Hello everyone. It's no news that the Andre Gray Football Academy is the newest platform that's built on the steem blockchain that encourages young talented people through the steem blockchain for carrying out different football drills as released by Andre Gray and rewarding active participants thereafter. The platform is the very first football coaching academy on the blockchain which aims to help everyone especially those from an underprivileged background by providing basic football drills for them to carry out. Since the inception of the platform, there have been numerous posts and football drills that have been carried out by both steemians and non-steemians and their appreciation for Andre Gray cannot be overlooked.
Currently, on the project website there are six different drills that individuals can participate in and get rewarded by the pioneer of the platform, Andre Gray. He's a professional footballer that plays for Watford Fc in the English Premier League and has what it takes to really teach the football lovers on steemit and beyond on how to go about these basic skills in football. Slowly, it's been evident from the numerous posts released by individuals using the platform on how far they have improved through the help of Andre Gray.
I recently gave an insight on what the Instep pass is as we equally watched the drill which I posted for a clearer understanding on what it entails. Also, there are numerous drills one can participate in when you click on the project website. And once these drills have been published using the platform it will get an upvote from Andre Gray himself.
The second drill I want to talk about is the passing and heading skill which is very vital and important among every footballer or football lover.
Passing And Control
The passing and control is another important skill one must possess both as a footballer and a football lover. Unlike the instep-pass, the passing and control drill involves two things, First, you'll learn how to pass the ball hard to a teammate and also, how to receive the ball. The ball can come in different forms, either from the air where you'll have to use either your head or chest to control the ball or on the ground where you'll have to use your legs to control the ball. The passing and control aren't as easy as it seems but I guess the video I posted can help everyone understand how to control the ball. You can watch the video here
