My Extremely Handsome Son George Goes Around The World Twice.

This bit of ball control is called 'around the world'. It involves moving the foot 360 degrees around the ball, and still keeping control after completing the move. It is a difficult enough skill to complete one turn. Here in this video my extremely handsome son George, manages to turn his foot around the ball twice!

You have to be fast to do this skill. Don't blink or you will miss it. The double happens at about 48 seconds in.

Bonnie the ginger cat appears to saunter casually by. Do not let her apparent disinterest in proceedings fool you. She is attention seeking, and always tries to get into the act!


George is not an attention seeker. This I believe, is why he loses control of the ball, when I mention that I'm going to put this on my blog.

He is a good lad though, and has made no objection to me doing so.

Surprisingly blogger has let me upload it too. It is doing so as I type. However this has happened before. The last time it told me an upload was successful, hardly anyone managed to actually see it. I'm hoping for better luck this time.

Around the world twice. That's quite something!

I just had a warning appear. Something about high memory usage. I'm not giving up though. The world deserves to see my extremely handsome son's achievement!

Here I am again. After saying I'm not giving up. I have. Blogger told me it had completed the upload, but still carried on uploading! I think an hour and a half is too long. I'm off to youtube. See what I can do there.

Looks like youtube managed it. Now I just have to get it from there to here. Hmm.. How did I do that the last time?

Success at last! I hope.

Here he is then. My extremely handsome son George in action. Sorry about the delay.


For some reason I find that bit at the end, where he loses control when I mention putting it on my blog, very funny!

    EHS George is gifted. Ity is obvious that he has spent a lot of time training. You have every right to be proud.

    Hey! He is very good! I would say that must have taken many years practice to do that around the world twice. Good job.

    He's a great kid to be so patient with you. And he is so talented.I hope he gets to play in the top teams. The team I support in the A-League is Brisbane Roar and they play in the first leg of the finals this afternoon. I can't wait, I love watching them play (TV) and urging them on. Everyone knows that the Australian League is second rate but I still enjoy following my team. Our best players go overseas to play in better competitions. Our Media and money support Rugby and that is all we hear about. No money and no confidence in soccer. It is so sad when it is the world game.

    OK- I'm impressed, but what use is that in a game? Or is it just a control exercise.

    Your son is indeed very good looking, must be from the dad's side of the family. Good control of the ball. Happy blogging to you. :)
