As part of the blueprint to become a footballer, technical mastery is obviously a vital requirement. But how much can it improve? Was Messi born with technical mastery? Was it just in his spirit? How much is down to practice? If you can learn technical mastery, how do you learn it? In this episode we speak to Isa Hussein, who is also known as @the.technical.trainer and considered one of the best technical trainers in the world.

His clients include Premier League players, Champions League players, academy players and children of ex-footballers and football pundits. Isa gives his thoughts on whether technique can be improved and to what degree. He breaks down the amount of practice required to make it to the Premier League and what practice is required.

Isa also gives advice to parents on how parents should find a technical coach and what parents should look out for. This is an incredible episode.
