You are preparing for a football match, but you are not sure that you will play to the fullest. What should you do? Read this guide, as it may help you play the best game of your life.
Steps
Step 1. Take care of your shape
Try to prevent injuries so that you are always 100% fit (use a quality shin guard of the right size and football socks). Run every day. Drink as much water as possible. Get enough sleep in preparation for the game. You will not play well if you are tired.
Step 2. Train
You will need to look after your stamina and ability to handle the ball.
Step 3. Be sure of your means
Tell yourself that you are a great player. Remember that football is a team game, so pass the ball to your teammates and trust them.
Step 4. Play your best, regardless of position
If you play as a goalkeeper, remember that you are the goalkeeper. Pay attention to your position and keep it. Cover your teammates if they are not well positioned. Work on getting possession of the ball, tackle and slide if necessary.
Step 5. Enjoy
Love sports. Fun is what makes the game so exciting. Learn to love the game and always train. No doubt you will gradually improve and enjoy yourself more.
Step 6. Be determined
Do your best. Don't play even if you don't give 100%. Run as fast as possible. Shoot with power. Pass with precision. Keep your head up. And never give up. If you miss a shot, don't be discouraged. Try again and again. Think about what you did wrong and start over.
Advice
- Don't let others discourage you. Ignore them and use anger as the motivation for the match.
- If you are knocked down, stand up. You may be pushed, tripped, or knocked down, but just keep going. And as much as the referee may not convince you, keep doing your best.
- Try hard and love the game.
- Concentrate as much as possible. Observe your companions and help them.
- Don't rush decisions when you have the ball, it's better to be smart than fast.
- Never focus on the score. Instead, focus on the game and ask yourself if you have won at the end.
- A player who loves the game is a good player regardless of his skills. Passion is fundamental; if you don't love what you do, it will show.
- Have fun regardless of the score. Never give up!
- Listen to your coaches and your parents. Never ignore them.
- If you want to show your technical skills with virtuosity, go ahead, you could be successful. But make sure you have tried them in training; you probably won't be able to do a perfect overhead kick the first time you try it. Keep trying!
- Remember that a good player can also be seen in his sportsmanship.
Warnings
- Don't hold the ball for too long and don't blame your teammates for your mistakes.
- Don't get frustrated.
- Even if it is right to give advice to your companions, do not criticize them too much. You will bring down their self-esteem, and you will lead them to make more mistakes, making the figure of a pedantic.
- Don't be afraid of contrasts. If an opponent is about to kick, run towards him. The closer you are, the less likely you are to kick. And if it does, the ball will hit you in the legs, and it will hurt less than if it hit you in the face.
- Don't make fun of someone if they're not as big or as good as you are.
- If you show too much, you could end up on the bench and it is unlikely that the coach will restore your confidence.
