Introduction Hello, my name is Sean D'Arcy and I'm a professional football freestyler. I travel all over the world doing demonstrations and teaching players how to do tricks. I'm going to show you how to do the amazing juggling tricks you see the world's best footballers doing. Learning the tricks will improve your coordination, balance and ball control, and make you more confident using your weaker foot when you play football. I've always loved freestyle and when I had to give up playing football because of illness I became a freestyler because I couldn't imagine my life without kicking a football in some way. I practised and practised and worked really hard, and so now, although I'm not a professional footballer, I feel I'm almost living my dream because football is still such a big part of my life. First, there is a chapter 1 with exercises and then chapter 2 with juggling drills to get you started. I've divided the tricks themselves into three different chapters.

Chapter 3 shows you flick-ups. This is when the ball is on the ground and you use your feet to get it up into the air. You can do all of the flick-up tricks before you learn to juggle a ball. Chapter 4 is catches and I'll show you a way to practice the catch from your hands so again you can do all these tricks before you learn to juggle. Chapter 5 is all about juggling tricks and you'll need to be able to juggle a ball to do these amazing tricks. I've had a fantastic time writing this book and I know you'll enjoy learning all the tricks. If you need any more tips or advice, check out my website at www.footballtricks.
