Tottenham Hotspur FC u9 lockdown training | ball control | dribbling | finishing

This is Carter and he recently signed for Tottenham’s u9s and it is easy to see why. First, and maybe most important, is that he REALLY seems to enjoy his time training. This alone is a sign of a very good player.

Second, while not the biggest guy his skills are quite good for his age. His control while juggling is good, his first touch is excellent and full of confidence. One thing I really like is the change of pace after bringing the ball down. He pushes the ball forward a bit and takes off…..like an experienced player would. It is easy to see Carter has had some good training along the way. I love the last segment. He dribbles one end of the field to the other and works on perfecting 6 different moves along the way and that rainbow…..smooth as silk. And great finishing technique at the end: toes pointed down, ankle locked and quick snap of the leg. He is making great use of his time during lockdown.

We will definitely be keeping an eye on Carter. We are already a fan. Follow his journey on Instagram @ct7carter.
