Football/Soccer Help (10 points)?
March 122010
Hi,
I am a good player, i have good technical ability, like passing, control as i am a midfielder. My shooting is ok, but i need to work on that. I am quite tough, like i get stuck in, but sometimes a i have a few problems. Sometimes i come back in the car with my dad, and tell him that i didn’t enjoy the training session. It’s quite difficult to explain, but like its just that i’d enjoy it with a bunch of determined and motivated boys. I have a trial with Bristol Rovers coming up, and i want to work hard, but in sessions/training i can’t because of the others don’t seem to be interested, like goofing about, talking about Xbox Live, thinking whats for dinner. Like i have the mind like Wayne Rooney like on improving, but i can’t. I live in Cardiff. UK, and surprisingly, there are no outdoor football facilities locally, and my friends around here do like football, but prefer Xbox Live. I am leaving my team for the ‘a’ division next season, and going for the team that is in 2nd place at the moment. Also, lately before i’ve been going to sessions i’m like ‘here we go, same old thing’. Like I want to go to places, learn, get better, good drills which pay off! Just can’t seem to do it.
Thanks – Adam
If changing teams is not an option then you have a decision to make.
That decision is, do you want to be the best you can be. If the answer is yes then what the other young men are doing does not matter. You need to step up and focus on the drills and tasks the coach is giving you. Yes, it may not be easy to do when everyone else is messing around but do it. You sound like you take the sport very seriously, so take it seriously then. Also by focusing and working hard, you may find yourself in a leadership role. At first it may be hard, since everyone else still wants to be messing about. Ask them to buckle down and work, then lead by example. You may be surprised at how many of your team mates actually feel the same as you, but were too afraid to do anything about it. Try to identify those players and get them on "your team" then as well.
I am a firm believer that you will play like you practice. If practice is just a mess the result of it will usually show up on the scoreboard later on.
Best of luck to you.
