9-Year-Old Soccer Prodigy Has RIDICULOUS Touch! 🔥

i want to be a professional soccer player jalen's greatest skill that i've seen as a soccer player is dedication and when he sees his other friends doing it he wants to do it he wants to do it better if they if they do a rainbow kick in the game well he wants to do the same thing so it's just his dedication to to really honing his craft and being the best he can be even at nine years old really one step ahead of his game and he's so humble that you wouldn't even know nine years old that you would never think that could get out there and play that game like that i would say what's really unique about jalen's talent is his um natural ability to grasp things within one or two attempts you know he'll see it and then give him give him five minutes and bam he's got it he's like a little gift from god i mean everything he touches he masters so there's not nothing that i don't think that little boy will be able to conquer my name is jalen a bar and i'm nine years old and i play soccer [Music] i practice about four hours every day i've began coaching jalen in june of 2018. and he's basically been in my life every day since we train multiple times a week and obviously i see him on the weekends he's been in the residency last two years he does a residency program so he goes he goes to the program eight o'clock and he trains until about 11 which is whenever they do their lunch time and then from 11 to two they have a teacher come in to do their education and then from two to four it's training again so it's really just always on the ball and he works with this team like it's a residency of 17 kids and a lot of these kids are on his own team what you see here is the field where forms academy residency is housed the concept behind this is you have high level players going to school and training with each other the parents get off work pick up the kids they don't have additional training to go to it's they can be regular kids the rest of the evening so all the training the hard work he puts into it i mean five days a week week we were at one time every weekend it's like what are we doing this weekend i was like you know what we're doing this weekend we're going to watch jalen play soccer what allows him to play the way he plays is he's he's inquisitive he's curious he'll see something and he may not talk about it he may look at it and you can see him thinking you can see the world's turning in he's like i'm gonna see if i can try that how do we get magic if we don't allow you to experiment and that's what it is so i started coaching jaylen you know like i said i was just a youtube soccer dad um and once i realized that like he had potential that's when i i went seek help i was like okay i need more for my kids opening up getting them wider changing levels and so those are all things that we worked on today from his balance his coordination i just wanted to see that he still had those areas aligned still with his game and then of course as you see uh he's doing it so i chose those particular exercises because i always feel like we want to activate the muscles so that's what you saw us do with the band so we were activating his calves ankles knees hips and also just trying to get him to change levels for that balance that we're looking for and then the last uh movements that we did were the transverse patterns where he we were sticking at the end on the high knees and then we were crossover stepping out i like technique and skills more than juggling because you can't really juggle on a game that's not really helpful but you can use technique and skills in a game i just like making people dive it's like really fun doing that try anything make a mistake good it's an opportunity to fix it how do you fix it and then what do you learn from that so um the way that he's playing is not it's it's not systematic there's no pattern there's nothing that is predictable about it because we don't know what he's gonna do it's completely up to his imagination you know hey coach ron i saw someone do this can i try it i started playing soccer whenever i was three years old i didn't really know much about soccer until my mom just wanted me to start playing soccer and because like she played soccer and then my sister played soccer my family is like addicted to soccer so i did encourage him to play just because i played when i was younger and growing up my whole life my parents loved watching soccer like they're big like mexico fans my mom is from mexico so she's like just soccer every day you know i saw a little glimpse in the very first game he ever played he scored a goal i was like 3v3 indoors but he'd never played before never touched the ball prior to that and i was like okay so yeah he's solid he would just be running around all of these other kids and you know scoring all of the goals and he really did stand up since he was very little he was just born with a ball in his hand and it was a soccer ball and and his dad i mean all the videos that we see from itty bitty to now and how he's grown he's just flying down the field he's out running kids that are taller than him maybe a year or two older than him but he's just he's handling himself like he's like he's been here before like he's been doing this before and it was just it was a joy to see i mean at the end of the day he's just a kid he's around his uncles he's around his his sister and and you see jalen for who he really is i mean he's he everyone else see on youtube and things like they see him they see the soccer feed now we see the other side i really believe he's just a genuinely his own unique person when he comes to the house he'll you know he'll jump on gimps and they got a little saying that they say camps your show is ugly we didn't push it on him to be a professional soccer player he saw that he was good and you know he said his goal was to be a professional soccer player and so as a dad you know i said okay i will do everything i can in my power to help you achieve that goal if janet sticks with it i mean he's already on path and set to set his path to be become a professional he'll get picked up pretty early honestly for him i really do think that him just being a professional athlete he's always said that that's what he wants to be when he grows up so if he doesn't do this as a living like being an athlete himself then he'll probably be the one to teach kids and guide them in the right directions jalen's future is limitless if you ask me because we've instilled this work deck in him so at such an early age that it just doesn't matter what he decides to take on in life he's going to be successful but for him our goal has always been college and we're going to stick to you know playing college soccer that's going to forever be our goal because that's how we started out so if we're able to go pro that's a bonus it's a major bonus obviously but it is a bonus as long as we get him into college then you know we've done our job as parents because um you know ultimately all we want to do is sell our kid up for success but um for jalen i genuinely believe that the sky is the lane for him he's so young he's only nine but he's already stood out to so many different coaches all over the world like we've had coaches from brazil from all over the united states from europe from barcelona just come and like congratulate us and tell us that they have been watching him and like you know to keep working at it so i really do believe that this is his path in life that he will one day be a professional soccer player thank you for watching make sure to check out other no days off videos [Music] you
