My cousin loves to play soccer, but the problem was that soccer didn’t seem to fit him. He would attend practices and even spend extra time on the field, rain or shine, to improve his skills. There would be instances where he would be the only kid left practicing and he would still go ahead and repeatedly kick the soccer ball into the goal. On those days, he often gets more tired recovering the ball than practicing.
That’s when my aunt saw an ad for a soccer rebounder online. He got one for my cousin so he could keep practicing even in his backyard. The rebounder also saved him the time of retrieving the ball from the net, as the ball bounced back to him or to the ground depending on how the team chose to set up. Soccer rebounders also have a built-in target that allows you to improve your accuracy.
My cousin spent countless hours in his backyard practicing with the football rebounder, and sure enough, during his team’s next practice, the coach saw an improvement in his playing. Not only did his soccer skills improve in general, but he was also able to score two goals as he was able to direct the soccer ball perfectly to go where he wanted it to go!
The football rebounder was a wonderful investment on my aunt’s part. He helped my cousin improve his game and eventually won an MVP award for his efforts. The award lifted his spirits and improved the way he communicates with the rest of the children and, as a result, he has gained a particular confidence that he did not have before.
