| David Beckham was undoubtedly one of my favourite | | | | You'll able to see what's behind the making of this |
| football player in the last decade. He launched his very | | | | DVD involving David Beckham and other crews. The |
| first soccer skills DVD in the year 2004 and I | | | | kids in this DVD have a once in lifetime chance to ask |
| immediately bought this DVD to give it a try. | | | | questions regarding David's personal life and |
| Here's my personal review of the David Beckham's | | | | professional career. I personally love to watch the kids |
| soccer skills DVD. | | | | playing a football game with David. Some of it are |
| An attractive rectangular-shaped DVD case includes | | | | funny and some are interesting. |
| two sets of DVD; Disc 1 and Disc 2. Disc 1 covers the | | | | Special Effects |
| main programme and Disc 2 covers the extras like | | | | A 'cool' feature for those who likes to know more |
| Behind the Scenes. | | | | about the technology used to motion capture, time slice |
| Select your favourite or weakest skill and drill through | | | | and slow motion effects. I found this one to be |
| a user-friendly main menu interface. | | | | interesting because I get to study David's movement |
| Disc 1 | | | | and technique in absolute detail. |
| The main programme shows every football skills and | | | | David's Football Highlights |
| drills like crossing, space making skills, free kicks etc | | | | Watch David Beckham's important moments for |
| personally guided by David himself. | | | | Manchester United, England and possibly in footballing |
| Basic Skills : ball control and turning skills ( e.g Cruyff | | | | history. Some of you may want to replay his goal from |
| Turn) | | | | the half way line against Wimbledon in 1996. |
| Off-the-ball skills : a) Defending skills : closing down and | | | | DVD Rom |
| defendingb) Attacking skills : space making skills, | | | | Users are able to print out the coaching plan of the |
| forward play and working for space | | | | skills and drills so that you can always refer and |
| Passing skills : passing and long balls ( e.g chipping) | | | | practice. |
| Finishing and Set-Pieces : finishing and free kicks | | | | My Recommendation |
| All football skills are explained in greater depth and | | | | Newbies in soccer are recommended to watch this |
| shown in step by step with slow motion. One of the | | | | comprehensive DVD as you'll learn the skills and drills |
| 'cool' features I found in this DVD is the split screen | | | | related to the actual situation in football matches and |
| showing both the step by step and the execution in | | | | also receive useful tips from David himself. |
| 'real' time. | | | | However it lacks entertaining skills like step overs |
| David also guide the kids with his personal experiences | | | | which might go against 'artistic' players. Experience |
| by encouraging them to improve their weaker foot | | | | players may like to reinforce certain basic skills that |
| and also the importance of first touch in a 'real' football | | | | they're weak at. Until now I'm still watching this DVD to |
| match. | | | | improve my weaker left foot. |
| Disc 2 | | | | In general, the DVD is great, user friendly along with |
| Special Features | | | | good replay value at an affordable price. |
