What's your height, weight and %bf?
Controll of the ball, technique and standing your ground is equally as important. Pirlo of Italy has the least mileage of any player out there on the field, yet his control / technique / positioning is among the best of the world.
Every evening before I trained myself, I was training youth pupils. There are many exercises out there to improve your skills. Most would be best with a partner.
How do you call it when you keep the ball in the air as long as possible by giving it little kicks? Record was 500 times on the knees only, going left - right - left - right - left.
Tried it today again... Fatigued around 120.
Please keep me updated, never expected to find a serious American soccer player in these parts.
6', 160, 12% body fat ish
Keep ups, juggling? Etc. 500 is crazy... i can't even do 10. I think highest was 6 including knees and both feet lol
And well I can't say I'm this total soccer fanatic but my friends got me in it, and I really want to play
with them. After I took it up, it's seriously really fun lol

It's a great idea. I dribble my basketball in the house all the time and I take extra shots on my net @ home after practices/rec ball/games/etc
The same principle applies in soccer and in anything in life: "practice makes perfect"
Muscle memory and working to get quicker feet and a better feel for the ball should help you out.
Another thing. If you watch matches on TV or if you watch TV at all, practice dribbling or little keep ups; or do push-ups and ab workouts ... or something, maybe work on your flexibility. That way you waste less time. Time is everything.
This was another tip in this free video I got, will do! I'll practice keep ups since I think I need better awareness of the ball
