Ball Handling

[Rayaan]

This is Iya Traore, who is a French street performer, a juggler, an acrobat, and a freestyle footballer (and a stripper). In this video, he balances and juggles a football (or a soccer ball / whatever you want to call it) on his head, back, and with his feet while doing different things at the same time ... it's really cool.

I especially like the part at the end when he climbs a light post while balancing the ball on his head. Then, he even starts to juggle it while hanging there.

I saw this earlier this week.

I wonder, why isn't he a professional football player?

Well, I think that's because playing football/soccer requires a lot of other skills such as running, kicking, scoring, teamwork, etc.

This guy, however, is mainly a performer. He's mostly good at juggling and balancing, and stuff.

Is it bad I recognized this was French not from the vid description, but from the building in the background? Lol

Haha. I was actually thinking of a response like that and I thought that you would be the first one to say that.

Lol, how did I predict that?
