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

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?

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

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.

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.

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

While impressive seems like a dumb way to practice.

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

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.

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

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

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.
