Definitely a good test of agility but impractical as a training regime. I give it Q out of potato stars.

I remember doing some stupid shit like this when i was a kid, tripped, went flying backwards hit the back of my head on a drywall. Was fine and no damage but was close to hitting a 10-15lbs weight instead. Spooky stuff

While impressive seems like a dumb way to practice.

Not extreme enough. Need a pile of Legos at the end of the treadmill.

And no shoes.
But yeah what's the effin point of this? Why do it on a treadmill at all? Why not just do it on flat ground? What's the difference?

Exactly. Just put some cones on the ground and dribble as fast as you can.

This is more just flexing than actual practise

You can tell this isn’t me by the way that there’s a treadmill in the GIF.

The video speeds itself up, I'm not crazy, right?

Yep. You can tell by the shadow movement out the window.

I am thoroughly disappointed the person putting stuff through didn't yeet themselves onto the treadmill. 7/10

That looks pretty skilful to me.

Dang that's some quick ball control, on a treadmill no less lol

Good skill, but risk/reward seems off to me. One misstep and you’re out for quite some time

As a guy who's pro soccer career ended with a series of bad ankle injuries, I would just like to say "welcome to a lifetime of physiotherapy"!

Why are they throwing cell phones down a treadmill to dodge? That's some rich person bs right there.

This seems just outlandishly likely to hurt yourself. Like, I've gotten treadmill burns real bad before, and while they're not likely to cause lasting damage but they suck SO bad.

She could really assert dominance when the second soccer ball shows up by dribbling both at once.

Pretty sure moving the ball 4 inches to the left or right while jogging doesn't help u much on the pitch, but I don't play so what do I know.

100% does. This kind of close control is why players like Messi are so good. They don't need tons of space to maneuver, just a tiny little gap to move the ball into for their next touch. This is what sets technically gifted dribblers apart from players like Haaland and Ronaldo, who are more about finding space without the ball and clinical finishing.

MaximumEffurt t1_j1li6ib wrote

I get the principle, but this seems off to me. Doing this with cones on a field would be more practical, I would think. But again, I don't know shit about what is more practical for footwork training in this regard.

noobvorld t1_j1li98c wrote

Yeah you're definitely right about that. This is just asking for injury. Looks great, does very little that other drills can't do.

I would punt that ball in friends face if they started throwing stuff on a treadmill I was on. But then again the ball wouldn't be there if my friend didn't throw it onto the treadmill so how could I have kicked a ball that wasn't there..uhhh...my heads

Where are people’s sense of humor? If this video was made by two guys and posted on r/justguysbeingdudes the comments would taste quite different.
