"My name is Tim Boucher soccer coach of LaSalle Academy for Expert Village. Notice Ryan now, Ryan's not doing a good trap he's just punching the ball back at the person not in control, using his knee, it's going all kinds of different directions. Now if you watch, yes see how he moved to the side, he didn't stay square to the ball. You want to stay square to the ball. When you do that it allows the defender to come up and get the ball. And we'll switch, go to the chest. Now notice with the chest we talked about you want to stay square and when you don't when it comes to your chest the ball doesn't brush off of you and go by you, someone else will get the ball. You want to make sure you control it so that it stays at your feet, so you control the ball. This is what you don't want to look like."
