    skills DVD.



    Soccer star David Beckham has shared the secrets of
    his footballing prowess in a new DVD called 'Really bend it
    like Beckham', which was launched in Madrid on Friday
    (October 1).

    The new DVD features the England captain taking a group
    of promising young girls and boys aged from 7-14 years,
    through a series of eight separate UEFA approved football
    training modules.

    The modules include control, space skills, passing and
    working for space, turning skills and forward play,
    crossing, closing down and defending, finishing and free
    kicks.

    The DVD gives a glimpse inside the football world of
    the Real Madrid midfielder including his free-kicks,
    tricks, and training techniques, and provides an insight
    into what it takes to make it to the top of the sport.

    Beckham hopes this DVD will help to pass on his skills
    to the next generation of footballers, to help kids to get
    involve in the game, develop their football skills and also
    to encourage them to believe in themselves.

    The DVD will be released on Monday (October 4).
