How can I improve my soccer juggling skills?

I am just starting out juggling and have been practicing at least twice a week for about a month now. My personal record is ten touches, and I can do a foot stall for as long as I want. I have tried juggling waist height and with my instep, thighs, and laces. I have also been alternating feet and staying on my toes. However, I still feel very inconsistent and out of control. One day I got 6 touches with a thigh stall, and today I can barely get 5 touches period! I felt like I was getting better every day and then I just stopped at my peak. Any tips or websites that can help me juggle with more consistency and control?

1. well first of al you should juggle with your feet.. once you get around 20 or so of those... go on to the harder stuff like thighs etc,,. and try to walk while juggling it if you can do that.. try kicking it high and then without it touching the ground try continuing.. if u can get all this done.. youre good...

4. If possible you need to practice more, twice a week is not enough. You need to try and practice everyday for at least 15 minutes, this will give you the muscle memory required to be consistant. You need to set up a routine to start your practice, try just doing 3 touches at first but do them well and in a predetermined fashion and in sets of 10. For example Set 1: 3 touches with right foot - 10x Set 2: 3 touches with left foot - 10x Set 3: 3 touches left to right to left 10x Set 4: 3 touches right to left to right 10x Set 5: 3 touches with right thigh 10x Set 6: 3 touches with left thigh 10x Set 7: 3 touches thigh right to left to right 10x Set 8: 3 touches thigh left to right to left 10x Set 9: 3 touches thigh to foot to thigh alternate rt to left 10x Set 10: 3 touches foot to thigh to foo alternate rt to left 10x after doing defined sets try and juggle as many as you can. After a week of doing this daily create sets with more touches or difficulty, but always focus your practice on performing a pre selected routine. You will build confidence and muscle memory that will allow you to juggle many many more times. You do this everyday for a month and you will drastically improve.
