I was bullied by my teacher, and it made me very shocked, lost confidence, and I had no more enthusiasm to be a professional player. But after I watch this video, I became aware that bullying could be an encouragement for me to be better, and continue to fight to become a professional player. Thank you Unisport.

I've always told myself that there's no need to be scared if you know you're good enough. Often, as harsh as it sounds, those with mentality issues are often those who struggle to accept that they're just not good enough - and want a surefire solution to eradicate their mental blockage without putting the hours required to do that on the training ground. Confidence is only attained through skill becoming instinctual. That's my take on it at least.

[@besrv4971]

Honestly I'm usually always scared b4 my training as well because I'm always TERRIFIED of getting shouted at by my coach and making mistakes and letting my team down and that is the main reason why I usually play very safe and don't take risks anymore. And even tho I tell myself that I should enjoy the football and training process because I'm doing something I love, I eventually become scared and stiff again and I really hope yo overcome this soon. I hope to be able to play without fear of get told off or scolded by my coaches because its all part and parcel of playing football and it is an experience which no one can run away from. As a result of this, I'm working on building my courage so that I can give it my all out there and show my coaches what I'm really made of. Whatever happens, it's always okay to be scared or fearful but it's what you do with that fear is what matters. Eventually, you are going to have to showcase your skills and talent. SO CHANNEL YOUR FEAR GUYS. CHANNEL IT TO MOTIVATE YOU. CHANNEL IT TO GETTING PAST YOUR MOST FEARED DEFENDER. CHANNEL IT TO TACKLING YOUR STRIKER AND CHANNEL IT TO DIVING YOUR BUTTS OFF TO STOP THAT MISSILE SHOT AND CHANNEL IT TO WINN!!!!!

I have never played a 90 minute game of football before and I have my first game on Sunday! I suffer with social anxiety and I am trying to force myself into uncomfortable situations like this weekend! I took the plunge last week and signed up with a local team, I'm playing CB as I thought it would mean less running 😂 Any advice would be appreciated guys, it's mainly my stamina I'm worried about! I have played before but never competitively! And the last time I played I sprained my ankle 😭

[@creecree4983]

Keep things simple and be aware of your surroundings. Communicate with your team mates in game or even talk to them to get comfortable. Stamina is going to come with training and playing each game, hopefully you will have time to rest between each play. Can probably walk or jog when not involved in a play. Keep your head up, don't too much about making a mistake, you can learn from them to get better.

Yes this is big I used to have this problem when my team would play against certain teams that were veery good or individuals. I would always get scared and screw up. My teammates would always yell at me and etc. My coach would get mad me. I started working on these things and since then I've become a much better, confident and overall better player. My mental, emotional and physical health since then has increased tremendously. My tip is to not worry about messing up and just work hard, be a good teammate and the most important people thing to forget when they plat soccer. They are so nervous and anxious to mess up. They forget to have fun! It is very important to enjoy what you do! Thanks for reading this comment and have a amazing day ❤. You got this and don't give up 👍💯🏆🐐

[@raidzldn8873]

I used to be in the school football team in primary school and I normally played outfield but for one year there was no goalkeeper and I was a decent goalie so I decided to play there. Every match, I wished I never chose to play there because my team mates constantly shouted at me for not saving shots when they couldn’t defend and the pitch was just a five a side Astro so if someone shot on the edge of the box it was hard to save. I did really well though and saved them because with another person in goal we could have lost about 15-2 but thankfully it was only 5-2 . Not too bad I guess for a school team that barely practiced.
