This is going to seem strange, but if I try to play safe, simple football I play much worse and make more mistakes than by using skills and risky or more difficult techniques. Example, I have more chance of scoring with a Rabona chip than a simple laces shot, I think it's probably just because some players play better when they're not thinking about the game and let their instincts guide them

[@cuzwereb0red]

@Lezzyy when you panic what you should do is that start feeling your senses look here and there, smell the air, what's the flavour in your tounge?, are you warm, cold, normal or sweaty? Hear the things around you. We panic bcz either we failed in past aur afraid of failing these things brings you to the present.

I am a kid and make a lot of mistakes like these. Maybe for me confidence is what I do not show and that is why I lose the ball

[@christianvelluto8436]

To avoid losing the ball • Head-scan all the time • Play simple football when necessary • Know your strengths (e.g. 1v1s past a defender) •Be composed and confident on the ball. Hope this helped bro.

[@surekhasangade455]

Same mine also

[@fewik8567]

Losing the ball may not just be up to you, your team could be in bad positions leaving you few passing options, and you might trying to do too much or your a one trick pony, if you don't have an arsenal of skills you can use to be unpredictable, just play simple balls and occasionally the dribble ect

[@binhhanhtd99]

Don't be. Try playing with your friends where everyone can well, in my language, f**k around (don't say things I said aight) don't take that game serious and focus on having fun, the easiest way is performing skills crosses and trick-shots. Or, ask them to play panna or futsal with you. That's how I built my confident. Also like @christian velluto stated, head-scan the field all the time, it's really crucial, especially if you're a midfielder. Good luck.

[@michaelfallon6382]

As a tip for anyone of any age starting football: MOVE. YOUR. ARMS. I cannot stress how crucial this is. If your kicking without moving your arms you won't be able to get your body behind it, making the pass/shot inaccurate/powerless. If you're running at defence or at an attacker and you need to keep them off the ball you need to hold them back with your arm. If they go down there's nothing you can do about it, they're a diver and it only proves you're better than them. Not moving your arms is one of the worst mistakes you can make.

[@SK-se7ox]

[@floridanelms6206]

I'm one of the bigger kids on my team (U15) and I swear half of my teammates don't do this and consistently lose the ball to equal/bigger sized opponents just bc they were fearful to body them. very good point.

Tips for improving decision making as a midfielder

[@dreamer-wb2jt]

Yeah...want that too

[@jadentorres7437]

Check your shoulders, always look around the pitch when you don’t have the ball, players like KDB and Lampard and David Silva are masters at this, if you can do that than your decision making improves tremendously

[@upthereds8259]

Keep your head up when dribbling. Glance down at the ball but spend more time looking up and around so you can find a pass or space that you can run into.

[@dreamer-wb2jt]

@@jadentorres7437 thanks man

[@anotherwowman]

Like all these guys said, constantly look up when you know where the ball is first. Then there on you can make what you think the right decision is after spotting all your teammates and, the opposition's players. This is so simple yet, it's hard to do because you aren't confident on the ball most of the time and pressuring defenders just makes it hard for you to look for teammates. If you have that cool then this is something not that hard to do. If you don't, well, work on it some way or the other then try developing something else onwards.

[@pooPbutwhole]

When i was playing for a u19 bundesliga team, my biggest mistake was to let myself get discouraged a lot, surrounding myself with those who didn‘t encourage me and i didn‘t work as hard as i should. Try to work on your confidence, work ethic and play A LOT.

[@MrJimmySA]

Hey Jay Mike! Thanks for the awesome tips! Still learning at 30! But have boot query for you! A question about the half-moon/semi-conical stud pattern on the Nemeziz 18.1. Does that pattern/shape create more traction for pushing OFF only? But less traction/stick than normal blades when turning/rotating? I'm returning from an ACL injury, and love the Nemeziz fit and feel, but don't want something too aggressive. Will these give a similar experience to FULL-conical studs in terms of turning/stepping? Do the half-moon part make any real difference or pose any overly-aggressive risk?

I have a rough history. You see when I was younger, I would spend the whole day outside practicing my football skills to improve. I enjoyed it, also being one of the best players in the club, I had a mix of rhonaldinio and Roberto firmino’s playstyle. Where I assist so many goals and when I score, it would be the spectacular goals. But when I was 11, I moved to a different city and I couldn’t practice for almost a year. When I finally found a club, which is fcb Barcelona’s accademy in Canada, I lost so many of my skills that I was bullied of trying to do something I didn’t know how to do. I left the academy at 12 years old, where I have no club right now. Just playing with my friends for fun. I miss playing competitive football, but I destroyed my career by moving to a different city, and the bullying made me depressed. Right now I’m 13, trying to save my career as a footballer, slowly regaining the strength thanks to these football tips. Thank you so much for these videos.

Fantastic list. If you are a young a player but already know the basics, I cannot stress enough how important training your weak foot is! Not only will it allow you to pass/ shoot/ control without having to adjust your body, but you will find that simply having the ball at your feet will feel a whole lot more natural. Then you can focus more on looking up and assessing your situation and surroundings. Train your weak foot!! Lol
