Yeah you're definitely right about that. This is just asking for injury. Looks great, does very little that other drills can't do.

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.

Nope. Mumbai's beaches have been getting progressively cleaner, and while there's still more than can be done, I think it's a great start. I've grown up on those beaches and I've seen first hand how different they look compared to what they did 10+ years ago.
