Description

”Learn to Play The Brazilian Way” is a one-hour coaching video where Simon demonstrates the techniques, skills and training methods that the Brazilians have used for decades and explains their skill and athleticism.  Simon uses kids from his schools to help demonstrate each move to the camera and this is often interspersed with video of Brazilians using the same techniques in actual games.  Simon goes through various moves and tricks including moves to beat players, dribbling, juggling, turns, traps, passing and of course, shooting. Many of the skills presented would enable you to practice alone and then some require a pair. A minor criticism is that some of the skills are demonstrated too quickly (slow-mo may help here) for the viewer to easily see exactly how the skill is performed.  Clifford does a good job of encouraging the kids on the video and really gives the impression that he knows what he’s talking about.
