Here is the answer to one of the most asked questions. The ultimate goal of any soccer player. How realistic is it? Do you have what it takes? Well of course this website will create the skills that you need to play but what exactly do you need? Lets take a look.

The first thing every player needs to have is a the structure of the player which is fitness. Are you strong, fast,have enough endurance to survive 90 minutes plus even extra time? This is the first thing you need and without it you will never play pro especially in the MLS which is an especially physical league.

Next is your knowledge of the game. Do you have great vision and know where you are supposed to be all the time? Do you always know what to do on the pitch? You must have this to play Soccer professionally.

Third is your skill level. Can you blast shoots into the corner of the net or get past defender or defend with ease? You must have top notch skill to play pro.

Finally, is the most important thing and the reason that you are on this website. Desire and passion for soccer and the desire to get better. You need to want to get better. You have to want to play to the best of your abilities. Do you practice all the time at home or everywhere you go? Do you arrive to practice early[if you can] and are the last one to leave[if you can]. This is the most important thing. Practice as hard as you can and you will get better. Thats how everyone gets good, there is no magic skill that just decides if you play pro or not. To play pro you must love the game and practice at almost every opportunity. Read this site and practice it if you are having trouble with something. Good luck and if you in the future become pro i would be delirious to hear from you.

]]>Tryoutshttp://jakeo-soccer.wetpaint.com/page/Tryoutsmarth5495http://jakeo-soccer.wetpaint.com/page/TryoutsSat, 14 Jun 2008 16:14:00 CDT


This guide was created for people who get nervous at tryouts or just want to make it an easier experience.

First be confident you can do this. Don't make a goal for what team you will make, or that will make you play worse, and also it will make you sad if you don't make it.

If you made a team lower then you wanted to, be positive, this means you can score more goals. Try hard in practice, work hard at home and soon the coach will recognize your talent and move you up.

If your on the highest team still give it your all, just because your on the highest team doesn't mean you don't have to try hard. Remember also that everyone wants to be on that team and will be trying really hard to get there.

Remember, the coaches aren't always right. If you think they didn't notice you and didn't give you a fair shot ask for a private tryout. Even if you still don't make it, he will recognize your willing to work hard to move up.

Never quit no matter how bad it looks. It can only go up, remember you don't have to be a professional athlete. athlete. The reason your here is for fun.

If your not having fun look at your options, if none of these work try switching leagues. You may not be able to play with your friends, but it is not worth it if your not having fun. Besides you will make new friends in the league. Also just because your not on their team any more doesn't mean you can't hang out. Invite them over. You should try to schedule a scrimmage game if they are not on your schedule.

Don't look at the coaches during tryout this will make you nervous, make them think you have low self esteem, and make you not play as well.

Play the same as you would in a regular game.

don't try to be to fancy this may cause you to mess up.

Cheer on you teammates, coaches love a leader, but don't get down on them.

If the coach asks you what position you play say that, but say you can play other
positions.

Be aggressive use your body, but not to much, coaches hate guys who foul a lot.

Call for the ball a lot.

Pass a lot coaches like guys who pass, but not to much if you have a shot or something like that, take it.

Don't use offensive language, coaches don't like that.

If a coach says something to you show that you understand and that you will do better next time.

Things That Will Help You Make The Top Team:

A good opposite foot

Speed

Passion for the game of Soccer

Intensity

Confidence

Leadership

      Agility

      • -->

        Leagues


        First you need to choose a league. Make sure the league is good for you before you sign up. Each one has a different reason to play. You also have to make sure you are playing at or around your level. If you need help finding a league you may use our League Finder or ask around. There may be flyers at school or in the mail and stuff. Here are the different levels of play:

        Rec- Rec is the level of play for younger kids if you are at a certain age you can either move up to academy or stay in rec. Most consider this the lowest level of play. However, there can be some good kids in rec who don't have enough money to play in select or academy. Or there parents won't pay the money because they think it is too much. Or if your parents don't want to spend the time. It pains me when good players are in rec because they will eventually even out because in rec the coaches are volunteers. If you want to play in high school and collage then you can not play in rec. However, in rec everyone should get even playing time and it is more about having fun then playing pro or winning.

        Academy- Academy is for younger players who want to play at a higher level with payed coaches etc. This is how most decide if they want to play select. In academy you try out for teams however the players are often moved around from team to team. If you make a lower team don't worry i have seen D team players move up all the way to Classic 1. If you practice and you are determined and try your best anything can happen.

        Classics/Select- Classics are your team rankings after you finish academy. The state decides where your at. Classic 1 is the best and Classic 5 or 6 is the worst. To move up in the classics you need to get in the top 2 or 1 depending on the decision by the state. You also can move down this way. Classic 1 or 2 and maybe 3 are teams full of kids wanting to play Soccer through high-school or beyond.

        State- If you win Classic 1 you can play other state teams. If you are on a state team you will be under a lot of pressure. Also at the end of the season new kids will try out and possible knock you off the team. However, kids playing on the state team get a looked at by high school and possible collage scouts.

        Gear


        soccer cleats- or turf shoes make sure your league allows cleats cause some don't at younger ages.


        shin-guards-you need these to protect your shins.

        SOCCER SOCKS-you need these long socks for the obvious reasons.

        SOCCER BALL-make sure it is the proper size for the age group. Usually 8-9 is a size four ball and 12-13 is a size 5 ball. Anything below that is a size three.

        WATER BOTTLE-for water.

        Buy all these gear at your local Soccer store.

        How to put on your gear


        First put your soccer socks on and pull them all the way up. They should be long.

        Next, pull up the top of your sock and put your shin-guards in each sock and fasten it. Note most shin-guards are slid-ons however some are not. If you don't have slid-ons then put on your shin-guards first then put on your socks over them.

        Third, put the part of your sock that is above your shin-guards over your sock.

        Next, move around shin-guard so it is covering your shin but you are comfortable.

        Finally, Put cleats/turf shoes on.

        Coaching


        The most important thing is having a good coach,make sure you do. A coach is everything if you have a bad coach switch leagues or look at other options. First, before you sign up with a league check out the coach. What type of coach is he?Here are the three most common types:


        Well-Rounded-the most common and best coach for coaching academy level these coaches no when to be mean and when to be nice.

        Tough- These coaches give you a tough love. If you get a compliment from one of these then you definitely deserve it. These coaches usually coach high level Soccer Select and above. They usually get the most out of there players if they don't burn them out and make them quit.

        Nice- These coaches are good for Rec players usually our players who just want to have fun and not make a career out of it.

        Make sure you know your coach and watch him coaching in games and stuff before you make a decision on your coach. Make sure you know your kid. If your kid breaks down and crys when he gets yelled at maybe a tough coach isn't good for him. However, note that the starting at U13 if you are playing at a high level most coaches will be tough but not all. Also if you are a coach or becoming one look at my coaches guide it will help you much. It is all the stuff i have learned over the years from coaches,coming soon to my website. If you need help on the rules of the game then look at the rules guide.

        Teammates


        Though this is hard to determine you need to make sure that your the teammates on the chosen team are nice and do not put people down for messing up in games etc. One of the main things that makes Soccer fun is having good teammates and making friends on the team.

        Well this abort raps it up look at my other guides there are many things in there for beginners too. If you have any questions about the basics of Soccer just comment below and i will answer them and add it to my guide. You can also email me at thecompletesoccerguide@yahoo.com

Here are some tips to help you become a better leader.

        First off make sure you don't over due being a leader, remember you do have a coach.

        Leaders don't need to say a lot. Most of the time they are there to motivate the team not get down on them. Usually getting down on someone is the coaches job. Be positive and say stuff such as We can get it back after giving up a goal.

        However, if a player repeatedly does something wrong such as not pass the ball then the leader should be the one to step up and tell him to pass the ball.

        Have your coach either pick a team captain, who is the leader, or allow the team to elect a captain. Also have one or two co-captains for when he gets subbed out. Also, note that picking a captain is for higher levels, usually start this at around 13 or when the team starts to play 11V11.

        If you want to be a leader the best way to improve your ability is to practice it whether it be at school on a big project, work in a group, or on your soccer team. You will see that being a leader will be easy and eventually second nature with practice. There are also other ways such as leadership clubs and classes.

        Being a leader is a tough job. It could be you your team looks to when down in a big game or the coach is unfair but you will find that is is also as rewarding as tough. Also, advice for a leader, coaches love them most of the time so make sure you show your leadership in tryouts.

        Thanks for reading this guide and i will add more tips soon.

        Some people might want to step up on a soccer team and become a leader.

        Though you don't have to be a big muscle man to succeed in Soccer you do need to work out run and all that stuff. I will show you how to do that. With this guide you will learn how to get a workout routine,learn how to get more flexible,

        Get a Workout Routine


        Getting a workout routine is essential if you want to work out efficiently. First be confident starting a new workout routine will be hard at first, but if you keep working at it is will become a habit and will be easier. Now before you can start working out you need to figure out your fitness level. Your fitness level is the state in which your body is currently at. You will have to work up in all parts of fitness to improve your fitness level. When you have a high fitness level you will have high endurance which is how much of something you can do. You have an endurance level for all aspects of fitness and you will find that your life and especially your Soccer life will be much easier when you can run six miles easily. To find your fitness level you need to do some stuff below such as running a mile or push-ups. Find your fitness level for everything which is how many you can do. You will need that for later.
        Now you need to make a schedule or workout routine. First you need to figure out your best time of energy. If you are one of those guys or girls who are buzzing with energy in the morning then try to plan your workouts in the morning. If you find that you have most energy during the day which is most common then a workout scheduled in the day is for you. If you are a male then around 5:00 to 6:00 PM you will be very energized due to testrourion. If you are most energized around night then you should work-out then. However, if you work-out right before you go to bed you will be too energized and it will be hard to go to sleep. I understand with your busy schedule it might by hard to workout when you are most energized, but you just have to work through it or try to schedule around it. For instance the most common time for busy people is to work-out in the morning. If you are not a morning person like me and you are to busy try deferent methods of getting energized such as taking a shower before you workout to wakeup. Also, after waking up at the same time it gets to be a habit and is not that bad. Next, you will need to find out how to do all the important aspects of fitness and when. If you are a Soccer player then you need to work on all of them to be successful. To show how much you need of each for Soccer i have created a little pyramid.

        Abs!!!!
        Agility!!!!!!!!!
        Flexibility!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        Muscle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        Speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        Endurance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Know that you know the important aspects of fitness you need to figure out how to apply them into your workout. Heres my workout plan:
        First, i stretch.
        Next, i workout with pull-ups and push-ups.
        Third, i workout my abs.
        Finally, i stretch again to let my muscles cool down then end the workout.

        Next Day
        I start the day by waking up early then running.
        After my jog, i stretch.
        Next, i work on agility, speed, and endurance by using an obstacle course. It can be a simple obstacle course or a hard one. What i use are cones, stepping ladders, and Soccer goals and other goals leaned against each other so you have to turn to get through them. At your house if you play sports you should find stuff for an obstacle course.
        After that, i run sprints with and without the Soccer ball.
        Finally, i stretch.

        Your schedule should be something like that switching off. Try to make your own workout schedules that include all the aspects of fitness. If you have a hard muscular workout then next day you should do other aspects of fitness so your muscles don't get overwhelmed. You should also if you want have two rest days a week. These could be days where you are really busy or you just don't want to work out. Now that you have done all this stuff i think it is finally time to start learning how to get fit. Finally!


        Flexibility


        Flexibility may not really help you in Soccer but it is very important if you don't want to get injured. Injuries can ruin an entire Soccer career when it comes to high school and collage Soccer and you don't want to be the kind of player who has a reputation for getting injured a lot. Stretching can also give you longer playing time in a season because you won't get as injured so if you think it is long and boring now, it will be even more boring on the sidelines out for the season. Also, when you are younger you think your mister invincible because you don't get injured very often and you bounce right back. It will catch up with you though. If you are young this is the best time to stretch because once you hit puberty those bones will tighten up and you will get injured a lot if you didn't stretch. For me i didn't stretch start stretching really to i had a gym class in 6th grade about stretching. Now i have tendinitis of the ankles. Don't be like me if your young. If you are older it still isn't to late. You may not be able to be as flexible as someone who stretched when he was younger but you can still be flexible. Now that i have gotten you convinced that stretching is important we need to take a flexibility test. Reach down and try to touch your toes. Bend your knees slightly but not very much. If you can touch your toes thats good. If you can touch the ground that great. If you can't touch your toes you have work to do. Now to test the flexibility in your arms by reaching out with one hand a little left or right of your neck. Then use your other hand to try to try to touch that from you back. If you can do it with both hands then you are doing well. If you can do it with one hand thats good to. Now that you have taken both flexibility tests you sorta found out how flexible you are. Now you need to find out how to get more flexible. To get more flexible you will use static stretching. Static stretching is slowly stretching for a longer amount of time. there are other types of stretching but i have found that static is by far the best and you can't get injured. To do static stretching you start with a stretch at 15 seconds then work your way up to 30 seconds.Do not do less then 15 seconds even though this is hard at first. Also, do not do more then 30. If you want to stretch it some more the shake it out then start all over. Don't stretch a joint to much though. If a joint gets sore stop stretching it. Use these stretches and in time you will see an improvement in your flexibility. Even when you pass the flexibility test keep stretching! Also, you will need to know when to stretch. You should stretch after you warm-up for five to 10 minutes while doing a physical activity. You should also stretch after a cool down for an activity. I like to stretch before and after my workouts. You can stretch anytime in the day also. Try to get at least ten minuted worth of stretching in your work-out every day. Here are some stretches:

        Touch your toes- Bend over and try to touch your toes while slightly bending you knees. Eventually, you should be able to touch the ground.

        Crossovers- Cross your legs and try to touch your toes or the ground. Make sure you switch feet.

        Balance- Hold you leg to stretch it.

        Calf Raisers- Lift your foot up so the weight is on the ankle then try to touch the foot.

        Mule- Get in push-up position then put one foot around the other. Try to get the foot thats up in the air to touch the ground.

        Superman- Lay down on your chest. Then move the opposite arm or leg. So if your left arm is raised your right leg should be raised. Then hold it.

        Sit down- Sit down and put one leg out and the other one in your chest. Then stretch with both arms to the leg outwards.

        I will add more stretches soon. If you want to add stretches go to the Soccerpedia for this page.

        Getting Muscle Mass


        Work up- Don't flat out start doing 50 push-ups work up to it by adding a few a day. This will keep you from injuring yourself and will help you build more muscle mass or what ever you are trying to get.

        Don't use weights to you are around 14 otherwise you will injure your arms.

        Do pull-ups these are good for all ages because they lift your weight so it never gets much easier.


        Plan 2 rest days a week to rest your muscles and legs when you will run. Don't put them next to each other though.

        What i recommend is at least 50 push-ups every other day remember you don't have to do these all at once, you can do 5 sets of ten or ten sets of 5. However don't do like 20 then say you will do the rest later because half the time you won't or something will come up. And at least 10 pull-ups for muscle mass. Starting when you are 10. Then add on more when you think you can.

        Endurance


        Run on the days you are not working out. Really push yourself during your run. If you want listen to your ipod while running, do it. However make sure u don't have to change to different songs. Before you run drink a lot of water but not so much you will get a cramp. Don't do anything weird with your hands just pump them and it will help you a lot, especially with running up hills.Don't eat much before you run but if you want to try protein and carbs like ham on a croissant. This will give you protein and carbs. Try to run at least 1 mile every other day.

        Agility


        Just do stuff with cones every day such as jumping in and out of them. Agility is very important in Soccer because it helps with balance and quick decisions you need to do in Soccer. Learn from your coaches stuff to do in agility since it is very hard for me to explain. Do this whenever you feel like it. You don't have to do this every day, but if you can once a week is good. You can do it every day but you don't have to. Also practice this with a ball.

        Speed


        To get speed run sprints or suicides. These will slowly help you get faster. Also before you start doing these make sure your posture is right. Pump your arms back and forth, you won't believe how much this helps. When your set on a target only look at that target do not look away. Take long strides if you can, i don't mean i lot longer just a centimeter will help a tiny bit. However don't focus on this. Race people. This will be fun and will help you a lot. Without racing people you won't go your fastest. Because you don't know your fastest, if you race you push yourself more making you go faster than your opponent. So race a lot. Also don't give up if you don't see improvement. IT IS VERY HARD TO IMPROVE WITH RUNNING. JUST 1 SECOND IMPROVEMENT IS HUGE. So time yourself any improvement in running is huge it could be the difference from scoring a goal and getting tackled by your teammates or you guys losing. Also practice this with a ball.

        Abs


        You may think getting a six-pack is hard. You also think that this has nothing to do with Soccer. Well I'm going to prove you wrong. Ok, lets see what you already know. To get abs you need to do crunches right. Like 500 a day right. Wrong, this workout is the secret workout and yet simple workout made by me to help you get abs.[ you also need to see the dieting guide] Ok so instead of 500 crunches/curl-ups what if i said you only needed to do 50. Yep 50 curl-ups a day. However the catch is you need to do other ab exercises. The two reason workouts don't work is because you keep dong the same thing. Here, you will only need to do 250 ab exercises every day to get a six-pack. You can do less then this and get a six-pack but every ones body is different. Some people no matter what can't get a six-pack to they are older. Some can get one at 6 years old. If your one that can't get one to your older then if you maintain diet and workout then you will get one eventually. You would have to keep switching the work-out up though and do different exercises. So don't give up. The time this workout will work is different for everyone. However you should start seeing results in about 3 weeks 6 weeks at maximum. Anyways there are many different ab exercises, here is what i do.I would also like to note that i know how hard it is to get abs and i am one that needs to get older, but i do have a flat stomach and while tighting the muscles they show, but they won't pop out yet.

        Curl-Ups-I do 50 Curl-Ups each day. Just lie down and while keeping your legs bent on the floor move your stomach to your legs and down again.

        Side Curl-Ups- I do 50 each side every day. Like Curl-Ups but bend to the side and do them. Remember you don't need to do these exercises all at once break it up then rest.

        Led-Raisers-Lay down then lift your legs up without bending them over your head. Then without bending them bring them almost to the floor then hold them as close as you can to the floor for about 5 seconds. Do 50 of these.

        Any exercise other than the ones you did. Do 50 of these. And switch it up every time.

        Doing these every day day will only take about 30 minutes. Now to prove the other question wrong. Abs help you to have better balance, which means better agility. It also makes you faster, and some people think stronger. Also push-ups will kinda help you with abs and running will help a lot. Doing these ab exercises will keep making you leaner to. and will take out that pushed out area of your stomach.

        Diet


        This isn't a hard diet at all. First of all i will explain the three things that make people fat, not being active:not exercising,eating fast food;eating donuts like every day, and drinking coke/Pepsi.

        Well we can check the exercising off right. Now about eating fast food, come-on its not even good well i used to think it was good and here is how i overcame that. If you eat natural or organic foods which taste just as good as the other products. Stuff that has crap in it won't taste good anymore. So don't eat fast food its very simple. If for some reason you still like fast food eat very few of it. If you need food fast it might be smart to bring around energy bars and other snacks that fill you up.

        Drinking Coke is not so simple. Well first order water with your coke and drink equal amounts of water and coke. Then after a while order just water. If it is like cherry coke and thats your favorite flavor that you can never find anywhere, you can take water and coke. Always take water and coke and drink an equal amount. Soon you won't like Coke as much and like water more. Hers a tip water makes you leaner Coke makes you fatter. And water makes you skin look better your hair look better and you feel so much better. It also washes away fat so you lose fat with drinking water.

        Avoid High Fructose Corn Syrup. This is like the worst stuff for you and its in a lot of things don't buy it if it has that.l

        Well thats a simple diet that helps a lot. Thank you for reading this guide and please post your results.

It's very easy and if you are stuck on adding something such as a video or picture we have quick help guides. To learn more visit What are Soccerpedias?


        Though you don't have to be a big muscle man to succeed in Soccer you do need to work out run and all that stuff. I will show you how to do that.


        Get a Workout Routine


        Getting a workout routine is essential if you want to work out efficiently. First be confident starting a new workout routine will be hard at first, but if you keep working at it is will become a habit and will be easier. Now before you can start working out you need to figure out your fitness level. Your fitness level is the state in which your body is currently at. You will have to work up in all parts of fitness to improve your fitness level. When you have a high fitness level you will have high endurance which is how much of something you can do. You have an endurance level for all aspects of fitness and you will find that your life and especially your Soccer life will be much easier when you can run six miles easily. To find your fitness level you need to do some stuff below such as running a mile or push-ups. Find your fitness level for everything which is how many you can do. You will need that for later.
        Now you need to make a schedule or workout routine. First you need to figure out your best time of energy. If you are one of those guys or girls who are buzzing with energy in the morning then try to plan your workouts in the morning. If you find that you have most energy during the day which is most common then a workout scheduled in the day is for you. If you are a male then around 5:00 to 6:00 PM you will be very energized due to testrourion. If you are most energized around night then you should work-out then. However, if you work-out right before you go to bed you will be too energized and it will be hard to go to sleep. I understand with your busy schedule it might by hard to workout when you are most energized, but you just have to work through it or try to schedule around it. For instance the most common time for busy people is to work-out in the morning. If you are not a morning person like me and you are to busy try deferent methods of getting energized such as taking a shower before you workout to wakeup. Also, after waking up at the same time it gets to be a habit and is not that bad. Next, you will need to find out how to do all the important aspects of fitness and when. If you are a Soccer player then you need to work on all of them to be successful. To show how much you need of each for Soccer i have created a little pyramid.

        Abs!!!!
        Agility!!!!!!!!!
        Flexibility!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        Muscle!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        Speed!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
        Endurance!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

        Know that you know the important aspects of fitness you need to figure out how to apply them into your workout. Heres my workout plan:
        First, i stretch.
        Next, i workout with pull-ups and push-ups.
        Third, i workout my abs.
        Finally, i stretch again to let my muscles cool down then end the workout.

        Next Day
        I start the day by waking up early then running.
        After my jog, i stretch.
        Next, i work on agility, speed, and endurance by using an obstacle course. It can be a simple obstacle course or a hard one. What i use are cones, stepping ladders, and Soccer goals and other goals leaned against each other so you have to turn to get through them. At your house if you play sports you should find stuff for an obstacle course.
        After that, i run sprints with and without the Soccer ball.
        Finally, i stretch.

        Your schedule should be something like that switching off. Try to make your own workout schedules that include all the aspects of fitness. If you have a hard muscular workout then next day you should do other aspects of fitness so your muscles don't get overwhelmed. You should also if you want have two rest days a week. These could be days where you are really busy or you just don't want to work out. Now that you have done all this stuff i think it is finally time to start learning how to get fit. Finally!



        Flexibility


        Flexibility may not really help you in Soccer but it is very important if you don't want to get injured. Injuries can ruin an entire Soccer career when it comes to high school and collage Soccer and you don't want to be the kind of player who has a reputation for getting injured a lot. Stretching can also give you longer playing time in a season because you won't get as injured so if you think it is long and boring now, it will be even more boring on the sidelines out for the season. Also, when you are younger you think your mister invincible because you don't get injured very often and you bounce right back. It will catch up with you though. If you are young this is the best time to stretch because once you hit puberty those bones will tighten up and you will get injured a lot if you didn't stretch. For me i didn't stretch start stretching really to i had a gym class in 6th grade about stretching. Now i have tendinitis of the ankles. Don't be like me if your young. If you are older it still isn't to late. You may not be able to be as flexible as someone who stretched when he was younger but you can still be flexible. Now that i have gotten you convinced that stretching is important we need to take a flexibility test. Reach down and try to touch your toes. Bend your knees slightly but not very much. If you can touch your toes thats good. If you can touch the ground that great. If you can't touch your toes you have work to do. Now to test the flexibility in your arms by reaching out with one hand a little left or right of your neck. Then use your other hand to try to try to touch that from you back. If you can do it with both hands then you are doing well. If you can do it with one hand thats good to. Now that you have taken both flexibility tests you sorta found out how flexible you are. Now you need to find out how to get more flexible. To get more flexible you will use static stretching. Static stretching is slowly stretching for a longer amount of time. there are other types of stretching but i have found that static is by far the best and you can't get injured. To do static stretching you start with a stretch at 15 seconds then work your way up to 30 seconds.Do not do less then 15 seconds even though this is hard at first. Also, do not do more then 30. If you want to stretch it some more the shake it out then start all over. Don't stretch a joint to much though. If a joint gets sore stop stretching it. Use these stretches and in time you will see an improvement in your flexibility. Even when you pass the flexibility test keep stretching! Also, you will need to know when to stretch. You should stretch after you warm-up for five to 10 minutes while doing a physical activity. You should also stretch after a cool down for an activity. I like to stretch before and after my workouts. You can stretch anytime in the day also. Try to get at least ten minuted worth of stretching in your work-out every day. Here are some stretches:

        Touch your toes- Bend over and try to touch your toes while slightly bending you knees. Eventually, you should be able to touch the ground.

        Crossovers- Cross your legs and try to touch your toes or the ground. Make sure you switch feet.

        Balance- Hold you leg to stretch it.

        Calf Raisers- Lift your foot up so the weight is on the ankle then try to touch the foot.

        Mule- Get in push-up position then put one foot around the other. Try to get the foot thats up in the air to touch the ground.

        Superman- Lay down on your chest. Then move the opposite arm or leg. So if your left arm is raised your right leg should be raised. Then hold it.

        Sit down- Sit down and put one leg out and the other one in your chest. Then stretch with both arms to the leg outwards.

        I will add more stretches soon. If you want to add stretches go to the Soccerpedia for this page.


        Getting Muscle Mass



        For instance my workout routine is to workout at 7:00 in the morning work out. Then the next day jog.

        Work up- Don't flat out start doing 50 push-ups work up to it by adding a few a day. This will keep you from injuring yourself and will help you build more muscle mass or what ever you are trying to get.

        Don't use weights to you are around 14 otherwise you will injure your arms.

        Do pull-ups these are good for all ages because they lift your weight so it never gets much easier.


        Plan 2 rest days a week to rest your muscles and legs when you will run. Don't put them next to each other though.

        What i recommend is at least 50 push-ups every other day remember you don't have to do these all at once, you can do 5 sets of ten or ten sets of 5. However don't do like 20 then say you will do the rest later because half the time you won't or something will come up. And at least 10 pull-ups for muscle mass. Starting when you are 10. Then add on more when you think you can.


        Endurance


        Run on the days you are not working out. Really push yourself during your run. If you want listen to your ipod while running, do it. However make sure u don't have to change to different songs. Before you run drink a lot of water but not so much you will get a cramp. Don't do anything weird with your hands just pump them and it will help you a lot, especially with running up hills.Don't eat much before you run but if you want to try ham on a croissant. This will give you protein and carbs. Try to run at least 1 mile every other day.


        Agility


        Just do stuff with cones every day such as jumping in and out of them. Agility is very important in Soccer because it helps with balance and quick decisions you need to do in Soccer. Learn from your coaches stuff to do in agility since it is very hard for me to explain. Do this whenever you feel like it. You don't have to do this every day, but if you can once a week is good. You can do it every day but you don't have to. Also practice this with a ball.


        Speed


        To get speed run sprints or suicides. These will slowly help you get faster. Also before you start doing these make sure your posture is right. Pump your arms back and forth, you won't believe how much this helps. When your set on a target only look at that target do not look away. Take long strides if you can, i don't mean i lot longer just a centimeter will help a tiny bit. However don't focus on this. Race people. This will be fun and will help you a lot. Without racing people you won't go your fastest. Because you don't know your fastest, if you race you push yourself more making you go faster than your opponent. So race a lot. Also don't give up if you don't see improvement. IT IS VERY HARD TO IMPROVE WITH RUNNING. JUST 1 SECOND IMPROVEMENT IS HUGE. So time yourself any improvement in running is huge it could be the difference from scoring a goal and getting tackled by your teammates or you guys losing. Also practice this with a ball.


        Abs


        You may think getting a six-pack is hard. You also think that this has nothing to do with Soccer. Well I'm going to prove you wrong. Ok, lets see what you already know.

        Diet


        This isn't a hard diet at all. First of all i will explain the three things that make people fat, not being active:not exercising,eating fast food;eating donuts like every day, and drinking coke/Pepsi.

        Well we can check the exercising off right. Now about eating fast food, come-on its not even good well i used to think it was good and here is how i overcame that. If you eat natural or organic foods which taste just as good as the other products. Stuff that has crap in it won't taste good anymore. So don't eat fast food its very simple.

        Leagues


        First you need to choose a league. Make sure the league is good for you before you sign up. Each one has a different reason to play. You also have to make sure you are playing at or around your level. If you need help finding a league you may use our League Finder or ask around. There may be flyers at school or in the mail and stuff. Here are the different levels of play:

        Rec- Rec is the level of play for younger kids if you are at a certain age you can either move up to academy or stay in rec. Most consider this the lowest level of play. However, there can be some good kids in rec who don't have enough money to play in select or academy. Or there parents won't pay the money because they think it is too much. Or if your parents don't want to spend the time. It pains me when good players are in rec because they will eventually even out because in rec the coaches are volunteers. If you want to play in high school and collage then you can not play in rec. However, in rec everyone should get even playing time and it is more about having fun then playing pro or winning.

        Academy- Academy is for younger players who want to play at a higher level with payed coaches etc. This is how most decide if they want to play select. In academy you try out for teams however the players are often moved around from team to team. If you make a lower team don't worry i have seen D team players move up all the way to Classic 1. If you practice and you are determined and try your best anything can happen.

        Classics/Select- Classics are your team rankings after you finish academy. The state decides where your at. Classic 1 is the best and Classic 5 or 6 is the worst. To move up in the classics you need to get in the top 2 or 1 depending on the decision by the state. You also can move down this way. Classic 1 or 2 and maybe 3 are teams full of kids wanting to play Soccer through high-school or beyond.

        State- If you win Classic 1 you can play other state teams. If you are on a state team you will be under a lot of pressure. Also at the end of the season new kids will try out and possible knock you off the team. However, kids playing on the state team get a looked at by high school and possible collage scouts.

        Gear


        soccer cleats- or turf shoes make sure your league allows cleats cause some don't at younger ages.


        shin-guards-you need these to protect your shins.

        SOCCER SOCKS-you need these long socks for the obvious reasons.

        SOCCER BALL-make sure it is the proper size for the age group. Usually 8-9 is a size four ball and 12-13 is a size 5 ball. Anything below that is a size three.

        WATER BOTTLE-for water.

        Buy all these gear at your local Soccer store.

        How to put on your gear


        First put your soccer socks on and pull them all the way up. They should be long.

        Next, pull up the top of your sock and put your shin-guards in each sock and fasten it. Note most shin-guards are slid-ons however some are not. If you don't have slid-ons then put on your shin-guards first then put on your socks over them.

        Third, put the part of your sock that is above your shin-guards over your sock.

        Next, move around shin-guard so it is covering your shin but you are comfortable.

        Finally, Put cleats/turf shoes on.

        Coaching


        The most important thing is having a good coach,make sure you do. A coach is everything if you have a bad coach switch leagues or look at other options. First, before you sign up with a league check out the coach. What type of coach is he?Here are the three most common types:


        Well-Rounded-the most common and best coach for coaching academy level these coaches no when to be mean and when to be nice.

        Tough- These coaches give you a tough love. If you get a compliment from one of these then you definitely deserve it. These coaches usually coach high level Soccer Select and above. They usually get the most out of there players if they don't burn them out and make them quit.

        Nice- These coaches are good for Rec players usually our players who just want to have fun and not make a career out of it.

        Make sure you know your coach and watch him coaching in games and stuff before you make a decision on your coach. Make sure you know your kid. If your kid breaks down and crys when he gets yelled at maybe a tough coach isn't good for him. However, note that the starting at U13 if you are playing at a high level most coaches will be tough but not all. Also if you are a coach or becoming one look at my coaches guide it will help you much. It is all the stuff i have learned over the years from coaches,coming soon to my website. If you need help on the rules of the game then look at the rules guide.

        Teammates


        Though this is hard to determine you need to make sure that your the teammates on the chosen team are nice and do not put people down for messing up in games etc. One of the main things that makes Soccer fun is having good teammates and making friends on the team.

        Well this abort raps it up look at my other guides there are many things in there for beginners too. If you have any questions about the basics of Soccer just comment below and i will answer them and add it to my guide. You can also email me at thecompletesoccerguide@yahoo.com



        ]]>        Injury Guidehttp://jakeo-soccer.wetpaint.com/page/Injury+Guidemarth5495http://jakeo-soccer.wetpaint.com/page/Injury+GuideFri, 30 May 2008 12:22:56 CDT
        Back to Mental Guides

        First off i would like to tell you that I'm not a doctor so i can't give you that sort of advice. However,i will help you on the mental part of injuries.



        First off don't get scared it is not the end of the world if you are out for 6 weeks or even a year.

        If you are out for a long time attend some practices they might not help that much but every little bit helps. I'm not saying if you practice 4 times a week that you need to go to every one. Just try to go to one or two. Besides, your coach will like you for supporting your team. Also being around the game will make you feel better in less you get mad and feel sorry for yourself.

        Come to every game if you can. Games will help you get better and you need to support your team. The Coach will also like you if you go to the games.

        I have an idea for your injury guide. Could you say that if you get hurt, you could use pre-wrap(available in most sports stores) and wrap it around the wound. Pre wrap isn't sticky, so then you can put tape over all the surface of the pre-wrap.[Soccer54321

        Play Soccer video games if you have a video game system. Of course they have to be realistic. No,playing Super Mario Strikers will not help you. If you don't have a Soccer game then you can always buy an old one like Fifa 2001 at a store for like 5 dollars. Or you can get an up to date one,but you don't have to. Also just dribbling through everyone won't help you if you have a game like that. The whole point is learning how to pass. I recommend Fifa World Cup 2006. If you don't have a system it's is not the end of the world.

        Listen to your Doctor, if he says not to play listen to him. Don't risk injuring it.

        Hang out with your teammates. Just because you are injured you are not part of the team.

        Read Soccer Books.

        Stretch for most injuries.

        Remember, don't disobey your doctor even if you think what your doing is fine. The doctor has a reason for you not doing that.

        Ask your doctor about rehab [ which is where you work-out to help your injury].

        This guide as with every other guide is not finished. What i consider finished is when i get some decent tips down. I will add more to this guide with the help of a doctor.

        This is what you have all been waiting for. Finally, the coach's guide is here: my masterpiece. This guide will change the life of soccer coaches forever! This guide will have games to help your players have fun and learn, coaching strategies, how to motivate your team, and much more.

        Coaching Tips


        First of all, keep it fun for the players.

        Make sure you are teaching to their age, which means don't have them do anything too hard for the age group you are teaching. If you don't teach to their age, it often leads to them getting confused, especially in games.

        If they do something wrong, try teaching with the "sandwich approach". This means, tell them what they did right, then tell them what they did wrong and explain how to do it right, then provide additional encouragement and positive reinforcement.

        Play lots of teaching games such as the ones shown later in this guide. This way they are having fun as they are learning, which leads to the players learning better, since they don't get bored.

        Discuss the team and individual goals at the beginning of the season and refer to them often. For example, have fun, get better, get exercise, make new friends, and learn about soccer. Also, if you are coaching an older group it is a good idea to ask everyone where they want soccer to take them [high school, college, pro, etc.].

        Encourage the team parents to cheer and offer encouragement during the games, but let the coaches coach and don't say anything negative or try to tell your child what to do.

        Make sure that fun and player development are the top priorities; rather than winning. Winning is fine, of course, however, it certainly shouldn't be the top priority, even if you are at a high level where you could move down a division.

        Teach good sportsmanship, whether they win or lose and always make sure they shake hands with the other players, coaches, and refs [no matter how mad you are at them]. Also, make sure you do the same, in order to set a good example.





        Drills


        Drills are a very important part of coaching so here is some very good ones to help your players improve and have fun.

        Corner Kicks


        Corner Ball- This is a simple drill that is fun and will help your players with corner kicks. First have everyone get in line to take a corner kick. Once they take a corner kick they run in and battle everyone else that has run in to score. And so on and so on.

        ]]>        Forward Guidehttp://jakeo-soccer.wetpaint.com/page/Forward+Guidemarth5495http://jakeo-soccer.wetpaint.com/page/Forward+GuideFri, 30 May 2008 11:54:18 CDT

        What is a Forward?


        A forward is is the person at the top of the field, the main goal scorer.

        Should i become a Forward?


        If you like to score a lot of goals forward is a good position because usually they score the most goals. Forwards are very fast so they can run onto long balls. They also are strong so they can barrel through the very crowded middle of the box. They usually are good at volleys and headers too so the other forward can cross it to them on fast breaks. However, you do not need to be all of these things. The most important are your shot and speed. To take me for example i am small and fast and currently, though i move around a lot, i start at forward. Forwards range from a lot of different things. However, every good forward has one thing in common, aggressiveness. Every forward must be aggressive to be successful whether it is pressuring defenders or bowling over two guys and scoring. So if you think you should be a forward answer these questions:

        Do i like to score?

        Do i have a good shot?

        Am i aggressive?

        Am i fast?

        Am i strong?

        Can i handle getting fouled over and over?

        Can i pressure the ball well?

        Am i good at making space with moves?

        Am i good at volleys/headers

        If you answered Yes to the majority of these questions then you could be a forward. If not please check out the other position guides

        What forwards Do


        Here is what forwards do for the most parts for 6 v 6 to 11 v 11

        6V 6- Usually there are three forwards. The forwards usually get it based up by the defenders and use each other to get a cross in.

        8 V 8- The forwards usually stay up and don't get back on defence often expert for corner kicks. They usually get played with a through ball and do one twos with each other if there are two forwards.

        11 V 11- Forwards almost never get back even on corner kicks. Forwards are played through but not as often as 8 V 8 the forwards usually make passes with stoppers/center mids. If they have space they turn and shoot and if not they do one twos/overlaps etc to get open or drop it to a center mid/stopper to shoot.


        What forwards do vary on coaches ask your coach for more help.

        Recommended Guides for Forwards


        Note that even if you play one position it is good to be well-rounded like for times when you need to do thinks that don't normally suit your position. So make sure to check out the other guides too.

        First off i would like to tell you that im not a docter so i can't give you that sort of advice. However,i will help you on the mental part of injurys.

        First off don't get scared it is not the end of the world if you are out for 6 weeks or even a year.

        If you are out for a long time attend some practices they might not help that much but every little bit helps. Im not saying if you practice 4 times a week that you need to go to every one. Just try to go to one or two. Besides, your coach will like you for sopporting your team.

        Come to every game if you can. Games will help you get better and you need to sopport your team. The Coach will also like you if you go to the games.

        Play Soccer videogames if you have a videogame system. Of course they have to be realistic. No,playing Super Mario Strikers will not help you. If you don't have a Soccer game then you can always buy an old one like Fifa 2001 at a store for like 5 dollars. Or you can get an up to date one,but you don't have to. Also just dribbling through everyone won't help you if you have a game like that. The whole point is learning how to pass. I reccomend Fifa World Cup 2006. If you don't have a system it's is not the end of the world.

        Listen to your docter, if he says not to play listen to him. Don't risk injuring it.

        Hang out with your teammates. Just becasue you are injured you are not part of the team.

        Read Soccer Books.

        Stretch for most injuries.

        Remember, don't diobay your doctor even if you think what your doing is fine. The docter has a reason for you not doing that.

        Ask your doctor about rehap [ which is where you work-out to help your injury].

        This guide as with every other guide is not finished. What i consider finished is when i get some decent tips down. I will add more to this guide with the help of a doctor.
