Q&A for How to Be a Better Soccer Player

The best instructor is playing the game. It's definitely great to know the concepts, but you have to play. Make sure to get hours and hours of practice and touches on the ball. Another thing that I recommend is watching videos of your soccer playing to get a different perspective. When you watch your playing on video, you can pause it and dissect the movements or the game. This can really help you understand the game as well.

Go on a treadmill or outside and jog for 30 seconds, run for 30 seconds, and sprint for 30 seconds. This helps because during a soccer game, you are never at one speed the whole game.

Cardio exercise is best. Soccer is a non-stop sport, so you need to improve endurance.

You'll need soccer balls, cones, and a goal (or use two cones). The players will need cleats and shin guards.

You should consult a dietitian for this. They can give you a diet that will help you perform better in soccer while still sticking to your dietary limitations.

Yes. Having the right equipment is vital to getting better. If you buy equipment you can practice at your house, in your backyard, or a park. This will improve your skills.

A soccer field, a grassy area, a park, a back alley, your backyard, a friend's place, an oval, a shared field, a farm, a prairie, a town square, etc. Any of these places and more would be good, just keep away from vehicles, other games and other activities going on.

Whether you're a coach or a player, getting the most out of practice is the best way to get the most out of your games. Good soccer practices are focused, challenging, and technical. You don't want to just show up ahead of time; have a plan for improvement and the work ethic to make it a reality.

To become the best attacking midfielder will take some very hard work. It depends on how old you are, if you are young (10-14) then you can still get your definition to become fast, strong, etc. But if you are a teen or a young adult, then it will take some hard work. You definitely have to have a good diet, but you also have to manage your time to go to the gym and get stronger, faster, etc.

You always have enough time! Not having enough time is just another excuse for players who don't want to become the best. Honestly, if you don't have the time, just don't play the sport, it seems you have better things to do. If you don't have the time, then it's just a hobby to you.

It really depends on how willing you are to practice. If you practice constantly, then you're talking a good year or two at max. But, it varies from person to person. It took me 3 years to figure out how to be an average soccer player. I've joined a soccer club recently to hone in on my skills because I need to get better with being ambidextrous (not every soccer player has this ability, but it's good to start now.) If you work on juggling, trapping, using in-step and out-step, kick well with one foot for a while until you feel confident, than switch to the other, then you'll be a great soccer player.

You should try out HIIT workouts at home from apps or videos, go jogging or yoga at home. If you lack motivation to work out at home consider getting a gym membership and ask the trainers for advice.

Well, football is a sport which could take one afternoon to learn to the whole life, so the answer is different for some people. Typically 3-10 years, to learn the basics, but the whole would take at least 30 years.

Skill is very important in a game. To have good skill you must exercise alot and practice soccer. In a game as well as skill speed and strength are important things to have. You need speed to be able to catch up with the ball. You need strength to be able to kick the ball high and far.

Attacking and defending is one of the most hard positions. If you want to become a attacker, then you need to have a good speed and by speed, that means you can run really fast so you can beat the defenders once you pass them. You also need have so good skills in order for you to beat the defenders. Your shooting needs to be really good, like you need to work on your finishing, curving, heading and so on.
