Essential Soccer Tips for Beginners

Football is the ballet of the masses.

• Soccer is the world's game for a good reason --
  it is both simple enough to learn in an afternoon
  and complex enough to spend your whole life
  learning. Being a better soccer player means
  different things to different people, but good
  ball control and on-field intelligence is
  essential for any player. Once you have felt the
  feeling of scoring, making that important assist
  pass, or being a wall at the defense, you will be
  hooked on the sport for life.
• Here you will find seven very important tips that
  will help you develop into the soccer player that
  you want to become.

3
Always Have a Plan

• It doesnt matter if you are on the practice field
  or in a game situation, you simply have to plan
  ahead to give yourself the best chance to
  succeed. Without a plan, you will greatly slow
  your development because you will be putting more
  effort into making things up as you go.

4
Focus on Team Defense First

• Defense is also the best way to develop chemistry
  with your teammates. There arent too many better
  feelings in sports than knowing that you
  accomplished a tough task as a team, and you will
  see that the teams with the best defensive
  chemistry are often near the top of the standings
  in their leagues.

5
Work Hard Off the Ball

• Some players save all of their effort for when
  they receive a pass, but that is a very small
  part of the game. When your teammates have the
  ball, always work on getting into the best
  position possible for your specific position.
  Doing so will open up the field for your team and
  will greatly increase your possession numbers.

6
Take Pride in Knowing Your Teams Tactics

• Many new players put most of their focus on what
  they need to work on as individuals rather than
  focusing on becoming a good team player. You need
  to realize early on that you have a better chance
  of improving quicker when you get a full
  understanding of your coach's tactics.

7
Don't Try to Be Perfect

• It is true that you should want to be the very
  best soccer player that you can be, but that does
  not mean that you should put an extraordinary
  amount of pressure on yourself. Your main focus
  should be on developing into a better player,
  which means that you should recognize your
  weaknesses and slowly improve upon them.

8
Learn to Want the Ball

• Unless you were born to play soccer (no one was),
  you will probably be a bit nervous when you first
  start playing. Your instinct may be to get the
  ball to more experienced players as quickly as
  possible, but that is the wrong mental approach
  to have.

9
Stay Positive

• No matter what happens on the soccer field, you
  should always be learning (How to Become a Soccer
  Player with a Winners Mentality). Having a
  positive mindset will enable you to learn from
  your mistakes quicker and will give your
  teammates a boost as well. When you stay positive
  through all of the good and the bad things that
  happen on the field, you will see that you will
  make fewer mistakes in future games.
