Glad I could help man. Just relax during the try-outs and everything will be fine. Also, these are some useful tips to become better in football: -Use a smaller ball to practice dribbling and stuff. This will improve your touch, because a smaller ball needs more touches in order to stay under control. -Kick a ball against a wall and as it bounces back, try to kick it again with only using ONE touch. This will improve reflexes and will allow you to pass the ball much more quicker. -This is something you'll be doing in training alot, but it's nice training to do at home: Set up a field of cones and try to dribble through the cones as fast as you can. -Practice in juggling. It helps improving your touch and your ball handling skills. These are some useful tips I use at trainings or just for fun.
^ This, and this: - Run with the ball for at least an hour everyday.. just run with it till it naturally sticks to your foot.
tell the coach that your dad was a pro while he was younger lol, i told my coach that my cousin is Emir Spahic XDDD and that he plays for one of the best teams in La Liga along with Barca and madrid...
Get a lot of touches of the ball before the tryout starts. Your first hundred touches are not as good as your 300th touch. So get those 300 touches out of the way before the tryout starts. If they divide the players and play a game to watch players in a game situation. Don't be afraid to attack if the space you left is not filled in by another player trying out. You have to show something to be noticed. If you don't go because your back support is not there. Very few coaches will understand why you did not go. He will think you never go into the attack. Don't make a pass and be content to admire your pass. Move in the flow of play after your pass and hope for a return pass or another pass in combination play. Lose the ball or a team mate loses the ball or your no longer in the flow of play, get your arse behind the ball. Ball is up and your tired show a will get up. Always be up when the ball is up.I look for that kind of will in a player. Also push yourself to get behind the ball when your team loses the ball. Think about your support positioning. Going out for inside offensive mid for example? Try to put yourself as the second attacker for the dribbler who ever the dribbler is from your inside position. So you will get a lot of touches and make those touches show something that will be remembered in a good way. Think a head so you don't need to think after you get the ball. So when you get the ball you just do. Going for tackles? Go at the right time which is when the dribbler does not have close control of the ball. Don't dive in on the tackle. You will miss and look bad doing it. If you can beat players take them on. That creates space for team mates. Don't take on the second attacker unless it means you can get a shot off and score. After beating the first defender look to pass while moving away from pressure. Perfect time to look for a through pass, or a shot if your within your range or to reverse the field with a pass. --------------------------------- I look for player quickness, vision and a good touch. Players making a good impression in small sided play have a good chance of making the team in general remember that fact. ----------- Here is some stuff from a one time friend that can help. Communicate in the Games Players who give instructions and help other players with verbal and visual cues stand out as leaders. It does not have to be long winded or a continuous narrative, but good communication makes players stand out in a positive way to the observers. Silent players appear to be out of the game mentally. -------------------- (Calling for a back pass as the other player just touches the ball is bad communication. Thats from me.) -------------------- Things a coach remembers a good tackler, quickness,speed, and a guy who can finish a half chance or a chance, and someone who can cross the ball and make a good cross with either foot Good luck
If you don't make it in the team after we all you gave these useful tips then don't even think of posting here ever again.
Wow dam thanks for the tips guys. Havn't been on the forums for 2 days. Nick thanks for those tips, were you or are you a coach? Lol if i dont make, ill just go hide in the corner of my room and never get out
And I'll pay each kid that made the team 20 bucks to kick the shit out of your nuts and spit on you. Later they'll laugh at your failure over strawberry and mango smoothies from Panera.
Here is my advice man find out what soccer club the guys on the high school team play for and join...high school coaches love players that play summer soccer and plus you will get used to their style of play and that will help you tremendously...
UPDATE: Went to soccer sign ups today. Coach is pretty chill but it was intimidating with the number of kids trying out. This year they are only doing one day of running and its on my birthday lolz, but the day after he's gonna pick a group of 30 kids and take them to New Hampshire and play against some New Hampshire high schools. I really would at least like to make this team so I'm gonna be conditioning all summer. Do you guys think electrical bikes are good? Like going on for half an hour every day.
Alright i'll probably end up doing those. Thank god the Euros will be on this summer for some motivation. Im probably going to end up trying out for center back or rb/lb because I haven't played the game enough to play striker or mid. Also, I will probably end up going to captains practices and coaches practices to show that I'm a hard worker.
When you do suicide runs.. legit crouch before turning around.. it makes it so much harder and your legs will burn. don't overdo it of course.
No such thing as over doing it. When you stop before turning around do a lunge. Really kills you. Do those at the end of workouts, that way you don't use up all your energy on just that.
ain't nothing to mess with. do that. also if you're aiming for center-back, practice on jumps, corners, and winning headers off long balls.
Alright man thanks for the tips from you and Hazdija, Vitez anbd everyone else. I honestly just want to make the team, i dont give a ******** if im a bench warming mother ********er. I'm 6"1' so i have the height advantage
