early. Keep your toe pushed into the ground so your heel is hard like a rock when the ball hits it. 

Bonus Tip!

Using less spin on the ball when juggling makes the heel pop easier!
