To master elaborate football juggling tricks, with different parts of the body, needs many hours of consistent training.

I was inspired by 2 south korean football jugglers, after watching them doing various football tricks at the national stadium.

I used to trained up to four hours per day, at Woodsville Secondary School.

The secret of mastering amazing football juggling skills, which I innovated a way to improve my juggling skills, by tying the rubber bands together to form chains or strings.

And then tied it on to 3 parts of the football net, which I put the football in it. And connected the strings to the wall.

I use it to train difficult parts of the body, like the heels and the shoulders etc.

These ways so the when I kicked the football, it will bounced back to the original position. Which I didn't needed to pick up the ball again and again.

My record breaking feat of juggling the standard football, 3400 times, where at the Woodsville secondary school, in more than an hour, where I used to train regularly.

I juggled the ball with my head, neck, shoulders, back of the body, my heels, my thighs, my insteps and outsteps in different patterns, non-stop, without the ball dropping on the floor.

Hundreds of Woodsville Secondary and Primary School students saw it, it was around the time, when the morning sessions went home and the afternoon came to school. At around 12 pm. I was juggling the ball between the Secondary and Primary School, basketball court.

I had the foundation laid because during younger days, I needed to wake up early in the morning 4 o'clock, to sent foods to my mother hawker stalls, everyday 365 days with the tricycle.

In front of the tricycle, which I put the food on it, covered it. And placed my bicycle on top of it. My mother sitting behind it.

After sending the food from Mattar Road to Sims Drive hawker centre, I cycled my bicycle to my school, at Upper Aljunied Technical School.

After school, I would cycled back to Sims Drive, picked my mother from the stall together with tricycles and utensils back. Rain or shine, even the tricycle tyres were flat. So these regular trips built up my stamina and endurance.

This record breaking feat were done in 1986 at Woodsville Secondary School few months, after my feats were featured in the TV.

This is the most difficult feat that I had done. Keeping the football in the air 3,400 times in the air for one hour and 20 minutes in different patterns.

What made me attempt such feats was after reading the book "The Will to Win" the story of P. Nurmi the greatest long distance runner, who overcome incredible odds to achieve his records, training 6 and half hours a day.

I was also inspired by the South Korean football jugglers when I saw their feats in the national stadium.

A serious injuries during a football match, had made mr concentrated on ball-juggling to break the world record.

I didn't had a coach, what made me able to master such fantastic skill with my feet, was that every morning during my secondary school days, I needed to ride a tricycle with full loads of foods, my bike and my mother sitting behind, from his home at Mattar Road to the hawker centre at Sims Drives through and forth some distance away, everyday 365 days a year, for many years.

After unloading the foods I got to rush to school with my bike, rain or shine even the tyres were flat. Those years of tough training had made it possible for me to accomplish such amazing feat.

HOW TO MASTER EXTRAORDINARY SOCCER SKILLS
