Don't forget you're playing on a team. If your team members are supportive of you, you should also support them. Don't act like a stuck-up star and hog the ball. Try to support your own team as much as possible.
When you play football always remember that safety comes first. Always practice the habit of safety, whether you are in the weight room, on the field for practice, during game time and even celebrating after a win (or coping with a loss). Wear proper protection, whether it's the seat belt or using a spotter to help you.
Stay healthy to stay on the field. This means always taking the time to warm up before practice, hitting the gym, or playing a game. Give your body's immune system a boost with solid nutrition and hygiene. Then, practice often for best results.
Perform drills that will improve your agility. Many people are surprised to learn that the most agile athletes are often football players. You should be able to avoid tackles as well as make catches. All sorts of workout routines should be performed in order to increase flexibility on the football field.
It is imperative that you do weight training when you are playing football. Training year round is best. Lift both heavy weights and light weights to build speed and strength. Both skills are needed to be a winning player.
The best football players are agile. Some great agility-boosting exercises are jumping rope, running through tires, and jumping over some cones. Power, speed and quick reflexes are requirements for strong players. All of those exercises incorporate quick thinking, coordination and speed. The more you work it, the more agile mentally and physically you will be.
Use both feet for better speed and overall play. Most players have one lead-off foot they tend to rely on, and perform better with. By adapting the other foot to serve as a leading foot, you will not only increase your speed and takeoff, but also your maneuverability.
A good work ethic should help you get more time on the field. Some players benefit from being naturally talented but successful players will tell you that they worked very hard to get where they are. A coach prefers a hard working player instead of a naturally talented player who is lazy.
As a kicker, work on increasing your kicking distance. Weight lifting helps build strength which is essential for powerful, long-distance kicks. You must also work on your flexibility in order to do long kicks with ease. Stretch after each work out session and make sure to get your leg muscles extra loose to improve your range of movement.
No one likes making mistakes out on the football field. Yet, you are human and are going to make mistakes. Use the information you learned from this article to help you play a better game. You will soon see a real difference and feel a lot more confident than before about your abilities.
