5 QUALITIES THAT WILL INSTANTLY MAKE YOU A BETTER SOCCER PLAYER:
1. INTELLIGENCE: Having a unique blend of intelligence and perception will give you an edge over your opponents, doubling your chances of creating and scoring goals. Understanding and having a clear vision of what you want to do with the ball when rushing the keeper is key.
2. PASSING & VISION: As a team player being able not only to find, but pass the ball to your teammates, creating goal scoring opportunities will separate you from the rest. Practice being a good passer.
3. AGILITY: Combined with good ball control, your agility will allow you to make quick turns, switch and use your body deceptively, when trying to beat your opponents who might be trying to strip the ball away from you.
4. COMBATIVENESS: Having a "never give up" attitude on the football field will serve you well. Chasing down the ball when you lose it, relentlessly pursuing your opponents when they have the ball, closing them down to get the ball. These are some of the "combative" attributes that will set you apart from the rest and make you a more valuable player.
5. SPEED: Having good ball control won't be enough. You still need to have tremendous speed, and be able to accelerate or decelerate at a moment's notice, blasting through defenders giving yourself a chance to shoot and score.
