Drill WC06/10-P6.1-3T, Touch ball every step with changes of direction

P6.1-3T is an abbreviated version of P6.1 (P6.1 is described in the Sept 1 log entry this page). It involves the ball flipped up and kicked forward approx 4.5 feet on L1; the ball kicked at a 90 degree angle to the right on R2; and the ball kicked into the curtain or to the left on T3. The blue and wiggly line in the graphic represents the curtain.

Drill WC06/10-P6.1-5T, Touch ball every step with changes of direction

P6.1-5T is an abbreviated version of P6.1 (P6.1 is described in the Sept 1 log entry this page). It involves the ball flipped up and kicked forward approx 4.5 feet on L1; the ball kicked at a 90 degree angle to the right on R2; the ball kicked at a 90 degree angle to the left on L3; the ball kicked at a 90 degree angle to the right on R4; the ball kicked at a 90 degree angle to the left on L5. All this is done with the ball off the ground. The blue and wiggly line in the graphic represents the curtain. The gray line represents the wall at the far side of the curtain. The ball is kept close to the body but off the ground the entire time. after a foot kicks the ball, that foot skips (two steps in a row). These skips are the only foot movement allowed between kicks.

Drill WC06/10-P6.1-5T-Reverse, Touch ball every step with changes of direction

P6.1-5T-Reverse is an abbreviated version of P6.1 (P6.1 is described in the Sept 1 log entry this page). It is the reversed, mirror image of P6.1-5T. It involves the ball flipped up and kicked forward with the right foot, approx 4.5 feet on R1; the ball kicked at a 90 degree angle to the left with the left foot on L2; the ball kicked at a 90 degree angle to the right with the right foot on R3; the ball kicked at a 90 degree angle to the left with the left foot on L4; the ball touched on R5. The blue and wiggly line in the graphic represents the curtain. The gray line represents the wall at the far side of the curtain. The ball is kept close to the body but off the ground the entire time. after a foot kicks the ball, that foot skips (two steps in a row). These skips are the only foot movement allowed between kicks.

 Drills P6.1-5T-M, P6.1-5T-Rev-M,   P6.1-5T-M45, & P6.1-5T-Rev-M45,  are described in text and graphic here.

Understanding the table: Stats are for David Virgil Hobbs.  R2 Bod Pos: U=body was in upright position on R2; M=Body in medium crouch position on R2. L1R1 Type:  L=leg power emphasized on L1 or R1 (some patterns start with a left-footed kick,  L1 others start with a right-footed kick, R1); B=body power emphasized on L1. Runs: total number of  L1 R2 runs not counting runs involving bad kicks on L1. Total Score: total number of points awarded to runs,  not counting runs featuring bad kick on L1 (Runs are rates from 0-5 on the basis of the quality of the R2 kick, a 3 being what was considered minimally adequate as of Sept 17 2010, the higher the number the better the R2 kick).  Avg: total score divided by Runs. Bad L1: number of runs involving a kick on L1 inaccurate enough that the kick on R2 is rendered extraordinarily difficult or impossible. % L1 Bad: Bad L1 divided by (Runs + Bad L1 Runs). 

 
Starting  11/5/10: Attempted to get up to 5 touches on each run. Style: AF1=maximize body-force, leg-force, and ankle-force on each run. T5 Runs= number of runs that extended to 5 touches, with footwork and angles correct up to the 5th touch. Pattern: Pattern executed.
 
In R2 Bod Pos Column, U means intent during run is that body be  upright on R2, and on kicks subsequent to R2 also.  M means intent during run is that body be in a medium-level crouched position during R2, and on kicks subsequent to R2 also.

 		 For first time, on R2 mentally concentrated on starting right foot to inside of ball prior to kick. On all R2 kicks, intent was outwards sweeping motion with leg.
 
First 35 mins, T5 Runs/minute=0.00; last 25 minutes, T5 Runs/minute=0.24

Perfect=3; perfect & long=1; perfect & fast=0; perfect long & fast = 0 (Dec 18 standards applied retroactively).

At 649 PM, 18 mins into 60 min segment, There was a fast perfect well-angled  four-touch run; the 4th touch was 24 feet from the start point. Thus, the average distance between touches given the zig-zag-type pattern of the run, was 10.7 feet!
 
The run described in the above para was about the 4th such run (4th touch 24' from start point, well angled, fast, correct footwork) today.

Perfect=12; perfect & long=2; perfect & fast=0; perfect long & fast = 0 (Dec 18 standards applied retroactively).

This pattern is the reverse of P6.1-5T which I'd been doing up to today. The pattern done today
gives the left foot more of a chance to develop skill. 
 
First 22 mins, T5 Runs/minute=0.09; last 38 minutes, T5 Runs/minute=0.21

By the end of this second hour I felt much more competent than I did at the beginning of the practice, with regards to doing this particular drill; by the end I felt this drill will be mastered
in a reasonable amount of time.

 Perfect=11; perfect & fast = 3; perfect & long = 3; perfect, long & fast = 3 (Dec 18 standards applied retroactively). By far the best score since Nov 5 for the first hour of the practice. The T5 successes this hour were of a higher quality compared to the T5 successes the second hour.

 Perfect= 7; perfect & fast = 0; perfect long & fast =6. The high score was due IMHO to this being the second hour of practice. The body-emphasis during the first kick, created inconsistency.

 New drill never done before; 3rd & 4th touches with the RF both new and different from previous (but I'm left-footed); first soccer after 9 days no soccer.

  12/15 @Y U B AF1 -- 60 -- P6.1- 5T-M Unscored (in writing); first 20 minutes, AF1 method applied to second touch only, result 8 long fast perfect runs in 20 minutes. Last 40 minutes, AF1 applied not just to second touch of run but to second and all subsequent touches of runs. Last 40 minutes, perfect, long and fast = 10 (could not help keeping score on these in my head, despite absence of written-notes-score). This hour marked the first hour during which I was able to apply AF1 method to touches after the first touch.      
  12/15 @Y M L AF1 -- 60 -- P6.1- 5T-M Unscored (in writing); during entire 60 minutes, AF1 applied not just to second touch of run but to second and all subsequent touches of runs. Perfect, long and fast = 26 (could not help keeping score on these in my head, despite absence of written-notes-score). This hour marked the second hour during which I was able to apply AF1 method to touches after the first touch.

This hour was a milestone, in that excellent results were achieved applying AF1 method to every touch, and in that after this hour, I became convinced that these difficult skills will be mastered in due course of time, result=superstardom.

      
  12/18 @Y U L AF1 20 60 0.33 P6.1- 5T-Reverse Perfect=13 (18-24' length runs); perfect & fast = 0; perfect & long = 8; perfect long & fast = 5.      
  12/18 @Y U B AF1 30 55 0.55 P6.1- 5T-Reverse Perfect=20 (18-24' length runs); perfect & fast = 0; perfect & long = 5; perfect long & fast = 15.

These two hours on December 18, marked another important day. Today for the first time I was able to apply the AF1 method to every touch on P6.1-5T-Rev (reversed, mirror image of P6.1-5T-Rev is P6.1-5T). I could tell today that this ability to apply AF1 method to every touch on P6.1-5T, will allow me to quickly master and perfect P6.1-5T and P6.1-5T-Rev, the result being super-stardom. At least a dozen of the runs today were super-hero-like, covering at least 22 feet with the ball in the air, but kept close to the body, and featuring 3 90-degree turns, 5 touches on the ball, the ball touched on every pace.
