Meet the 14-year-old record breaking football freestyler

Meet 14-year-old James, a football freestyler from south Wales who is making a big name for himself.

He's just won bronze at a major competition in the Netherlands, finishing third in his age group.

It's the latest achievement for James, who already has FIVE Guinness World Records to his name.

What makes his success even more impressive is that James has completely self-taught himself every trick, practising at home everyday.

Football freestyle is all about showing off your skills with a football, using tricks and movements to keep the ball under control, without using your hands and forearms.

James recently competed at the NextGen World Football Freestyle Championships, going up against other international players.

His bronze medal finish means he is now among the best young football freestylers in his age group in the world.

The teenager has also set five Guinness World Records - the most recent being the most "around-the-worlds" in a minute for under-16s.

Around the World is an iconic freestyle move that involves looping your foot completely around the ball before catching it again on your foot - without letting it fall to the ground.

James trains at home everyday and learned all his skills by using YouTube videos to get ideas and inspiration.

So, what's next for the football freestyler?

James explained: "Maybe a short term goal for me would be to become the under-16 World Champion."

And after that?

"Hopefully World Champion one day," he added. Good luck, James!
