How To Improve Your Football Skills?
Skills To Become A Better Football Player
We all play football, and i would say everyone needs to play football to keep your body and mind fresh. So i always tell everyone that whatever in the field you are, try to become the best version of yourself. Though i am not professional but whatever i notice, i will tell you and this will definitely improve your football skills. Assuming, you all know the basics of football i just show you how to improve the quality of your playing. Lets begin...
So this basically works in two ways.
- Physical Training
- Mental Training
So in physical improvement you have to practice these skills an hour daily.
This will improve your ball-control and holding capacity, while you are playing football always remember try to keep the ball within your feet every time you face any obstacles. For more details you can google also.(i.e. like- what is dribbling?)- Speed and Agility
Speed is really very important in football. But you have to improve your agility then you will get benefit the most. So you have to practice in such a way that you will be fast at changing direction. While turning or slowing down your speed then again accelerating you have to be fast than your opponent. So now question is how to practice this skill. you can practice it with cones too. And if you don't have cones then use any obstacles instead of cones.- Kick
Now we come to the point where we have to make it a kick on the goal. But here i will suggest you to discover it by experimenting in the field. So i will suggest some kicks and rather than try it from yourself.

Now i will tell about about mental game of football. Actually dribbling, speed are never going to work if you are not smart. You just have to draw a mental map of the field and you will be always a step ahead of the play.- 1.Scanning
Remember always scan the whole field, your team as well as opponents. You should have aware with the position of all players. This will not only improve your passing skill but also you will be master on blocking the opponent's way.
- 2.Use opponent's Movement/speed
Your skills won't be with you if you can't handle the ball using opponent's movement. That's why agility is so important than speed. you can't always beat your opponent by speed but by agility you can do. So move with the ball in one direction then suddenly change your direction then again change another way. I will give some gif where players are utilizing opponent's speed/movements.

- Strategy :
The most important to win the game is strategy. As we know it is a play of 11 so teamwork will be so much beneficial for win the game. While you are a mid-player, striker or defender always make a strong strategy before the play and execute it. I will put some strategies pic here. You will have a idea about that.
Rather than from all this how you will react in extreme moment that matters. Many people loose hope and can not give the output what he use to do at early moment. So never give up, give your best and fight upto last moment....
