I was winger because i was fast, so i was trying to teach my son to be one (take ons, overlaps, underlaps, timing your run etc.) But he just naturally drifted to being a CDM, he has vision to control a game, able to spot a good pass and the accuracy to pull it off, good tackler and cut out danger before it happened, could also take on and beat players, he was so good in that position he'd regularly get called up to the year older teams. Then he got a new coach, who's son liked that position and wanted to play there, so he talked my son into being a Centre Back. it was a struggle for him at 1st to learn a new position but he's a good CB now, and still gets a good few assists, he doesn't hoof the ball up field, he has a cool head, looks for the foward pass, if its not on, he makes a simple pass. He seems happy as a CB now so its not too bad, but when they are winning games and the manager brings on another CB and pushes him up into Midfield again, he excels. He's a good CB but a natural CDM. i've never said anything to anyone (probably why im venting here), as i'm happy he is happy, but i hope to myself in the future he returns to midfield

This video helped me tons. Last year I played striker and my team scored over 100 goals (we probably should've been in the division higher but can't have two from the same club in division 1). I scored 7 goals in the season and got over 40 assists. My results and this video made me realise I was better at cam or cm. I've played 3 games this season and scored 6 goals, 2 assists, stopped 3 chances as last man when I drop to defend and have played lots of through balls that my teammates couldn't quite stick in the back of the net. My coach is now extremely reluctant to playing me anywhere else, since I make such a big impact to the game now. Thanks.

[@hassiebassie19]

Began as a rightback in a 433, but was mainly moving up and down the pitch so next year I was a right midfielder. Always trained hard and worked on both legs. Even during goal scoring exercises I did good so one day I curled a ball over the keeper in a training and suddenly people wanted me as a striker. Did my best but didn't like the waiting, so I dropped into midfield often. Then one day I became a box to box player and loved that! Defend when I can, attack when I can, sometimes shoot from distance and pass the ball to better teammates who can do better things with it. I just enjoyed it. Moments like getting the ball from my opponent, passing it to the striker who scored a goal will always be great memories. .

Then moments later, we were attacking and I would be standing on the other side helping the attackers. Sometimes I had assists, sometimes some goals. Famous box to box players are like Patrick Vieira, Yaya Toure, Kevin Strootman, Radja Nainggolan were box to box players.

I always played as a striker and was the captain of my team, I was very good at dribbling, taking on 2-3 defenders at a time and always being the person who scored the most goals. But my coach put my as a attacking mid fielder and I was clueless about what to do. One time I got so furious that when the ball came to me, I took on 4 players and took a shot from outside the box, wasn’t a goal, the keeper saved the goal. That was the only attempt of goal my team had in the entire match and we lost 4-0. Now imagine if I was a striker or even a winger, I could have scored at least 2 goals. Now my coach always puts me as a winger in friendly matches but, he didn’t when it was actually needed.

In my 2nd year I was the top scorer as a winger for the 'C team' using my pace and energy with reckless flair and desire to score. The next year I made the A team and was very excited to play. But I felt the world spun against me when I played CB and would do this for 5 to 6 seasons every year. However with this I developed understanding on attacking behaviours and skills while improving my physical workrate and defensive understanding. I have been placed now as second striker now and occasionally winger for the past 3 seasons now and although my before crazy pace has dropped every other attributes like dribbling, defending, passing you name it has created a more balance mature game for me which allows me to willingly play attack or defence of the same attitudes and a range of qualities thanks to coach's beliefs.

[@henryreturns1397]

It comes down to many factors too : - How good you are at adapting? Some players like in many positions or change them thru time like CR7 from Winger to Striker or Bale from left back to winger. Another big examples are like Messi from Right winger and “False 9” to Center Forward or CAM - Some players can play at multiple positions such as Mbappe on all fronts , Sergi Roberto back in 2016 played in 7 different positions (CM , RW , RB , CDM , LB , RM , LM) , Kimmich as RB or CM , and I could go on - Currently is all about how can you contribute for the team , examples of this is like Pep Guardiola having KDB , Bernardo Silva and Phil Foden playing CM , RW , LW , ST , CAM while doing defensive duties

[@gusglosson8391]

For me I've always wanted to be a goalkeeper but I've grown tired of my defense not helping so I've become a center back and my speed and defensive capabilities have really helped me so far and I've loved getting so much play time. I say that last part because my coach had chosen two keepers and that got me really aggravated because he made me sit on the bench half the game.

I would suggest you to play as a CDM . Being a winger / striker myself ; it was pretty hard to play as an CM but recently I have enjoyed playing as a CDM . This positions allows you to get the ball more from the back & if you have good range of passing ; this position would be well suited for you because you would be able to pick out passes from deep and occasionly join the attack because playing from deep allows you to have full view of the pitch and you can easily pick out spots to get into & maybe pop some bangers in from long range .

So thanks to those three I have played every position besides center/full back in the span of a year.

And also very importantly: *coaches. like. versatile. players.* hope this helped ;)

I moved to a different part of the country at around 13 so I joined a new team and was played as a RM for a few weeks, then my new coach moved me to a winger, saying that my dribbling and passing abilities would be much more useful in that position, and he was right, and I've been playing as a RW/LW ever since. Currently on 9 goals and 6 assists

Ive always wanted to be a RW from the age of 7. I started joining football clubs from about 9 and just couldnt fit in, so i ended up quiting. After getting back playing football in school from 14, i learned i was more a RB, i love to push up the pitch, but i loved to make tackles like a old skool CB. I play football every saturday with people in their 30s with my dad, and im one of the best players each week. Im only 16 and i think i can still improve, especially since my passing is getting better and ive been involved in an inverted wingback roll, pushing into CDM.

Love this topic. I was a strong player with tackles great at reading plays and position but I was great at making through balls so I was used as center midfielder, both defensive and attacking. Occasionally central defense and back up goalie.

[@waitasecond1099]

[@philipcallado5693]

For me I learned just by playing. I trained to be a forward at first because they get all the headlines, but I could never quite master the position at the higher levels, especially on the ball. But I’ve learned I’m much more valuable as a defender because I have good instincts, anticipation, range and toughness from playing American football. And while ball skills are still important, they’re not as critical as a defender or even a CDM, where it’s more about making good decisions than taking on defenders with a bunch of skill moves. So I play more center back and defensive mid. Kante and Makélélé are who I try to emulate, and some of Van Dijk as well.

Because of my speed, stamina, pressing, tackling and ball interception, I get to play in multiple positions. I used to play as a forward, then a winger, then a center-back, then a full-back, then a defensive midfielder. I agree that it depends on the team, the formation, the system, and the style of the team. If where I play helps the team and gets me minutes on the pitch, it is way better than being on the bench. At least I know my name is always gonna be on the team sheet.

[@satrn5496]

[@user-mp1xc3lo7t]

My football journey is very simple. I started of as playing as a CM, I was playing decent at that time. But then a new player joined who was a CM too and our RW winger left that same season. My coach told me to play as the RW cuz he noticed how good my driblling and crossing is, and trust me I am doing very well right now. So listen to your coach.

[@michamarkowski2204]

When I was young, I often played with older boys so in most cases I was a GK or CB. Playing with older boys helped me develop a lot. From behind you see more and playing against more mature, bigger opponents enhanced my physicality. In primary school I started as one of the weakiest players in my class, but when I became 12 or 13 I was already a good passer and a decent finisher. It was mostly thanks to playing with older boys from my neighbourhood. In high school I played mostly as a winger or a striker, although I wasn't the fastest on the pitch. My positional awareness, great passes, one-touch passes and shots with both legs and head were good enough for those positions. During my 20s I transitioned to more central role - DM/CM/AM and when the opponents were much better than my team, I played a defender disabling any player in my sector. In my 30s I played a lot as a RB/CB/LB and sometimes as a backup GK. A lot of players I played with love scoring, dribbling etc. For me passing and defending are the things I love in football. I want to be the guy with the assist or with the pass to the assist giver. I want to be the guy who reads well opponents' attack and destroys it rather sooner than later. That's why I love playing as a CB/DM.

[@DEDETheMenace]

I remember when I was playing for this club but they always put me in striker, left wing or midfield, but I always kept tackling the opposing team so I decided defense and play left back but the thing was…I wasn’t much of a runner so I became a goalkeeper and I was very happy of my choice 😊

[@reworekk6884]

I'm a attacking center midfielder, even though I wanted to be an attacker, my coach insisted and it turned out great!

[@dafiq0001]

I was a center defender once. It's because I love to make a lot of hard body contact with my opponent while I'm playing. Althought my physical is a bit smaller than my teammates but I glad that my coach still put his trust on me to be the last man in my team..on top of that, I also one of the scorer in my team too

[@mateberes7896]

I like this video because at first I wanted to be a ST but my coach knew that am good as a ST am fast and have a lot speed for a young age but my finishing but was so bad so I was LW/RW I was pretty good I had good skills to beat players and I was faster than most people. After a few matches I got use to my position and I quickly helped my team with about 3 assists per match. Also I have good leadership and good communication so I quickly got goals (taps in bc am bad at shooting at that time) and I was one of the best on my team and this video also showed me new stuff that I can learn and use.

[@franoi8901]

Im originally a winger of both sides but I like to play Center mid as well or attack mid cuz I’m very good at seeing the game. In fact playing CM helps me train myself to be an unpredictable winger. I Anticipate the game before the ball gets to my feet.

I have pretty solid stamina and i am fast so I played RB mostly in my career, even tho i wanted RW or ST but trainer decided to use me on RB as we had enough attackers. I could play 90 minutes with full sprints and used it as RWB which was rly fun running forward and beating opponenents LB/LM 😅 and yet, i enjoyed tackling!!

I really think I'd be a great upfield player... My passing, dribbling and shooting are pretty good and my own teammates have said they think I should play a more attacking position based on how they've seen me play during practice. but my coach always throws me at CB just because I'm big and can make a tackle. It's super frustrating being stuck at the back all the time when I know I can help more upfront :(

Back when I was 7 years old I had no interest in anything really but after one of my classmates saw how I aced every PE class without ever training and after making me play football in the break on the schoolyard he invited me to play football for his club and give it a try. When I arrived the coach was pleased by my natural athletic abilities and on my skills even though I was a complete novice. I was tested in what I could do the best and my shooting and speed were my key abilities. With that knowledge he trained me to play striker and from there I played that position for now 14 years for 3 clubs and was the league’s top scorer of all clubs in nearly every season. What I deem as important is who you strive to be and that you try to find the players best fitted for your inspiration. For me my coach told me to look up Ibrahimovic and Bergkamp and I looked for every aspect of their game that could help me become better and integrated it into my own playstyle. Being tall, fast and very flexible I really incorporate volleys and bicycle kicks as well as well as heel volleys etc to achieve a shooting ability that made nearly everything possible as long as I was inside or in close proximity to the penalty area and became a great goal poacher that never got much competition to my spot as the striker.
