Daly's Law of Creative, Attacking Football:
Use vertical weight to control the horizontal pace of the ball.

Weight is vertical, not horizontal
Look at the above pass. The speed of the ball parallel to the ground is the horizontal pace of the ball. The rise and drop of the ball is its vertical weight. Weight is the vertical force experienced by the ball as a result of gravity. It equals the mass of the ball multiplied by the acceleration of free fall (gravity). The vertical force of gravity is 9.8 metres per square second (per second per second). Weight is vertical, not horizontal.
Vertical weight and horizontal pace
If a player wants to put 'more weight' on a pass, he needs to increase the ball's rise and drop in order to increase the ball's vertical 'drop' force. Weight is very different to horizontal (parallel to the ground) pace because it acts at right angles to horizontal pace. Read more
Daly's Law Coaching
Daly's Law Coaching is the world's only genuine alternative to conventional soccer coaching because it is the only coaching anywhere in the world that treats weight as a vertical instead of a horizontal force in the movement of a soccer ball - and explicitly and systematically coaches players to use vertical weight to control the horizontal force of the ball in their running with the ball, passing, shooting, heading and all other ball interactions.
Small, Medium and Large Sided 'street' soccer games
Another unique feature of Daly's Law Coaching is its use of small, medium and large sided 'street' soccer games as the coaching contexts for Daly's Law Starts. Daly's Law Coaching takes the scientific secret of 'street' soccer success - Daly's Law - and applies it systematically and universally in all of its coaching. Result: a revolutionary soccer coaching system which unites 'nature' (street soccer) and sports science (Daly's Law) in one seamless whole.
Conventional soccer coaching
Conventional soccer coaching associations throughout the world - Europe, North America, South America, Africa, Asia, etc - treat weight as a horizontal force, not a vertical force. This is the fundamental difference between Daly's Law Coaching and conventional soccer coaching worldwide - and it is of central importance.
The Daly's Law difference
Consequently, whereas conventional coaching utilises only friction to control the initial horizontal pace of the ball across the ground, Daly's Law Coaching utilises vertical weight in addition to friction to control this same horizontal force. What is crucial is the balance players strike between vertical weight and horizontal pace every time they interact - in whatever way - with a soccer ball. Read more
