When developing young players, the term "technical base" is used a lot. For those of you who are new to the sport I'll take the time to explain what this means.
A player's technical base is simply their ability to perform the fundamentals of the sport. A technical base to soccer is the same as the foundation of a house. In order to play in a full sided game, a player must be able to pass the ball, control the ball, dribble the ball, shoot, and tackle. These are the techniques that make up your technical base.
Before you move on to doing Cristiano Ronaldo moves and freestyle juggling tricks, make sure your technical base is sound. Without a foundation your game is sure to collapse!
