'Feel Free to Laugh': Soccer Player Falls Over While Attempting 'T-shirt Challenge'

UK soccer player Charlotte Potts captured video of her attempt to take part in the online balancing feat called the “T-shirt Challenge” at her home in Tyne and Wear, England, on April 8.

The video shows Potts falling off the deck in her backyard after trying to put on her team’s shirt while keeping a ball from hitting the ground. “Feel free to laugh at my expense,” she wrote in the video’s caption.

Potts, a defender for the Sunderland AFC Ladies team, told Storyful she has been recording herself attempt online challenges to inspire and motivate kids through the difficult times of COVID-19 isolation.

She said the goal of this challenge is to put on the sport shirt while keeping the ball up, preferably on one’s head. The latter half of the video shows Potts successfully completing the tricky juggling act.

The challenge is part of the #FootballsStayingHome movement that encourages soccer fans to observe social distancing guidelines while participating in athletics indoors. Credit: Charlotte Potts via Storyful
