Does John Farnworth have talent? Do you know anyone who can do any tricks similar to those on this video? Have you ever played soccer? What is you opinion of soccer? Do you plan to play soccer in the future? How does this athlete's control of the ball prepare him for the game?

I definitely think that John Farnworth has talent. It is reall cool that he can do all of those things. Yes, I do know someone that can do tricks sort of similar to John Farmworth. I have never played soccer in a league before. I pretty much play for fun with my friends and in gym class. My opinion of soccer that it is really cool to watch but I wouldn't want to play it. I am pretty good at most sports but I am really clumsey. So, a sport that requires me to use my feet wouldn't turn out so well for me. :) I do not plan to play soccer in the future except for with friends. The athletes control of the ball prepares him for the game by being able to move faster with the ball and keep it from being stolen.

Yes he has talnet that is awesome! Audia Bartlett can do alittle of that stuff. Yes,I played soccer when i was 5 & 6 it was so fun then. I cant stand soccer now it is so boring. I wouldnt play soccer anymore because i'm in to basketball now. It helps them be aware of where the ball is at, and so the can keep controll of it. This was an awesome video.

Yes he has talent. I do not know any body that can do that. Yes I have played soccer on a team, when I was little. I think soccer is okay. I do not plan on playing soccer in the future. It helps him with ball control. I liked this video alot.
Yes.No I do not.Yes I have.It is awsome.No.so they can keep it and score a goal.
Yes, John Farnworth does have a lot of talent. It would be absolutely amazing if I could do all the tricks that he did in the video. Yes, I do know someone who can do these tricks. I've seen Brianna Woodburn do some of them on the rare occasion that we would play soccer together. Yes, I have played soccer before. I played when I was 7, 9, 10, 11, and I was going to play this last year, but I unfortunately didn't get too. I do hope to play soccer on Fairmont Senior's soccer team when I get to high school. If you have good control of the ball you can have more of a chance to score and you have less chance of losing the game because you kept getting the ball stolen.

no i do not think that john farnworth has ANY talent what so ever. yes i do know some people who can do similar tricks. yes i have played soccer but only in gym. that is the only place. i dont really care for soccer because you have to move your feet to much and it gets me off balance. no i really dont care to play soccer in the future because i do NOT like soccer like some people. i dont really know because i dont pay that much attention when we were learning how to play soccer.
John Farnworth definitely has talent. It takes a lot of practice to be able to move the ball around on your body like that.
I can do some of the tricks and so can my soccer team. A small portion of our practice is usually dedicated to stuff like that. My soccer coaches can do most of these things. One of my coaches had over 200 headers at one time when he was nineteen years old!
I have been playing soccer since I was five years old and I plan to play it for the rest of my life. It is a great sport and it keeps me in shape. I also like hanging out with people from all over even though I am very competitive.
I personally think that soccer is the greatest sport on the planet because wherever you go, there is always a soccer team.
I plan to play soccer in high school and college along with my travel team. Soccer takes me places and I hope to earn a scholarship by playing soccer.
When you control the ball, you can maneuver around the defenders to get to the goal to score. If the ball is bouncing out of bounds, you can juggle (soccer term for bouncing it on your body such as your thigh, foot, or head) it back in bounds. It also boosts your confidence when you control the ball because you feel that you are good enough to be the best player on the team.

Yes, John Farnworth does have talent! Besides his natural talent, I'm sure he has a lot of patience and practices to get all of the moves with the soccer ball that he does. I don't know anyone at all who can do tricks like he can. No, I have never played soccer myself, but I like to watch it on television. I think soccer is a great sport that requires a lot of talent and practice. You have to be really physically fit to play soccer because you are running constantly. I do not plan to play soccer in the future because even though I enjoy watching it, it is not my favorite sport. John Farnworth's control of the ball prepares him for the game because it gets his hand and eye coordination and his balance ready, and his mind set to the game. If you can control and balance the ball that well, you are going to play a great game.

Yea, John Farnworth has lots of talent.
No, I don't know anyone who can do tricks like him... except for my little sister's old soccer coach.
I STRONGLY DISLIKE soccer. I think it's one of the worst sports ever. But some of my friends play, like Colbi, Midge, Maddie Stevenski, and Rachel K. My little has played since she was 8, and it's her favorite sport.
I don't like soccer, never did, never played, and I am NEVER going to play, ever in my life.
But the athlete's control of the ball will help him to go faster, without getting it taken from him.

Yes, I think John Farnworth has talent. I know a couple who know how to perform tricks similar to those that John does. Yes i have played soccer for 9ish years now. I love it! I can imagine kids not participating in sports, let alone soccer. Yes, i plan on playing soccer in my future. I want to play when i reach high school. Controlling the ball can help the athlete during a game because he could be a striker and have to dribble down the field without losing it to the other team.

Yes he has talent
The coach I had when I was on a travel soccer team could do these tricks, he is from Trinidad, he coached the University High Girls team. I learnt some tricks from him. I played soccer from the time I was 8 years old, I haven't played for about a year though. I really have been focused on Basketball. I think soccer is a lot of fun and a competitive sport, My position was mostly the center forward or also called the Striker. Soccer takes concentration and coordination, it also keeps you in shape. I might play soccer in High school. The athletes control of the ball is kind of like Basketball you have to keep the ball close to you, always looking up while you dribble expecting to make a good pass or score a goal.

I think John Farnworth has a lot of talent! No, I do not know anyone who can do tricks similar to John Farnworth. Yes, I have played soccer I do not like it very much and I'm not very good at it. I think soccer is kind of boring and I don't really understand it enough to get it. No, I don't plan to play soccer in the future. An athlete’s control has to with his game a lot because it helps him score a goal if he has a lot of control on the ball. This helps soccer players in a huge way.
Dude! yeah he has talent, and lots of it! I don't no a single soul who can do tricks such as those he performed. I played soccer in the second grade, but lost interest in it. I like soccer, but with all sports, in the end they're stupid. I would not play soccer again, not even for a billion dollars. I think that if you can control the ball you control the game.

Yes he is very talented!!! No I don’t think I know anyone that can do these tricks like he does. Yeah I’ve played for fun but no not on a team. I like soccer but I would rather do cheerleading because it is my life. Nahh I don’t think so I’ll stick to cheerleading. I think it gets him pumped for the game.

John Farnworth definitly has talent. I have never seen anyone else do tricks like these. I play soccer occasionally, but I have never played on an actually team. Soccer is really fun, but you have to have control of the ball at all times. I seriously doubt that I will play soccer in the future. I am really not that good. This athlete's control of the ball is crucial in the game and his control in these tricks is amazing.

John Farnworth definitely has talent. Anyone who can do what he does is gifted. I have never seen someone do these kinds of tricks with a soccer ball before. He must practice a lot. He must be very dedicated. I have seen a few professional soccer players on tv do some tricks, but nothing like what John can do. They may be able to do a lot more tricks, but they don't have time to do them during their soccer games. They might do them while they are warming up before the game and we just don't see it.
I do play soccer. I have played since I was in the second grade. I've been playing for the last six years. I play spring and fall soccer which is two times a year. My dad has been my coach since I started soccer. My team has won two state championships. We came in second-twice at the Katie Riffle Tournament. This fall my soccer team won first place.
I love playing soccer more than anything else I've done. We have kids on our team that are talented players. It takes a lot of dedication and team work to be a good soccer player. There is always room for improvement. You can always learn from someone else. On days I don't have soccer practice, I will go outside and kick the ball. I am trying to get my kicks stronger. I usually play mid field, so I need to have a strong kick. I also must be able to aim the ball where I want it to go. Not just kick it anywhere on the field. I need to be able to kick it to my team mate.
I want to play soccer in high school. I want to be able to play in the games, so I will be doing a lot more practicing this summer. There will be a lot more kids on the team. I probably won't get to play as much as I do now, but my time will come. I want the experience of playing on a high school soccer team. I want to be able to play against other high school teams. Soccer is my passion.
I think John's control of the soccer ball prepares him for the game by the discipline he has to be able to do such hard tricks. This teaches him patience, while he is in the game he will not become annoyed or provoked by other players on the field. I have seen this happen at soccer games in the past. He also may feel more relaxed before his games by doing these tricks. It may keep him from getting nervous before each game. Doing these tricks warms him up before the game, so he is ready to play. If he can control the soccer ball in these tricks, then he can control the soccer ball on the soccer field. This makes him a better player.

I think that John Farnworth has a lot of talent, he was amazing. I thought this video was really cool because I really don’t watch soccer player so I haven’t seen anyone do that before! Some people I know (including me) know very similar tricks and it was pretty cool watching John Farnworth do them like that, it is very inspiring! I played soccer for about five or six years and I was pretty good but I had to choose between two things and I didn’t chose soccer. Sometimes I regret it but other times I am very glad I am not in it. Honestly I don’t plan to play soccer in the future because of the serious injuries that could hurt your athletic life forever, like the very common “I blew out my knee playing in a soccer game”. This athlete control of the ball prepares him for games because you could have an odd situation in a game and need to know that, or you could use that to get better at coordination and agility.
Yes, I think Josh Farnworth has talent. Yes I do, he goes to my church, Jeremy Shahan.
Soccer is like my life I love soccer. Soccer is a very active sport and you can get to know a lot of people playing soccer. I will plan on it all through high school and college. To help him control the ball during the game so the other team would not get it.
~Cheyenne Braden~ ~period 5&6~
John Farnsworth has a lot of talent. I know that my sister can do a few things like that. I used to play in a league, but i moved on from it. I think that soccer is a very fun game. I don't plan to play soccer unless its with friends or family for fun. The control of the ball helps an athlete identify its limits, and he knows how the ball reacts to certain things.
Yes, I do think that John Farnworth has a very large amount of talent. He is talented in many different aspects. John is very good at concentrating, and he also has impressive hand eye coordination. My uncle is a really great soccer player, although he doesn't play that much anymore. I did play soccer when I was three or four years old. In my opinion, soccer is a somewhat interesting sport. It does take lot strength, and you must have time that you can devote to practicing. I definitely DO NOT plan on playing soccer in the future. His concentration and focus, mentally and physically helps him prepare for the game.

Yes John Farnsworth has talent. I don't think that I have ever seen anyone do that before. Well, I know a girl that can do tricks with the soccer ball but I don’t think that she can do those kinds of tricks. The only time that I have played soccer is when I play it at my school. But other than that I am not very good in it. My opinion of soccer is that it is fun at sometimes but I don’t like to play it. No, I really don’t think that I will not be playing Soccer in the future, only because I don't like playing soccer. The athlete's controls the ball by being able to concentrate on the ball and keep it bouncing. I don’t think I could ever do that! It honestly looks hard to do!!

Yes I do this he has talent. The tricks were really cool. I dont know anybody pearsonally that can do the things that he can do. I have played soccer before but not like on a team i usually just play with friends. I dont plan to play in the future. If you dont have very good controll of the ball then your are not very prepared to play the game.

I think that John Farnworth has a LOT of talent!I only know of my little sisters soccer coach who can do some of those tricks. Her coach is very talanted and he came from Africa. I have played soccer before when I was about 5 years old. Soccer is ok when you play it, but very very boring to watch. I do not plan to ever play soccer again because it is a waste of time in my opinion. I have to watch so many of my sister's soccer tournaments that take the whole day. It's so boring to sit there and pretend like you actually care about the sport when you really don't. When the athlete in this video has control over the ball, it helps him to take control over it when it is really time to play the game!

John Farnworth has amazing talent! If I could do all the stuff he did it'd be a dream. I hope to become just as good as John Farnworth. I love soccer so much, I practice pretty much everyday of my life even if it's just touching the ball a couple times if I don't have the time.
I know quite a few people who can do similar tricks to the ones in the video. One of my best friends Brooks, is amazing in soccer and he can do some of the tricks shown in this video. My brother can also.
I've obviously played soccer. I've played ever since I was five and haven't stopped. It's probably my favorite sport. I can't help but love it.
I plan to play soccer in high school, possibly even try to go pro. Which I doubt I will but I just have a passion for this sport.
This control over the ball helps him in a game because he'll have great ball control and be able to do trick to get around the opposite team players. Having good ball control, like he does, makes him or her a really good soccer player.

Yes, John Farnworth is very talented! I definitely can’t do that. Those tricks were so cool. I do not know of any people who can do that with a soccer ball. I do know a couple of people who play soccer though. I used to play soccer in elementary school. It was like second grade. I don’t play soccer now though. I don’t really play any sports. I think soccer is a great sport. It takes a lot of energy to run and kick a ball down a big field. My mom wants my brother to play soccer because he has so much energy. I think this sport gets you in good shape. I know a guy who plays soccer. His calf muscles are really toned. I think I would like to play soccer in the future, maybe for fun. I don’t think I could play on a team though because I haven’t played it that much and I’m probably not good. John Farnworth was really amazing in this video. It would be awesome if I could do that. I think his control over the ball helps him prepare to do his best in the game .

John Farnworth is a very talented athlete, why would you even ask that question I mean just look at the video. I don’t personally know anyone that could do this amazing tricks. I played soccer for one year when I was about 9 or 10 years old and I absolutely hated it. My opinion of soccer is that it is cool to watch but not to play. In the future I plan not to play soccer cause I HATE it! The athlete's control over the ball would very much help him for games when he has the ball and is running with it with a bunch of players on him.

Yes, John Farnworth is very talented. I do know a few people who can do some of his tricks. Yes, I've played soccer for a long time now, and I plan to play soccer in highschool. If you learn how to control the ball, in a game you can keep it away from the other team longer, and easier. For example, if the ball has been punted you can cradle with your foot to get control.

John Farnworth looked like an extremely good soccer free stylist. He obviously had major talent. I know a lot of people who can bounce a soccer ball repeatedly on their knees and heads. It is really cool to watch them. I have played soccer for one year. It is a very fast and physical sport. It is a very unique game. People use their hands to do work more than most of the other parts of the body. In soccer this changes. Players must avoid using their hands at all costs. They must use the other parts of the body to go down the field and score a goal. Overall it is a pretty exiting sport. I think I am done with soccer. I liked it for a year and had fun, but all the other players had years of experience and I barley did anything productive. This athlete has a lot of control of the ball. This helps him prepare for the game because some of those tricks can be used to get by a defender. Also, in the game if he wouldn't have control someone else could steal the ball easily.

YES! John Farnworth defiantly has a lot of talent. He obviously practiced at length to have those tremendous abilities and learned all those tricks. You know that any player that can do tricks like that with a soccer ball has to be a good player. He not only does all the tricks, he is a great soccer player as well. I have two friends that are really good at soccer.
My good friend Zach Swiger is really good at soccer tricks. He is now in college. He played soccer for West Fairmont High School. When he was a senior, his soccer team was undefeated. They played for the West Virginia State Soccer Tournament. My family and I went to watch the game which took place in Beckley. You should see their soccer complex. It is apparent that there are a lot of soccer teams and players there because it is huge. There are probably around 10 fields. Fairmont Senior lost in the last minutes to Parkersburg 1-0. It was a heartbreaker, but we were still very proud of him.
It takes a lot of effort, time, practice and determination to be a winner of any sport. My best friend Grant Holbert is a really good soccer player too. He can do several tricks with a soccer ball.
Yes, I have played soccer before. I played for about five years. Cannon Wadsworth was my favorite coach. He was fair, nice and really helpful. I remember him always encouraging me and trying to help me to get a goal. His son Alec is my good friend. It must be difficult to coach your own son! Alec was fast and a good ball handler, but he didn’t always listen to the coach…which was his dad! Coach Wadsworth would always clap for us and encourage us to do our best. He was a fantastic coach!!
I finally gave up soccer in sixth grade. I had a BAD coach!! He was like a drill sergeant in the Army! I don’t mind running and practicing, but he went overboard! The funny part about it was that he was only the assistant coach, but he took over. I think the head coach was afraid of him and let him do whatever he wanted to do! It’s good to win and do your best, but some coaches are just plain CRAZY! They think that game is the only important thing in life. My soccer days are over now. I focus on basketball since I am getting pretty tall. I am now 5’ 11”. I really liked my basketball coach this year. It was fun playing for WFMS. No matter what sport or talent you have, it is important to practice and be the best that you can be. I hope I get to play basketball for a long time.

Yes, I think John Farnworth has alot of talent. I don't know anyone that can do any of those tricks; i't amazing what he does. But, I do know a couple people that have a talent playing with the yo-yo. They can do pretty much any kind of trick that the yo-yo could possibly do.
I've played soccer before. But not like that. I think that John Farnworth is the best soccer player that ive ever seen. Soccer is pretty cool only I cant play it as well as he can.
I dont think i'll ever play soccer as a career but ill play it with my friends just to have fun. He has alot of control over the ball because he doesn 't hit it to hard for it to fall he just puts the righ amount of pressure. So therfore, he probly plays really good on the soccer feild.
Yes, he does have talent, a lot of it. Yes, I know someone that can do these tricks but not as well. Yes, I have played soccer before. My opinion of soccer is that I like it, I don't play it anymore but i used to and I really liked it. If I plan to play soccer in the future then it will be just for fun it won't be on a team or anything. This athlete's control of the ball shows that in the game he will be able to keep it from the other team and be able to make goals.

Yes, John Farnworth is very talented. I know that I couldn't do any of that with a soccer ball. I do know that Brianna Woodburn is very talented with a soccer ball and can do some of those tricks. I have never played soccer on a team but I have played in gym class before and wasn't too bad. I think that soccer is a fun sport but I wouldn't want to play everyday of the week like you would on a team. I don't think that I would ever sign-up for soccer any time soon. I would rather just play for fun. And I don't have that athlete's control of the ball that gets him ready for the game by keeping him concentrated.

Yes, John Farnworth has an amazing talent with a soccer ball. I know some girls that are extremely excellent at soccer that could maybe do the stunts performed on the video but I don't know if they can. No, I have never been on a soccer team in my life. My opinion of soccer is that it is a great sport to play for exercise but it is a boring sport to watch being played. No, I have no future aspirations of playing soccer at any time. The way that this athelete controls the ball shows that he is a great ball-handler which means he can probably get past defenders easily. That means GOAL!!!!!-if he can shoot. Haha.

Yes, John Farnsworth has talent. I have never seen anyone ever balance a soccer ball on their head. Then get on the ground and play with the ball on with their feet. Plus putting a toboggan on and taking it off with balancing the ball on their head and the ball never moved. He is awesome at what he was doing.
I plan on playing soccer this spring so yes I do plan on playing soccer soon. Soccer is one of the hardest sports for me because I am not one of the quickest players, but I am one of the stronger ones I think. Soccer is a sport that is just running while using good ball handling skills.
What he is doing in this video prepares him in the game by increasing his foot control.

Yes, I would like to play soccer through highschool. The control the player has over the ball helps him in a game so that it won't get stolen or taken away, and so that they can win the game

John Farnworth has so much talent in free style soccer. No, I don't know anyone that can do anything like what John did. The first time I played soccer I was is 1st grade but it really wasn't my thing. My opinion of this sport is "ok" it's not my favorite sport but I like to cheer my friends that play it. No, I don't think that I will play soccer in the future, but if I were to play a sport I would perfer Volleyball. Well any soccer player controls the ball by trying to keep the ball from any other players in the game.

He has loads of talent! Yes I know a few people who are good at tricks; mostly they are in high school some of my travel friends. I have played soccer for about nine years and I love it and hope to play in high school. I think soccer could be one of the toughest sports to play. On ESPN those football crazy sports announcers agreed. Like I said I want to play in high school. With good control he will be able to do so much more in a game. During a game you have to think fast and being tricky may be able to help by time.

John Farnworth defintally has talent! I mean if it wasn’t any kind of talent we could all just be able to do those tricks, and I don’t even think I am anywhere close. [Feel free to laugh] LOL Personally I don’t know anyone that can do those cool tricks that Farnworth did. I just recently played soccer last year it was really fun, but I am not participating in this coming year because I am trying something new. Soccer in my opinion is a win lose situation. Sometimes with soccer you enjoy it and then when your coaches work you to the limit you feel like you’re going to die. In my near future I really don’t know what sports I shall be attending, but if I do participate in any I want them to be really fun! The athletes control on the ball before a game can prepare the player to have control when the ball is passed to them and they start to get nervous and don’t know what to do with I, but I really don’t know.

I think that John Farnworth has alot of talent as you can see in the video. I know people that can do good tricks but not that good because I thought it was amazing when he put the hat on while balencing the ball on his head. I used to play soccer and I was really good but then I quit because I play to many sports. No I don't plan on playing soccer in the future because I like basketball and golf. It prepares him for the game because you need to be incontrol when you play so this will help him.

Yes, that guy is definitely very talented. If I know someone who can do something like that, then I've never seen them do it. I used to play soccer a long time ago, but I'm not a very athletic person and I didn't end up sticking with it. I think soccer is a good sport, I guess. It isn't one of my favorites, but I'm sure it's good for some people. I don't plan to play soccer. I think it prepares him for the game, because he's concentrating on the ball.

Heck yeah, John Farnworth has a lot of talent. Anyone who can do all of those amazing tricks with a soccer ball on their body, has to have a lot of true, all natural talent. I honestly know anyone else who can do any of the tricks that he did in the video. The only cool thing I can do sports related that is talented is whack a golf ball down range about 300 yards. I think that’s as talented as I can get. But I have played soccer before. I used to be the best goalie in three counties until I retired when I was 10. I used to scare people even before they could get about 5 yards near the goal. My opinion on the sport as a whole, it is alright. I mean, sure I played the sport for a long time, but it now just seems so out of my league. I mean, you don’t see many guys who are 6 ½ feet tall playing soccer. Or playing soccer and being good at it. And if I were to think about it, I don’t believe that I will play soccer in the future. For the soul purpose of, I’m planning on playing football. And foot ball seems, and is a lot more fun than soccer will ever be. But the key to playing soccer is knowing your ball. An athlete must have control over the ball to prepare him or herself for a successful game. Otherwise, people’s teams would suck because their team members didn’t practice with the ball, to gain control of the ball itself.

Heck yeah, John Farnworth has a lot of talent. Anyone who can do all of those amazing tricks with a soccer ball on their body, has to have a lot of true, all natural talent. I honestly know anyone else who can do any of the tricks that he did in the video. The only cool thing I can do sports related that is talented is whack a golf ball down range about 300 yards. I think that’s as talented as I can get. But I have played soccer before. I used to be the best goalie in three counties until I retired when I was 10. I used to scare people even before they could get about 5 yards near the goal. My opinion on the sport as a whole, it is alright. I mean, sure I played the sport for a long time, but it now just seems so out of my league. I mean, you don’t see many guys who are 6 ½ feet tall playing soccer. Or playing soccer and being good at it. And if I were to think about it, I don’t believe that I will play soccer in the future. For the soul purpose of, I’m planning on playing football.

Yes, I think that John Farnworth has talent. Yes I know a couple of people who can do that. Yes I play soccer and I am very good at it. Yes I also plan on playing soccer in the future. This athlete's control over the ball helps prepare him for the game by helping him train his body and muscles to work together, and have more control over what his body does.

Yes, John Farnworth has a lot of talent. He is really good at that soccer stuff. No, I do not know anyone who can do similar tricks like the ones in the video. If I did that would be pretty cool. I have never played soccer before except for in gym. I don’t think I coordinated enough to play it. My opinion on soccer is that I guess its okay. I never really watch or play it so I really don’t know if I really like it or not. No, I don’t plan on playing soccer in the future. I do not really know how to play it and I know I’m not good at it. This athlete's control of the ball can prepare him for the game by getting him warmed up and pumped up before the game. It also helps him to get ready to be able to control the ball and not lose it and he might to some of those tricks in the game.

I do think he has talent. It deffinantly takes talent to do what he does.
I can't think of anyone off the top of my head that can do what he does.
I have played soccer in gym, but never in a league.
I think soccer is a fairly tough sport. It takes coordination and natural talent to play.
I'm not sure if I want to play soccer inthe future or not. I have not hand-eye coordination, so I'm not very good.
I think the athletes control of the ball helps him to play better. He can prevent the other team from stealing the ball, if he has good control of it.
Yes, John Farnworth has a lot of talent judging by this video. The only person I could ever think of that has talent like John would be David Beckham. Although I don't follow soccer that much, I know that David is extremely good looking, and a very good athelete. I've never really played too much soccer at all, maybe like a year but that was when I was younger. Soccer is a very awesome sport, it takes a lot of physical health, and a lot of mental capabilities. I think that I might play soccer in highschool if lacrosse, track, volleyball, and basketball doesn't get in the way. If John was not so good at handling the ball, he probably wouldn't be able to dribble it around opponents in the game, therefore, he would get it stolen.

Yes, I think John Farnworth has talent. Yes, I know someone who can do those tricks. That person is one of my previous soccer coaches. He would do them at the beginning or end of every practice and tell use to go home and practice them. Yes I have played soccer. I think soccer is funny because, you get to run a lot and kick the ball. I plan on playing soccer in the future. This athlete’s control of the ball prepares him for the game by him being able to handle the ball so it won’t be stolen off of him.
Yes, I think John Farnworth has loads of talent. No, I don't believe I know anyone else that can do that kind of stuff. It would be even more amazing to see in person! Yes, I have played so many years of soccer I'm really not sure when I started. I play soccer right now but other than that, no, not on a team. In soccer you need to have good control of the ball so it helps a lot to be that much in control of the ball. John being in control of the ball helps him go faster in the game and score more goals.

Yes I think John Farnworth has talent. I do not know any one that has that kind of talent.I played soccer for four years and stopped. I am more interested in Hockey. He has balance and control of the ball.
John Farnworth does have talent.I know one person who can do tricks like that.I have played soccer before.Soccer is a fun and active sport.I do not plan to play soccer in the future because I have to many injuries.Control of the ball is very important because it helps how you play in the game.
Devanie Carpenter 1st period
Yes, I think he has a lot of talent. My brother's best friend (my other "brother") can do tricks similar to those in the video. I've only played soccer in gym, and it’s hard. I don’t have very good cordinatition so I’m not very good at some sports. My opinion of soccer is I don't really like it, I like football and basketball better. I think that I don‘t soccer because I‘ve never watched it, so I don‘t understand it. I don't see myself playing soccer but that could change. The control of the ball, as in every sport, helps you stay focused and concentrate on the person trying to steal the ball.
John Farnworth definitely has talent, and he has a lot of it! He must have a lot of foot-eye and head-eye coordination (if those are real, because he didn't need hand-eye coordination.) I don't know anyone who can do tricks similar to these, but then again, I don't know many people. I played soccer when I was 5 or 6, but I wasn't really interested in it; it was just something to do. I don't play it anymore. However, I think soccer is a good game. It is certainly more popular in Europe, where they call it Football (Why'd we call our football that anyway? You barely use your feet.) World Cup Soccer hasn't quite caught on in America. It's like hockey. Canada is really good at it but the US teams aren't that great. And do you think Canadians are good at our football? Nope. Well, I'm getting off track. I don't plan to play soccer in the future. The only sports I usually do are cross-country and track. This athlete's control of the ball prepares him for any game because he knows exactly what to do and probably knows what a goalie's reaction to something will be. If he was the goalie, he could probably stop anything.
Yes, John Farnworth has alot of talent. I don't really know anyone who has skills like that but I have seen them on the internet and on television. Yes, I played soccer but it was when I was really little. I don't really have an opnion about soccer. Some people love it and some people hate it. No I don't think that I will be playing any soccer in the future. This athletes control of the ball prepare him because he can use some of those moves to dodge defenders.

I can imagine kids not participating in sports, let alone soccer. No, I don’t plan on playing soccer in my future. I want to play football when I reach high school. This athletes control of the ball gives him the overall advantage on the field. I really enjoyed the blog this week I thought it was cool and interesting.
Evan Kosik 1st period
James most definitely has talent. I have never known anyone that has been able to anything even close to that with a soccer ball. Even with practice I don’t think I would be able to do this. Some people believe that this would be easy, but I think that they are just jealous that they can’t . In order to do that you must have great balance and you must learn the ways of the soccer ball.
My opinion on soccer is that it takes a lot of skill and hard work to play it. I know if I tried to juggle a soccer ball, it wouldn’t turn out so well. So, James definitely has talent.
John Farnworth definitely has talent in my opinion. Talent is defined as a special natural ability or aptitude. John Farnworth is natural with handling a soccer ball. Besides his natural aptitude, he put hours of practice into perfecting his skills.
I know a few people who are able to do similar tricks with a soccer ball. Many professional soccer stars such as David Beckham are as talented as John Farnworth. Professional players are also talented in all aspects of soccer, not just tricks. I have two cousins who played soccer from the time they were very young through college. They also are able to do the same tricks as John Farnworth.
I have played soccer since I was five years old. I think soccer is an amazing sport that concentrates on physical abilities as well as psychological endurance. Simply put, soccer is a fun an exciting sport. I believe that soccer is greatly underrated.
I plan to play soccer throughout my high school career, but doubt I will continue farther. I will always love to play the sport, but I think I will find a career in another area besides athletics.
An athlete’s ability to control the ball is vital to a player’s game. If you don’t have control of the ball, your passing and dribbling will be altered. To up your game and be a prominent player, ball control is necessary.

Yes, John Farnworth does have talent! No I really don’t know anyone that can do tricks like he does. Once in elementary school I tried out soccer. My opinion on soccer is it is kind of hard to get the movement down, but it's a lot of fun. Nope I do not plan to. It makes him think outside of the box instead of playing like everyone else. You could be the star of the game every time.

I think hat John Farnworth has alot of talent. I would ever be able to do any of those things he does. I don't know anyone who can do any of that stuff that John Farnworth does. I played soccer in elementry for about 3 seasns. I like soccer, it is fun. I don't plan to play soccer in the future I plan to swim. i helps him control the ball so he can keep it away from his oponets.

Yes,I played soccer when I was 9.I think soccer is an ok sport.I didn't really like it to much but thats my opinion.No,I do not plan to play soccer in the future.

Yes, I think he has talent for the sport of soccer. I also believe he has skill in the ball handling. It would take a lot of practice and ball handling to be as great as he is with the soccer ball.
No one in our local area is that good with a soccer ball. David Beckman, a professional soccer player, is very good with a soccer ball. He has many skills with ball handling.
Yes, I have played soccer for 9 years. I have played all the positions. My least favorite position is goalie. I usually play center on offense. They use my speed and ball handling ability in this position. I average scoring, in a season, 20 + goals.
I will probably play soccer in the future. You have to do a lot of running with the training of this sport. If I play any further it will be at the high school level. The competition is much greater and the sport is much more demanding at this level. It is definitely a fast pace sport.
Soccer is a fun sport to play and to watch. It is very seldom boring, because the game moves so quickly. Someone is always running and trying to move the ball up or down the field. Depending on the defense ability of a team, goals may be very difficult to score. You really have to concentrate and pay attention when you play because you never know where the ball will be at any given time.
By having great ball handling skills you are able to control the ball better in a game. By his handling the ball, in a yard, as was shown he was continuing to get practice time with soccer even though it may have seemed like it was all for fun.
Soccer is a sport you really have to be in shape to participate in. So much running and ball handling is involved. It is fun to watch and play. There is never a dull moment with the sport of soccer.

Yes John Farnworth does have talent. He must have been working on the tricks for a very long time. No, I don’t know anyone that can do tricks like that. Yes, I have played soccer before and I think it is a good sport. It is very competitive. I don’t plan on playing soccer in the future, at least not on a real team. The boy’s control over the ball helps him prepare for the game by giving him confidence in what he is doing.

Yes, I believe that John Farnworth has a lot of talent, and the tricks he did with the ball were very cool. No, I do not know anyone that can do any tricks quite like John Farnworth can. Yes, I played soccer from when I was five until I was seven. I think that soccer was a fun sport when I was younger, but not now that I’m older. I also think that soccer isn’t a fun sport to watch on television. No, I do not think I will play soccer again on a team but maybe with friends. The way the athlete controls the ball will help him dribble the ball better and keep it from being stolen.
John Farnworth is very talented. I don’t know anyone who could perform tricks like he does. No, I have never played soccer as a sport, but I have played it in gym class. I think it is an interesting sport and I think that the people who play it are very dedicated. I would never play soccer because it is not my kind of sport. I don’t plan on playing soccer in the future. I think that his control of the ball prepares him for a game because he will be able to maneuver around the field better and it just makes him a better player.
Yes, I definitely think John Farnworth has extreme talent. When I was in 5th and 6th grade I went to soccer camps over the summer at Weslayn College. I had lots of fun there and there were some extremely talented people and coaches there. Although, I haven’t seen anyone do something exactly like that. Of corse I have played soccer. It is my absolute favorite sport. I have been playing since 2nd grade! At my old school in Gilmer County we had 4-H soccer and someone had to volunteer to be the coach. My dad was always willing to take the job. He was my coach almost every year. I love soccer I think it is very entertaining and exciting. You have to have a lot of endurance and be able to pay attention to where the ball is at all times. Otherwise you might not be able to take it down the field. Even though I love soccer, I am not sure if I want to play in high school or not. Im just not sure yet.
Keeping control of the ball is a major part of the game. You have to be able to dribble the ball good and keep it in control so you can move it down the field to score a goal. If you don’t keep control of the ball, the game could just turn into a sloppy game of kick ball.

John Farnworth totally has talent with a soccer ball. It takes a lot of practice to learn those tricks. It also takes a lot of dedication to be that good a comfortable with a soccer ball. He really focuses when he does those tricks. He has probably been practicing those skills for a long time. He will probably play soccer for the rest of his life.
I dont think there is anyone that i know that can do those tricks except one of my soccer coaches. He can do most of those tricks. He has been practicing for a long time. He has been playing soccer cince his dad taught him his skills. The only othepeople i know that could probably do those tricks are Mia Hamm and David Beckham, my favorite two soccer players. They can really handle the ball good. They have really good footwork. they really have fast feet and they can focus really well. That helps alot.
I have been playin soccer for as long as i remeber. I have been on so many different teams and i have met a lot of people playin soccer. I play center on offense or in other words striker. I play this position because i have really fast feet and I can concentrate really well. I my average goals per season is about 15+ goals a season. I try my hardest when i play soccer and i really have a passion for the game. soccer is really fun and it keeps me in shape. Soccer helps me meet new people and it teaches me discipline. I also like to watch soccer. I like to play in state tournaments. My team last year won the state tournament, the kohls cup, and the katie riffle. We kicked butt. We had to practice a lot to become a team and mesh together.
I plan to play soccer next fall and in highschool. I think soccer is worth occupying my time and it really works me hard. I also plan to play soccer in college at wesleyan because i will probably get a scholarship. I think with my good grades and singing and soccer talent i could get a scholarship to Wesleyan.
An athletes control of the ball is very important in every position especially striker. They have to control the ball to keep the ball in play and dribble around people to score goals. You also need to control the ball so you can pass to your teammates and you can catch and trap he ball. Control of the ball is a big part of the game and it certainly takes a lot of practice.

Yes this guy has talent! I could never do anything like that. I have a friend who can bounce the ball up and down on his knee but thats it. Ive never really played soccer, but my friends and I mess around with a soccerf ball sometimes. I dont really like soccer so I probably wont play in the future. If he has this much control now just think of how much he'll have when he gets that adrenaline rush of the game!
Yes, John Farnworth has talent. I do not know any one personally that can do any tricks similar to those on this video. No, I have never played soccer before. My opinion on soccer is it is a good sport because it teaches you self control, teamwork, cooperation, and is a great form of exercise. I do not plan to play soccer because I am into other sports. My sport is swimming. The control of the ball prepares him for the game because he is able to do any thing he wants to do with the soccerball since he has total control of the ball he is also able to run, and watch what is happening around him.
Yes, John Farnworth has talent. No I do not know any one that can do all of those soccer tricks. No, I have never played soccer. I think that soccer is a really neat sport. I like watching it. I have many friends that play soccer and I used to go and watch them play. NO, I do not think that I will play soccer in the future. The athletes control of the ball prepares him for the game by being able to move fast with the soccer ball and keep it from being stolen.

Yes, I believe John Farnworth has talent. He must have practiced many many hours to be able to do all that so smoothly. My brother is a very good soccer player, and he can do some of those tricks, but no all of them. I wish i could do those. I might be able to if i started soccer. I don't plan on playing soccer in the future. Keeping control of the ball is a big part of soccer. You have to have good hand-eye coordination to be able to play soccer. And, he has it. He is good at staying in control of the ball, and that prepares him.

I definitly believe John Farnworth has talent. I'm sure he practiced a lot to become that skilled. I used to play soccer when I was younger, but I don't play anymore. I wasn't very good, and I don't see soccer in my future. I'm sure that John Farnworth is very good during the game, too. Being able to control the soccer ball that well is incredible, and it would be so much fun to be able to do.

No, I don't know any humanbeing that can do anything similiar to that. Soccer is stupid. No, I hate soccer. He can put the ball anywhere he wants.
Yes, I really believe Mr. Farnworth has talent. I do not know anyone who can do tricks like those Mr. Farnworth did. No, I never played soccer on a team or in a league before, but i do play in the backyard sometimes with my friends and family. I think soccer is cool and is really fun to play. Yeah, my dad was planning to get me and my brother into soccer in a couple of years. I think the athlete's ball control helps him because it allows him to manuver the ball with greater speed.

I guess John Farnworth has talent. I do not know anyone who does this kind of weird talent. I've played soccer twice, but once was enough. I don't think showing off like this will show off true soccer skills. ;-(
Yes, I think that John Farnsworth has a lot of talent. I have seen Raul , at Valley Soccer, do a few tricks. Yes, I have played soccer since I was five years old. I do plan on playing soccer in the future, probably this fall. The athlete's control of the ball definately prepares him for the game. A soccer player who can control the ball like that, knows where the ball is at all time and he is in control of the ball. I would really like to see him play in a soccer game.

Yes I do think that John has talent. I go to church with someone named Tyler, who could probaly preform a few of John's easier movements. I have played seven seasons of soccer before. I played as a forward defender. I was a middle class player, at the time. Now I am pretty bad. I don't think I will br playing soccer any time soon. The reason the players do this is to warm up there ball handeling.
Yes, John has talent! No I don't know anyone that can do any of these tricks. I've never played soccer but I know people who do play soccer. My opinion of soccer is that its very tiring. I don't plan on playing soccer in the future. It's not easy for anyone to do this and i think that it probably makes him stronger and be quiker on his feet.

Yes, I believe John Farnworth has talent. The kind of talent he has is incredible. His soccer skills are amazing! My cousin his some similar tricks like the ones in this video but as well adapted. I have never played soccer because it’s just not my sport; my cousin on the other hand is amazing she loves soccer and practices almost everyday. I think soccer is great, it takes a lot of endurance and that may be why I don’t play it. As for the future I don’t truly plan to play soccer, but who knows I might be able to if I tried. Athlete control of the ball prepares them by being able to keep the ball and not let it get stolen. It also helps them to move faster knowing that the ball will be there.

Yes, I think that John Farnworth has talent. I have a cousin who plays soccer and is always doing tricks like this. We joke and tell everyone that he has soccer balls glued to his knees and ankles! The only place I've ever played soccer was in gym, and I'm definately not any good at it. I think it is fun to watch soccer but not to play it. I think that if you can control the ball like he does in the video, then you would be able to control a ball in the game.

I think soccer is a cool sport that brings out all the basic skills of running, ball stealing, kicking, catching, blocking, and a lot more. I also think that it pulls people together and shows how a team should play everyday. I am probally going to play soccer in the future and show off all my skills. It keeps him focused on his moves and his goals.

I think that John Farnworth has an amazing talent. No,I do not know anyone that can do any tricks similar to what he did. Yes, I have played soccer before. I don't really like soccer I would play it if I had to but other then that I probably wouldn't play it again.
As far as I know, John Fernworth has a very excelled talent in soccer. He did many tricks that most people could never do. I know a few kids that can do tricks with a soccer ball none even to compare with the man in the video. I have played soccer in the past and plan to do so for many more years to come. Soccer is probably my favorite sport. Drills that you do for any sport help you to prepare for a game or competition. This athlete's control over the ball helps him in a game because his ball handling and moves will increase dramatically. These are two key aspects of being a good soccer player.
John Farnworth definately has talent! I know a couple people that can do similiar tricks, and they are Brianna Woodburn and Fletcher. I played one season of soccer, but only to condition me for baseball. I think soccer is okay but i don't really like it. No, I honestly don't plan on playing soccer in the future. The athlete's control of the ball prepares him for the game, by building agility and hand eye coordination. Andrew Strand 8th Period
John Farnworth definitely has talent. He must have tons of balance to control the ball like that on different parts of his body. I don't think that I've seen somebody do those tricks before. I know some people could perform them though.
I've never played soccer on a real team but I've played it just for fun. I'm not very good at it but I think it is very fun to play and watch most of the time. Since I haven't played soccer on a real team so I will most likely not play it when I get older. The control he has with the ball will help him steal the ball and not let the other team get it.

I never played on a soccer team before though. My opinion is I don’t really like soccer but I like to watch kids are age but not pros. No I do not plan to play soccer in the future.

Yes, I think John Farnworth has some definite talent. I mean it must be pretty hard to take a toboggan off of your head with the soccer ball on your head. I do know someone who can do some of these tricks actually. I played soccer once when i was 5 years old. I don't plan to play soccer in the future because I don't really like it anymore. I'll play it for fun with my friends. it'll prepare him for the game by making him have better feet and when the defense gets real tough they'll won't stand a chance against the offense.

Yes, it takes skill to control the ball that good. That helps him out in the game by being able to control and keep the ball. I can do some tricks but there way less complicated and I can not keep the ball going that long. I have played soccer that’s why I know some tricks. I love soccer to I plat it all the time.

With that much ball control he is prepared to play and is watching the ball so he nows how to finish off.

Asking if that man has talent is like asking if Jesus is God's son. He definitely has talent!! I can juggle a ball and balance it on my head but not like he can. I have played soccer since I was 5. I plan to play soccer in high school up to my senior year but I don't know how far my soccer career will go after that. He has skill and a lot of it so he can fake a person out or he could get past defenders very easily.
If you ask me... which you did.. ha ha . . Of course he does ! I do not know anyone who can do anything like that, but I wish I did. I have never played soccer and I really have no intentions on playing it. I love to see people play it, I just don't like too. I do not plan to play in the future. He knows what he will be faced with and when i tis time to play, he will have had plenty of eye-foot coordination.

Yes, I think John Farnworth has talent. I know a couple who know how to perform tricks similar to those that John does. Yes i have played soccer for 9ish years now. I love it! I can imagine kids not participating in sports, let alone soccer. Yes, i plan on playing soccer in my future. I want to play when i reach high school. Controlling the ball can help the athlete during a game because he could be a striker and have to dribble down the field without losing it to the other team.

Yes, John Farnworth has talent. I can honestly say that I don't know anyone that can do tricks similar to those on the video.I have never played soccer before , altough I did take it into consideration. I think soccer is one of the sports that you have to be really fit for, just because you ahev to run up and down that hugh field, and soccer balls hurt sometimes. I don't plan to play soccer like on a team, mabey just for fun. His control of the ball prepares him mental and physically because he knows where the ball is and he knows how to maintain the balance of the ball.
Yes John farnworth has some awesome talent. yes my friend Adriana Constabke can do a lot of tricks. No i have never played soccer before. I think soccer would be an awesome sport to do. I may play soccer in the future just depends on what i'm doing in the future. If you have control of the ball that means you can concentrate more and see the easier.

Most definatly John Farnworth has talent. I do not know anyone who can do any of these tricks. I'm never around soccer, and I never have been either. So most likely I haven't seen anyone who could do things like this. I have never played soccer. Soccer doesn't really interest me like cheerleading does. I do not plan to play soccer in the future. Like I said, I don't know anything about soccer, at all. I think that this athlete's control of the ball prepares him for a game by warming him up with the ball, and getting used to how to use it in different ways.

Yes! I definently think that he has talent. I don't think that I could ever do that stuff. I know some people who could do some of those things, but nowhere near what he can do. I have not ever played soccer on a team before, and I'm horrible at it. My opinion is that it isn't really all that much fun. I do NOT see soccer in my future. I think that controlling the ball is one of the number one priorities of playing soccer. You can not really play that well without control.
Yes, I think John Farnworth has alot of talent. I don't know anyone that can do any of those tricks; i't amazing what he does. But, I do know a couple people that have a talent playing with the yo-yo. They can do pretty much any kind of trick that the yo-yo could possibly do.
I've played soccer before. But not like that. I think that John Farnworth is the best soccer player that ive ever seen. Soccer is pretty cool only I cant play it as well as he can.
I dont think i'll ever play soccer as a career but ill play it with my friends just to have fun. He has alot of control over the ball because he doesn't hit it to hard for it to fall he just puts the righ amount of pressure. So he probly plays really good on the soccer feild.
Yes, I think John Farnworth is talented. No, I do not know anyone who can do tricks like in this video.Yes, I have played soccer in like gym and stuff, but not on a team. I think soccer is okay,but I would not like to play on a team.No, I do not plan to play soccer in the future, I like it,but It's not for me.I think that an althlete's control of the ball helps him warm up and keep control while they are palying.

Yes, of cource John Farnworth has talent. He is a very talented man. He's a very successful athete.
I do not know anyone with similar tricks and abilities like he does. Soccer is a pretty tough sport and is sorta hard to do.
Yes, I have played soccer. I played for 12 seasons. I used to like soccer but now I'm growing apart from it. I'm not really in to soccer now than I was when I was 9 or 10.
My opinion on soccer is that it's fun but boring at the same time. I didn't really enjoy soccer. I perfered basketball.:)
Absolutely not!!! I do NOT plan on playing soccer in the future!!! I totally dislike soccer now. I really haven't liked liked soccer and now I don't even like it. So no I am not planning on playing soccer ever again.
His control of the ball helps him prepare for a game because it helps warm him up. By getting good control of the ball it helps him steal the ball and not get it stolen from him.

Yes i would say that John Farnworth do have talent. Yes i do know someone that can do that. In fact many of my friends can do it, also my cousin Spencer can. When i was like 4 when i started and like 11 whenn i stopped. I really lke to play soccer but i dont like to watch it for odd reason. Umm no i dont plan to play soccer in the future i plan to swim. I athletes control over th eball prepares him for the game because he if he can control the ball it will give him confidence for him to win the game.

Yes, I believe he has talent. No, I don't know anyone who can do any tricks similar to those on this video. I have only played soccer in gym. I don't think its something for me. It keeps him in control and makes the ball go where he wants it to go.
Yeah that dude had pretty good soccer skills. I can do some of that, but not all that. I use to play soccer when i was 5 and 6 or 6 and 7, and yeah i had some fun. Butt would i go back to soccer??? NO!!! I think soccer is so boring now. No offence to soccer players but I rather play Basketball.

Yes, I think he has an amazing amount of talent. no, I don't. Yes, I have played soccer, and I love it. it is one of the very few sports I will actually sit and watch. The control there helps because it's always a good idea to be able to control the ball.
