i'd say just relax. before a game, share a laugh with some friends, just pretend your out in the park messing around and having fun. of course don't mess around when the game starts and you start going through your warm up, but just try to have fun.
another thing: when playing with your friends, you're usually thinking about showing off or just messing about so you try all these different moves. so what i think you need to do is practice 1 move or two each week or two till you get it perfectly and have used it succesfully in practice or games before shifting to another move to perfect. if you get confident and comfortable enough with a move, you're bound to use it in a game sometime, its just a matter of practice i think. so, i hope this helps. basically jsut relax and practice moves over and over (and over) again.

You have to remember that everybody mess up once in a while. Just watch any proffesional game played. Everytime a forward goes past his defender the defender has made a mistake. And every time the defender takes the ball the forward has made a mistake. And every pass that doesn't find the right adress, that's also a mistake. It's all about forgetting your mistakes as soon as possible. If you don't get past a defender in a game you can't be thinking of that the next time you get the ball, then the chance of failing again is pretty big. Just relax and don't let it bother you if make a mistake.
And also make sure that you are really comfortable with one or two moves. You don't have know all these fancy skills, if you can make one move perfect it doesn't matter if the defender always knows what you're about to do, it will work anyway. |

well this is what i do i s before the game i usually think how i am going to be in the game, how am i going to make mymoves on the players how am i going to make my passes. once i go in the field i do exactly what i was thinking of. usually when u play with ur friends u play for fun, and somtimes u think about what ur going to do when ur having a brake. also u should make good friends with ur t8s, its going to help u have more confidence. if u r good friends with ur t8s, ur going to play exactly like when u ply with ur friends, and making them have confedence in u.

just relax calm down and believe in yourself. The first step to success on the field is winnning in your head first.

I know what you are feeling right now. I think the problem here is having fun in the game. Believe it or not, you do need to have fun. It helps your game a litle bit. This may be coming the difference from having to do well in a try out, and just playing with your friends. It is perfectly understandable why anyone would have this problem.
Unfortunately, there are no specific drills that can be done to overcome this. You just need to remind yourself why you play the game as many times as you can. To get you started off, why do you play the game? For most people it will be just because they simply love it. As times goes by and you go to more and more try outs your confidence level will increases dramatically, so a big part of overcoming this is experience...that can only come with time and commitment. So what do I reccomend? Here are some tips: -Play as much soccer as you can, both for fun and more serious. -Find out what relaxes you before a game (can be anything, for me it's music). -Try to stay as relxed and calm as possible, but remain focused on your goal. -Remind yourself why you play the game you love so much. -Lastly, Have Fun!
Hope this has helped you, Mike |

The same thing seems to happens to me when I play I can't get anything right and I'm always messing up!  I also have a cofidence problem too but no one tells me that I'm bad but I know they're thinking it when I mess up and because I know they're thinking that I lose all self cofidence in myself and I can't do anything right and I take less chances to do moves and when I get the ball I just pass it off so I don't mess up but when I pass it off I mess up!  and it makes me so MAD  .I hope we both find an answer to our problem.

His frustrations are trying to get to you. Go out, work as hard as you can, and prove him wrong next game/practice. |

You don't need to be the best to be the leader of the team. Look at Roy Keane, Patrick Vieira, Zagorakis, Xavi... and so on. They try to be apart of the team, and if this kid is talking to you you need to step up and ask him what his problem is.
