How to do Hop The World

The Hope the World is a cool trick to do to show off in front of your friends and to practice your skills. You probably will not be doing this in the game. We will learn it from a foot stall. 

Key Points:

1. Master the foot stall first on your dominant foot. For tips on how to do a foot stall watch my Online Soccer Academy video titled "Soccer Tricks -- How to catch a Soccer Ball on your Foot".

2. Jump with your non dominant foot and push ball up in air with your dominant foot. You do these two motions at the same time.

3. Non dominant foot does an around the world motion around ball in the air and then you juggle. 

Exercise Player Can Do: 

Start off by practicing the motion of the Hop the World without the ball. Once you have the motion and the timing down do the HTW from the Foot Stall. Repeat until you master it! 

What Player Could Be Doing Wrong: 

If you can't get your leg around the ball you are pushing the ball up to high. This trick doesn't require a big touch in the air, a small touch works great. 

If you can't balance the ball long enough on your foot to attempt this trick then stop working on the HTW and focus on catching and holding the ball on your foot. Once you can hold it for 5-10 seconds with ease, then try the HTW. 

Bonus Tip!

Doing the HTW from juggling is more challenging. I'll make a video for it in the future but for the most part the same key points apply. It's all about timing the jump from your non dominant foot at the exact time you take your juggle touch with your dominant foot.
