With his parents watching intently, Little Billy presses the ball up the field while analyzing the movements of his opponent.

 

Deftly keeping the ball under control, he visually imagines himself performing the next movement flawlessly, just like the consultant at the soccer school was talking about.

 

Time seems to slow down as his legs and arms relax, and his mind enters a Zen-like state.

 

Squaring up to his opponent, he pushes the ball slightly forward to his supporting leg

 

Then instantly flicking the ball horizontally down the wing as his opponents is wrong footed, he uses his speed to accelerate past him....WHOOSH

 

Next, a Ronaldinho Flip-Flap freezes the sweeper.

 

BAM! a powerful shot sails past the hapless goalie who has been mesmerized by the awesome display of talent unfolding in front of him. GOOOOOOAAAAALLLLLL!

 

But then reality sets in:

Father Yells "Don’t get to close to the defender , he'll steal the ball from you!"

Coach screams "Cross it Cross it!"

Assistant Coach screams: "Shoot ! Shoot!"

 

I take this picture as the ball squirts harmlessly off of Billy's foot over the touch line.
