Do you want to know how to become a complete winger for your football team? In this short guide, you will discover some ways to improve your skills and become a stronger wing.
Steps
Part 1 of 4: Improve Speed
Step 1. Improve your speed
The most important physical attribute for a wing is speed. With speed, you will be able to gallop on the wing like Ronaldo. To improve your shot, follow the steps in this section.
Step 2. Have a friend put both hands on your shoulders
Step 3. Try to run as fast as possible towards your friend while he tries to stop you with his hands on his shoulders
Step 4. Ask your friend to let you go and walk away after 10 seconds
This should allow you to sprint forward at maximum speed.
Step 5. Repeat this method at least 10 times a week
You should notice an increase in speed in about a month. This method is widely used by many athletes.
Part 2 of 4: Improve Stamina
Step 1. Work on your stamina
Another very important physical attribute for a wing is endurance. One way to improve it is to swim, or often run long distances on high ground. The first exercise improves lung capacity, while the second increases the amount of red blood cells your body produces. These types of exercises increase the amount of oxygen you can carry into your lungs with a single breath.
Part 3 of 4: Dribbling and Agility
Step 1. Improve your agility
No wing is complete without good dribbling and a lot of agility. How can you improve these aspects of your game? Simple - follow the tips in this section.
Step 2. Practice dribbling and ball movements in confined spaces every day
A good place to train is your own home. Naturally avoid damaging things or people.
Step 3. Make several changes of direction with the ball and get used to the movements of the legs
The more you practice, the better your ball control will be, a key element of good dribbling.
Step 4. Run
For agility, you can take shots every week. Try to time yourself every time and work hard to beat your time.
You may also learn some dribbling by watching video tutorials on YouTube
Step 5. Work on improving your weak foot
You must be able to cross, pass and shoot with both feet. Many players, among the best in this position, are able to use both feet and are dangerous precisely because they manage to insert and shoot or spread and cross. Practice using your weak foot to control the ball, shoot, and pass. You may not be able to do it naturally at first, but with commitment and persistence you will gradually learn to overcome it.
Part 4 of 4: Positioning
Step 1. Look for free spaces when your team has possession of the ball
Enter the space and do it often.
Step 2. Use your game vision to not go offside
Shoot into space at the right time.
Step 3. Call the ball when you free yourself in space
If you reach the backcountry, do a cross, or dribble into the center to finish at the net or pass to a teammate.
