im a forward, and ive had this problem lately of playing absolutely terrible, however, its been most noticeable on breakaways. they wont go in. like the ball is scared of the freakin net. breakaways used to always be one of my good areas, i'd just pick where i want the ball, and the ball would go there. any advice?

stay calm, when your on a breakaway dont get too nervous or excited, just be cool about it, that may be the reason your having troubles. Where is WI do you live?

I play up top as well for the most part other than the the go at center mid when its needed but to answer your question you may be going through a bit of a rough spot in form.

This happened to me last fall and I just relaxed and stopped getting so worked up about it while I was playing because it just made me screw up even more the next chance I got.

You may want to try different things while shooting like bending froma tough angle or a good drive from distance as well varying your finish on breakaways, that makes you much more dangrous.

Try rounding the keeper, one time and chipping him the next, if you strike the ball well and on target all the time try hitting one past him hard and low as he comes out at you but once you get that first goal after a long dry spell you will get back into the routine and make it a regular thing again.

Good luck, and the rest of us forwards know what your going through too we have all hit a barren patch before, things will get better as long as you work hard at fixing them.
