Hacky sack, like other sports, requires certain skills and abilities. The body needs to be trained to achieve these skills and abilities in hacky sack so dropping the foot bag never happens. Learn how to build your body to perform hacky sack skills with ease.

Difficulty: Moderately Easy
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Achieve a rhythmic way of breathing while your body performs hacky sack tricks. Allow the air to flow into your body so you move fluidly like a mystic dancer. Practice this enough so the breathing becomes natural without thinking about it.

  2. Step 2

    Stay loose as much as you can as you breathe, keeping your extremities relaxed. Clinching the fists and putting them in your pocket prevents your body from staying loose. It means a dropped foot bag for sure.

  3. Step 3

    Compare pacing the rhythm of your hacky sack skills to the pacing of a runner who breathes. When you hacky sack, you start by standing in one place, breathing naturally. As you perform your hacky sack gyrations or tricks with your foot bag, you need to breathe fully but faster. Once you pass the foot bag to another person, stay calm and breathe naturally, keeping a comfortable state.

  4. Step 4

    Take the foot bag back from the other person and be ready to breathe faster like a runner. Perform your tricks and stunts while maintaining rhythmic breathing and notice how your hacky sack skills improve and the foot bag never drops. You have developed your hacky sack skills so they feel quite natural.

Tips & Warnings
  • Learning to stay loose while kicking your foot bag takes practice and concentration.
  • People who drop their foot bags need to relax and concentrate more on hacky sack as a rhythmic motion.
