How do I become a great soccer player?
Posted on December 27th, 2009 4 commentsOne of the fifty goals I have for this summer is to become a great soccer player. Now I don’t expect to become as good as David Beckham anytime soon, but I at least want to know I am a skillful soccer player, and if I were to take part in any soccer games, I would have a good chance of doing good in the game. When I was younger I played soccer with a small team sponsored from the town I live in, where anyone could join. I played defense, but was never really good at the sport in general. I’m fourteen now and I want to become a great soccer player this summer, one that can play a fair game. So what should I do to become great at this sport, without professional training or help from a camp?
I don’t you you understand my question, I’m not asking how to become a famous soccer player, I’m asking what activities I can do to become a better player.4 responses to “How do I become a great soccer player?”

Practice, practice, practice
The first step is the most obvious, and the hardest to do. It’s not enough to only attend training session twice a week with your teammates. Future professional players spend individual time with the ball every day to sharpen their skills and supplement their team practices. If you want to succeed in soccer, then you’ll be practicing every day.Update your soccer resume
You might not think your soccer career is noteworthy now, but start keeping track anyway. Keep a record of every team you’ve ever played for. Track your statistics, the team’s statistics, and every award you’ve received. Soccer resumes should also include an imbedded digital photo, your date of birth, height, weight, position, dominant foot, coaches’ references and GPA for university consideration.
Be sure to continue to update your soccer resume with current information year to year so that it’s ready to be forwarded to an interested coach, scout, agent, school or club at any moment.
Don’t think of it as bragging. Think of it as an honest assessment of the kind of player you are. When it comes to trying to play professional soccer, nobody’s going to toot your horn for you. That’s something you’ve got to do yourself.
It’s also a good idea to put together a soccer video resume or a highlight reel to send to university coaches or professional scouts who haven’t had the chance to see you play. A personalized soccer video resume will effectively show what words and pictures cannot, and that may be the difference in getting a foot in the door.Don’t leave discovery to chance
We all hear the stories about somebody who was just playing soccer in a park with friends when a professional scout happened by and signed them to a multi-million dollar contract. It makes for nice fantasy, but the chances of that actually happening are roughly one in 1.4 billion. You’ve got to get yourself out there.
One way to do that is to attend elite soccer camps or high-level showcase camps, where professional scouts or football clubs will most likely be looking for fresh blood. Try to play in as many high-visibility games as you can, whether it’s in college, at camps or in local competitive club matches. -

Start with the basics by practicing juggling, that helps improve your touch on the ball.
By improving your touch you can dribble better, by dribbling better you will be comfortable looking up at the whole field, and then it will be easier to pass.
