Usain Bolt's love of soccer is no state secret. The sprinting legend doesn't hide his desire to give the game a shot as a potential career move, even going as far as arranging to train with Borussia Dortmund to "see what happens."

On Friday, the 30-year-old joined a training session in France with JS Saint-Jean Beaulieu, but it looks like Bolt definitely needs some refining in the technical department. They're only short clips, but we now have a pretty good idea of "what happens" when Bolt gets on the pitch: Not a whole lot of magic.

OK, so he rises pretty nicely to meet that header, but can't find the placement despite being totally uncontested. That left-footed shot attempt is the stuff of nightmares, though. It's certainly not up the snuff for someone that dreams of playing for Manchester United, that's for sure.

Even so, Bolt appears to have impressed at least one person at training, Saint-Jean Beaulieu goalkeeper Kevin Blois. Speaking to France Football after the session, Blois said he could see the Jamaican playing, "no problem." On the evidence, it looks like Blois might just be being nice, but who knows? Maybe Bolt pulled off some slick tricks and Saint-Jean Beaulieu are keeping the video under wraps, lest Real Madrid catch wind and scupper negotiations.

Or, maybe not.
