I have been playing soccer for 7 years. Still, the beginners are as good, if not better than me.. I love soccer,and dont want to quit, but i also don't want to spend my life on the bench. How do I improve?
These are the main ingredients to improving: love the game, and practice and play as much as possible. If you do all this, and have a positive attitude in doing so, you will improve very quickly. by Expert 11:54:56 Friday 31 December 2004
