Here is  was an entertaining example of the extraordinary things that people can do when they “let it happen”. The video has been pulled off YouTube by the “user” 🙁 sorry to all those you did not get to see it! The key thing that separates these guys from average footballers (who have had just as much practice) is their state of mind.
