How To Become A Great Soccer Player

Soccer take time and effort if you want to become great. You have to master the soccer ball. And you also have to overcome adversity – there will be ups and downs. You’ll get cut from a team or go through spells of injuries or not playing as much as you want to.

It’s about fighting through that and playing your best because you love the game. Even if one soccer coach doesn’t play you doesn’t mean there isn’t a team where your skills and ability will be more appreciated. However, it’s key to take criticism from coaches and try to improve upon what they think your game is lacking.

Funny quote from Arsene Wenger about showing respect to the opposing team after you score goals:

One of the things I discovered in Japan was from watching sumo wrestling. At the end you can never tell who has won the fight, and who has lost, because they do not show their emotion because it could embarrass the loser. It is unbelievable. That is why I try to teach my team politeness. It is only here in England that everybody pokes their tongue out when they win.
