2. Dont panic. Its not the end of the world if you make a mistake.
3. Focus. Clear your head of all those "what if I make a bad move or wrong pass" thoughts. Focus on the game.
4. Be hardworking. Show them that you have the determination to run, defend, attack. etc. Don't play like a person who is high on weed or something; be energetic, let others feel your energy.
5. Have good stature. Don't slouch. Have a good posture. Back straight, chin up. Also try to play with "swag". This might help you build confidence.
6. Most important point- HAVE FUN! Soccer is a beautiful game, enjoy it to the maxium.
Hello! Im very shy as well, so i understand whats going on. Really, shyness is just in your personality. I would try to be, or at least, act a bit more confident, but don't over do it. If you hear about others who are trying out too, i think you should try to get to know them a bit, be friendly to them! If you would feel awkward doing this, i would say to at least find out what type of personality they have. Just like how you can be shy, someone else could feel really outgoing. If you know their personality, try to imitate it. For an example, if someone is very lively, try to be very lively too. I have found that doing so and copying peoples personalities have made me also feel like a more confident and outgoing person. Good Luck :)
Okay so first of lemme tell you what my problem is. I have this problem since I started playing soccer. I started playing soccer in a team and on the streets when I was literally about 5 years old. So the problem is I am very very VERY shy. So every time I try out for a team i dont make it because I don't have any chemistry with the other player, which ends up with me playing bad. The thing is I have to have a good connection with the teammates I'm playing with. So that my problem.
Now lemme tell you guys about me. I really don't want to brag or sound cocky...but I am reaaaaaly good at soccer. When I was a sophomore in high school I was trying out for the JV soccer team. Long story short.... I made it into the varsity team. That's only because I knew alot of the guys and had a good relationship with them. You get the idea...I am very good but when I play with strangers at a try out I always get intimidated and play bad.
I have this upcoming try out for my college soccer team, does anybody have any good advice for me how I can overcome this fear/problem? I really wanna make this team. Anything will help just don't be mean or something cuz I don't wanna hear stuff like that.
Thanks for any help! !
