Tips for Defenders, Mids, Forwards

[Adi]

If I can give everyone one tip, it would be to get in top shape. If your fitness is excellent you will outperform most players on the pitch. Most teenagers are too involved in other things to get in shape. They don't see the benefit in running 2 miles every day when they can hang out with friends, play on video games, chase girl, or drink. This is where the successful soccer players break away from those that will never make it past the high school or club level. If you just go out and run on a regular basis to stay fit, you will be far ahead of most young players.

that is a very good tip.

but it should also be mentioned that intelligence on the pitch and experience and skills count for more than that.

i played a futsal match once with a bunch of older guys.  former yeovil player, former swindon player, former everton player, former torquay player, a former fulham player, a former birmingham player, a former stoke city player, and etc.

they ranged in age from late 20s and early 30s up to guys in their 40s and 50s and 60s.

even the gray haired men in their 60s could still out play us because he knew exactly where to be and how to play each passes and shots and etc.

if really really wanna go anywhere in the game then your workrate has to be ahead of everyone else's usually just to get considered for a team

talent is always a nice thing to have as well

not necessarily..one of the best players I've ever known (as in deking the shit out of provincial players good) almost never trained or came to practice...and yet when he was on, nobody could even touch him, it was like everyone else was in a diferent time zone or something....he was something special. The first game I ever played with him he scored 4 goals (we're talking travel team, club fotball) asnd made the other team look like fools.

Another guy I knew was even lazier, but in games, he could be absolutely killer, with sick moves, great speed, and an explosive shot.

Another guy I knew had a ridiculous work rate, played for around 3 teams, and on the field he just didn't get tired....he was consistently brilliant, with fast feet and a ridiculous shot

so yeah it depends

be the bravest/craziest bastard on the field, willingly to put yourself in pain for the sake of your team/teamates

be able to read the game better than anyone.  yell out orders to your defenders and organize them well.  know your positioning and make the correct decisions and you may never even be forced into one diving save the entire match and still keep a clean sheet, unless the opposition does something spectacular.

be a leader.  be the smartest man on the pitch.
