SimplySoccer hi idk if I should stay in my club in the top division where my main friend has left and I don't really have any proper friends in the team, or if I should move to the third division team he's moved to in which I think I will enjoy playing more. I would move to the new club but the only thing holding me back is that I'm 14 and if there's any chance of me getting scouted now, it's probably more likely to be in my current team. I can also always try something like UK football trials to get scouted.

[@mfsalgoritma3598]

Thanks

[@jakethewoz]

Another reason to shoot often- if you show early on in a game that you're not afraid to shoot (and hopefully shoot well), it makes the defenders more predictable. Since they know you want to shoot, it becomes a million times easier to sell them with a fake shot or stepover. They know they have to stop your shot, so use that to your advantage.

[@SimplySoccer]

Thanks mate!

[@youngvic814]

Hi brandao

[@Progalaxy34.]

I'm a midfielder but I'm looking to be a striker. Thanks for the tips! My strengths are movement and shooting. My weaknesses are the holdup play and confidence! Thanks again for the Tips!!

[@SimplySoccer]

You got it!

[@CJ-bf7cy]

I need to work on shooting whenever I can instead of worrying that I will miss or look selfish

[@mariopavlovic4918]

Hoodrixh go to some playground and practise but remeber you dont need very hardcore shoot to score.. ball must be just going in to the goal the speed is not first thing at the ball in the air..

[@emmanuelchristian1185]

Hoodrixh same here

[@aamiaht4932]

That’s the same problem for me

[@crazyrfx9793]

Aamiah T also composure helps a lot like picture it like this will I let my mind take over my actions or will I control my actions and not over think my shot

[@owenbishop2856]

I know Im always afraid people will think I'm a ball hog.

[@Eclipse0128]

Originally was a midfielder but was moved up as a striker, im new to this I only have about 3 goals in total none have been glamorous but I’m trying to be the best I can for my team as well as for myself. Thank you for the vid, it had helped me and I hope to implement this in my game.

[@mormusikoclockrecords8685]

I am a winger but my coach plays me as a striker. So most often I make my runs collecting the ball from the sides which I think I do better in, because already I have wingers abilities, but my coach hates it so much. He always tells me to stand in between the 2centre backs,and that's difficult for me because i am not that very much competitive in aerial balls.

[@richardbarnsley4657]

same I know how you feel

[@-mo_]

Me too I’m so mad because I’m a rw but my coach plays me ST

[@KieranBoyle__]

year late but maybe wrong team mate just think because he is your coach doesn't mean he knows you best! have a word with him or leave and tell your next manager you are a winger :)

[@babatunde3297]

I played 5 years in amateur leagues as a winger now is my second year as a Striker and i feel a lot more comfortable as striker because of the more space I have for my skill moves. Look this as an opportunity and try to use your winger abilities to your favour as striker :) btw dont worry for the airballs most good strikers are short and pacy not tall and big guys who collect airballs just look for the through balls not the hign ones

[@js-9763]

My old coach would put me in centre mid even tho im a striker because I have good runs shooting and possession. But thank God I got a new coach he see what I'm really good at. Being Striker

[@zzaz629]

Im strong in movement off the ball but weak in composure and panic too much

[@louisnguyen4411]

[@jabeju4392]

Me too but i guess just playing and try to shoot as much as possible

[@sizerthegamer6286]

so am i that is my fault

[@Tom-sb4lq]

for me personally how I worked on my composure was just thinking mentally I’m scoring also try to look we’re the keeper is so you can figure out we’re to place it

[@ricosam57]

this summer is my chance to work extra hard and be apart of my school's team,I'm counting on you to help me and keep me motivated,and my self of course. never give up, I'm a striker btw:)

[@SimplySoccer]

Gotta count on yourself mate. No one can make you do it. It's like the famous saying goes, you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink. Learn as much as you can, but make sure you are taking action!

[@WriggsFX]

[@daniellizotte6110]

Thanks for the video and the advice. Have been on a bit of a dry spell in terms of goals (3 games without a goal) but I am working at it. I would call myself a good defensive striker which impacts the game positively on the defensive end ( The difference in goals conceded when I play and when I don't is big.), and I am alright on the offensive end, but I lack that difference making abitlity in the final 3rd. Also, I just transitioned from playing goal keeper to striker around a year ago, so I am still working at it. My Strenghts: 1) Defensive work (I work hard off the ball), 2) Being a pest for the opposition defense I am always moving trying to get a goal scoring opportunity making runs. 3) Precision shooting 4) Finishing one on ones vs goal keeper (as long as their is no defender near me impacting my play) 5) Hold up play and being an outlet 6) Speed 7) Pressing (good at reading the play and trapping opposition players with my pressing) 8) Poacher (when the ball is near the ground and not whipped in off a cross) 9) Stamina My weeknesses: 1) Doing smart runs I do a lot of runs but have a hard time timing them sometimes 2) Shot Power 3) Beating players 1 v 1 (skill moves) 4) Finishing off croses (Hit the bar off a voley my last game) I have a hard time finishing when the ball is whiped in at high speeds even sometimes on the ground (timing) 5) Sometimes a bit too much of a team player And that is pretty much all I can think off for now, thanks for sharing these tips, I am sure they will help me improve :).

[@leonowski9]

I think you forgot the probably most important thing: Always stay alert, wait for mistakes and try to read situations. I've scored countless goals from shitty contacts of defenders who hit over the ball or made some failed and risky backpasses simply because I always gambled on them making mistakes. Especially in high pressure situations were a defender is forced to turn around and play the ball back to GK or a CB they tend to not look up and/or play a very weak pass which a striker can intercept if he stays alert. Another thing I'd suggest is to always monitor the GKs position. If you notice he's 25m in front of his own goal and you win the ball back high up the pitch, don't hesistate to try for a shot.

[@darich2042]

Lessons of History. Very nice.

[@SidewaysLyfe]

I rarely get the ball passed to me but I always make big plays when I do get the ball. So I wasn’t sure if it was my positioning being the reason I didn’t get the ball that much so I came to this video and this clarifies a lot for me. Time to find a new team I guess😂

[@visitexclusivebooking]

Excellent video. I have to share this with my son😊

[@jackhicks309]

I’m a Tottenham fan and I’m a striker so it was nice to replay Kane’s goals

[@soladis6707]

Thank you so much you don’t understand how much this has helped when I need football tips again I will come here and this has really boosted my confidence

[@batsumoto]

I am good at mind set and off the ball movements. being a target man is something I struggle with. Much more comfortable with making runs and trying to finish than building up the play and holding back. This video was helpful though. Thanks

[@OllieSMH]

I’m big and tall and well that means I’m not very good and running down defenders so it’s great to have lots of tips on hold up play and drawing fouls

[@Jojo-hy8dm]

This is a lifesaver. I'm a goalkeeper, but was recently in a meat slicer accident and had to get stitches on my finger. Unfortunately, I'm out for a week and a bit, no handling whatsoever. We're quite short on players for our game today, so my coach put me as a target striker. A target striker!😂 So I need a bit of help, because I haven't played out in 8 years, wish me luck!!

[@clashingwithnijl6376]

[@isaacebeling1715]

yes ive been waiting for this, 1st comment

[@imyourdigitalnightmare7571]

A piece of advice: try to practice shots a LOT, this will help your natural finishing(ability to finish without trying) also try to play a lot on a full size goal so when you play you know where the goal is and you can focus on the ball.

[@TheEzraGames]

Please make the next video about how to play as a defender or wingback

[@arnabdas5421]

Well as you asked for, my strongest trait is my mindset and ability of being selfish in scoring, and my weakest trait is intelligent playing. I really need to use my more intelligent instincts in match than the urges to dribble all by myself and try to score.

[@luyandamollaudzi3314]

@SimplySoccer thank you for giving me this amazing advice about doubting yourself🥺I still remember that day i was playing as a striker then i doubted myself and i didn't even enjoy the match😭i end up not scoring 😢💔😔

[@danielmclaughlin9039]

I used to be a goalkeeper but I never really enjoyed it because I didn’t get involved enough in the play. I asked my coach to change my position and I moved to striker. He put me at striker so that I wouldn’t have to track back as much and things like that because I hadn’t learned things like that yet. Later on after I started scoring goals and became good at the position. Now I’m not getting on as good and I don’t know why, but I feel like this video has helped me and I’ll find out if it has tomorrow for my game. ⚽️ 🥅

[@deshaunstevens6266]

I’m playing as a striker next year in college and I feel that my composure is excellent but I don’t have the finishing ability to put the ball in the net

[@SimplySoccer]

Composure is huge, now you need the skill (repetition) so you can put the ball into the net more times than not. There are many players that have great finishing ability, but panic when they get chances in matches which indicates a lack of composure. I would just have you practicing finishing in many different positions over and over again until you can do it automatically. Also, practice striking a ball against a wall over and over again until you can hit the ball cleanly 99 times out of 100. That will do wonders for your finishing.

[@Wilk32]

I’m the absolute opposite, I have the best finishing out of all my friends but my composure is not as up to standard

[@Hdidbi_3049]

I’ve been playing Centre back for 3 years but now suddenly my coach wants to put me striker. He said it’s because I originally started out as striker but we didn’t have enough defenders so he just put me there. The only thing is, my shots are really weak and when it comes to 1 on 1 I always shoot too soft:(

[@sayash_7]

I am weakest at finishing,, i van play much better but just,, due to teammates pressure i get confused , weather to pass or go solo,,, but i can say i am pretty good ,, not too good just good, at shooting,,, i can also go solo but,, everytime i miss the goalss ,, even open goalss,. I will work in this. Thanks a lot🙏🙏🙏
