In this article I will present 7 free soccer training tips that you should print out and read before every practice. Many of the things mentioned here are pretty obvious. However, be honest and ask yourself how many times you actually follow all the things mentioned here.
1. Always show up in time to your practice. If you are late call your coach or send him a message through one of your teammates. Believe me, coaches' hate when players are late.
2. Keep yourself focused during the drills and avoid discussing off topics with your teammates. Don't either impeach your coach may see this as a sign on arrogance. Instead, try to perform the drills with maximum focus and don't hesitate to ask your coach if there is something with the drill that you don't understand.
3. Put maximum effort in your practices as it will affect your games. This is pretty important because every session is just like a regular game. This means that if you don't put enough effort in your training session you will not either do this during your regular games.
4. Never argue with the coach whether his decisions or critic during the practice is justified. Instead, realize that critic is a part of the game and if you want to become successful in soccer you will need to learn how to handle it. I know by experience that keeping your mouth closed while someone is criticizing you is hard, but believe me, once you do it few times or so it will not be a problem anymore.
5. Help your coach with moving the goal, collecting cones, filling the water bottles and so on. Many players don't realize how much time it takes to coach a soccer team. As a player you need to take your responsibility and help your coach. Also, tell your teammates that they should help the coach too because if you help each other it will be much funnier to practice.
6. Treat your teammates with respect and encourage them when they make mistakes. Don't either blame your mistakes on the others because you will only make your teammates upset.
7. Make a quick resume of every practice and analyze what you've done wrong and try to correct it during the upcoming training session. Identifying your weak sides can be though as you may are not even aware of them. However, you could always ask your coach or your teammates what you need to improve and then work on that particular skill in the upcoming training sessions.
