does soccer hurt or improve footbag skills?

[thedudeman]

so lately ive been fuckin around with a soccer ball just doing basic kicks and around the worlds, and i was wondering whether it would hurt my improvement or not, right now im at the stage where im learning really fast with footbag, and im thinking soccer might fuck stuff up, but im not sure what it does for the skills

You get good at what you practice, soooo, I would anticipate you getting better at soccer tricks, not footbag.

I got obsessed with soccer tricks for a bit and my footbag progress definitely lagged.

Mosher has a good point. If your investing all your time in football, naturally your shred will get rusty if your not footbagging on a consistent basis. If your asking whether or not learning football freestyle will directly make you worst at footbag, my intuition says no.

When I read the post title I assumed you meant playing football on a team, which I think would help any free styler by building endurance and strong legs.
