First Thing's First: First Touch



When we play futsal, we don't usually think much. It just flows.

The best players in the world do this. They play with instinct. But what most people sometimes fail to realize is that this instinct is harnessed from hours and hours of conscious training on the pithc/court. There are only a handful of players who are born with the natural gift of football.

For the rest of us, there is only one way to get better and that is to train.

And I can pretty much assure you the most important aspect of futsal that deserves utmost priority is the First Touch. A deft first touch sets you up with the best possible chance of beating your marker. A pure first touch makes the difference between an inch of space to shoot or a yard.

A video from Nike here featuring Cesc Fabregas emphasizes the importance of the First Touch.
