<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">As we mentioned before, the most grueling part of hitting the field during a soccer game
is the fact that you are never going to have the opportunity to rest. As long as the ball is in play
you are going to need to be active at any given point in time, helping your teammates to move
the ball into your goal while at the same time keeping it away from the other team. In most other
sports you would have the opportunity to rest after one of the teams scored as they retake their
position on the playing field. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Although you will do this while playing soccer as well, the break
you are going to be able to get is going to be brief enough that you are going to think it never
even happened by the time you are once again moving down the field listening to your muscles
scream at you in protest.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Fortunately, if you have a couple of weeks at your disposal you can quickly build up your
endurance so that keeping up with the constant pace of the field does not leave you feeling like something vaguely resembling yesterday’s garbage. Since the foundation of the game is based upon your ability to run<br />
it is your running skills that you are going to need to focus on. The average soccer player runs five to six miles during the course of a game at an average speed of four to six miles per hour. (The average is<br />
approximately the same speed as would be exerted by a strong power walker; however, bear in mind that this is an average, not an exact number. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rWRJQF6auto" width="560"></iframe></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">You will not be running at a steady four mile per hour pace; rather, you will have moments of running full out interspersed with periods of movement at a mild lope.) In
order for you to be able to keep up out on the field you are going to need to be capable of
traveling five to six miles at a consistent pace to be fit enough to keep up with the stop and go
traffic accompanying the ball. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">We have already harped on the necessity of a proper workout routine and the dangers of a
sedentary lifestyle, so there is no sense going into a great amount of detail concerning this topic.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Suffice it to say that in order for it to be able to operate as
efficiently as possible and continue to grow in strength,
endurance and flexibility it is necessary for the body to be
exercised at least once a day, preferably for thirty minutes to
an hour. Try to establish a regular exercise routine you can
live with; over-exerting yourself is going to result in both an
unwillingness to continue on (and who can blame you when
you are pushing yourself far beyond your capabilities?) and </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">the need for an extended period of rest between workouts while the body recovers from the
damage inflicted upon it.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">In addition, try to regularly “shake up” your daily exercise routine. Although exercising
every day is both healthy and necessary, doing the exact same thing every day will result in both
you and your body becoming bored with it, which means that you are going to be less likely to
workout and your body will receive fewer benefits when you do. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/rWRJQF6auto" width="560"></iframe></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Throw in a little variety; go </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">bicycling one day and ice skating the next, then take the following day off from your
cardiovascular routine to pay a visit to the weight room. This way you’re never at a loss for
things to do and you and your body will be able to anticipate your workout with as much
enjoyment as possible. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Now that we have discussed your fitness regime, let us take a moment to evaluate your
eating habits as well. If you have ever attempted to lose weight you are well aware that getting </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">enough exercise is only half the battle to getting your body in tip
top shape; you must take your diet into consideration as well if you
hope to achieve maximum results. The same can be said of
preparing your body for soccer; the foods you eat are just as
important in getting your body prepared as the amount of exercise
you participate in. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">The foods you should avoid are very simple, and
they have probably been drilled into you since childhood. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Try to
steer clear of:
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Foods that are high in fat
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Empty calories-foods with a high caloric content that do not
really provide your body with much nutrition, such as butter
and white bread.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Junk food-Unfortunately, if you are going to attempt to turn your body into a machine on
the soccer field there are some things which are going to have to be sacrificed, and your
sugar addiction is among them. Chocolate, ice cream, fruity candies, Twinkies, pies,
cakes and anything else that falls into this category should be avoided as strenuously as
possible. Potato chips and other greasy, salty snacks fall into this category as well. As a
general rule, if you’re dying for a snack while you’re in training take the time to reach for
some vegetables. They are easily metabolized by the body and provide a much more
nutritious “munchies” than their high calorie counterparts.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Fast food. Any type of fast food, regardless of how nutritious it is purported to be, is not
going to be nearly as good for you as the real thing. It may take you a little longer at night
to complete your nightly routine, but in the end it the rewards will be worth the effort.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Foods which have been processed or fried, or contain a vast number of ingredients other
than those at its core. You want to keep your diet as pure as is possible in today’s society.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Foods which have sugar listed as its primary ingredient, and this does not necessarily
apply solely to cookies and candies. This includes items such as high fructose corn syrup, </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">galactose, maltose...anything with an –ose on the end is probably some form of sugar.
Manufacturers often use these ingredients in their preservatives, artificial flavorings and
gels. Read the label if you are unsure if a product has a high sugar content.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 11">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Foods which have been cooked in oil. Many oils are high in trans-fats, which are
extraordinarily bad for you and are going to negatively impact your quest to get into
shape.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/gTpgEb6L98o" width="560"></iframe></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Sugary drinks, such as juice and soda. These are essentially empty calories, and the sugar
you are consuming will only serve to make you even thirstier.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Although you are probably lamenting the loss of some of your favorite foods after
reading through the list above, don’t lose heart; there are still plenty of things on the “approved”
list, and once you have gotten yourself in shape and broken the addiction to those unhealthy
items which shall not be named you can reintroduce them into your diet in very small quantities
(for example, a single chocolate chip cookie probably isn’t going to hurt you, but eating an entire
pack isn’t going to do you any good). </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;">I got all of my players diet ideas from this </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><a href="http://8996ado4gf-30z33uhgnt3p0t5.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SOC3" target="_blank">ebook</a>.

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Moving on from the build-up of your arms and legs, you are also going to want to ensure
that your body is receiving a full cardiovascular workout on a regular basis in order to help the
body to receive and process oxygen through its various systems as efficiently as possible during
periods of high activity. The good news is that there are numerous activities in which you can
participate that are considered to be primarily cardiovascular in nature and are extremely
enjoyable; in fact, for many of them you do not even have to tell your mind that it is exercising!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Before we get to the list, however, let us briefly touch on precisely how often you should
give your body a cardiovascular workout, simply because once you read down through the list
you are probably going to be wondering to yourself exactly why it is that a special section should
be made just for cardio- workouts. Quite simply put, although running every day will provide an adequate workout your body will quickly become bored with the activity, and it will cease to have such a strong effect on the systems. If you were attempting to lose weight this would result in a decreased number of calories being burned; since you are attempting to shore up your cardiovascular system the end result is that the<br />
system eventually reaches equilibrium, the point at which the exercise no longer has any effect on it. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Since you want your cardiovascular system to continue to grow in efficiency you need to stir the pot up a little bit by throwing in an extra half hour of exercise three days a week on top of running on a daily basis. Remember, you don’t just want to be fit enough to play soccer, you want to be fit
enough to play soccer well.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<br />
<ul>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Cardiovascular exercises recommended for athletes by physicians are: </span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Running/jogging</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Walking</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Swimming (this will provide you with a fabulous full body workout,
helping to tone the muscles in the arms and legs as well as build up
cardiovascular strength)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Riding a bike (this is strongly recommended in conjunction with regular
training runs for cross-country and triathlon athletes, as it serves to build
up the thigh and calf muscles)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Horseback riding</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Skiing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Playing a sport (such as soccer, basketball or tennis)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Skating (either ice or
roller)</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Aerobics</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Dancing</span></li>
<li><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">Karate</span></li>

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">You do not necessarily have to stick to this list; this is just to get you started. As a general
rule, if there is any activity that you do that causes your heart rate to rise and you to break a </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">sweat it is probably cardiovascular in nature and will have a positive effect on your system,
resulting in increased efficiency and a higher level of fitness. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Along with dribbling, passing is going to be the single most important skill you will need
to master in order to succeed at soccer. Out on the field a team’s strength lies in its ability to
present to the other team a single united front; the offense is nothing without the defense there to
back them up if the other team breaks through their line, and the defense can’t do very much
without the offense there to help them move the ball out of their territory as quickly as possible.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Since teamwork is such a vital part of soccer success there is
going to be no room for showboating out on the field; one
single person is not going to be guaranteed to be able to take
the ball into the goal at any given point in time. You are going
to have to be able to work with your teammates.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">You are probably sitting there thinking, “What’s so hard
about kicking a ball to someone else?” The difficulty with
proper passing is not getting it to the other person, it’s
maintaining control of the ball so that it goes precisely where
you want it to go. Picture this: You are standing on the field,
you have control of the ball and you are headed for your goal.
The next thing you know you are rushed by four members of
the opposing team. You need to get rid of the ball and you need
to do it quickly; however, you can barely make out the other
players on your team. You hear a shout, and a quick glance to </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">the diagonal off of your shoulder reveals one of your own open and ready to receive the pass.
The only problem with this picture is that you are going to have to slide it past two of their
defense.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">In this situation, which is going to be all too common when you get out on the field, you
are going to have to hit a very small target while ensuring that the ball is traveling along a clean,
smooth path at a speed high enough to ensure that it will be out of your custody before the other </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">team has time to register what you have done-and you are going to have to do all of this while
simultaneously running down the field, dribbling the ball and dodging your opponents.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Fortunately, the fact that you are already dribbling means that you are in the perfect
position to pass the ball. Since you are already dribbling the ball off of your instep anyway, you
always want to pass using your instep as well. Again, using the top of your foot will give you a
little more distance, but your instep provides you with more control. You will be able to target
your teammate and pass the ball without ever having to relinquish control.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/pRZ-2MOEivM" width="560"></iframe></span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">When you practice passing at home be sure that you are practicing using the proper form.
Choose a target off of any angle of your body and use the instep of the opposite foot to propel the
ball. For example, if you were attempting to make a pass to a teammate who was at an immediate
diagonal to your right as you were in the example above you would use the instep of your left foot to make the<br />
pass. If your teammate is directly to your left you would use the instep of your right foot to slide the ball on over. Using the opposing foot allows you to maintain your balance and your forward propulsion while making the pass, which will allow you to keep control of the ball at all times until it leaves your possession and may temporarily disorient the opposition focusing on you. </span><br />

As we mentioned before, using your hands is completely off limits when you’re playing soccer; however, that is quite literally the only part of your body that you are not allowed to use. With that in mind we’ll give you a brief introduction to the use of your chest and head when you are playing the game.<br />
<br />
Using your chest to block the ball is a simple matter. As you might imagine, you use your chest to block balls that are coming at you at too great a height to get a hold of with your knees but not quite high enough to hit with your head, and it is a great way to divert what would otherwise be a penalty for touching the ball with your hands (every once in a while the ball comes at you at just such an angle that you virtually have no choice). Simply spread your arms wide to the sides in the same manner as you would if you were being searched by a police officer to
ensure that they are safely out of the way and center your
chest around the ball.<br />
<br />
It is vitally important that when you are taking a
ball to the chest you place it appropriately. The proper
place to stop a soccer ball with your chest is smack dab in
the middle of the breastbone. Ladies, this is approximately
where the uppermost portion of your cleavage is, and if you
want to prevent a great deal of discomfort you’ll be sure
that you place the ball appropriately. This is equally
important for both sexes, however; at the bottom of your
breast bone you have a tiny extension of bone known as the
xiphoid process, and although this bone has generally
hardened by the time you reach adulthood it is still far
more easily damaged that the rest of your sternum. A well placed ball or a poorly placed kick could result in this bone fracturing off and puncturing a lung, so it is essential that you ensure this is not the part of your body you are willingly offering up for target practice.<br />
<br />
A chest block is precisely what it sounds like-a block. Its entire purpose is to stop the ball’s forward motion and restore it to your control (ideally the ball will drop down between your feet after it strikes your chest). A head block, on the other hand, serves to not only stop the forward motion of the ball but to send it on another trajectory as well. Ideally you would use your head to stop a ball that was flying

through the air at a level even to or higher than your forehead-attempting to squat down to get your head under a ball is possible, but generally not very comfortable.<br />
<br />
<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/aOi2_xeYHTQ" width="560"></iframe><br />
<br />
As with the chest block it is very important that you ensure that the ball connects with your head in just the right point. You want to hit it using the broad portion of your forehead between your eyes; any higher and you will not be able to use your neck muscles to connect with the ball and change its trajectory (the ball will simply bounce off the top of your head), any lower and you will find yourself sporting a bloody and possibly broken bone for the remainder of the day. The trick is to draw your neck back just slightly, then get your head moving forward before it meets the ball so that you can use the your forehead and the ball’s own momentum to change its course.<br />

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">If you are familiar with the game of soccer in any way, shape or form then you are fully
aware that much like basketball or football the game must be played within the designated
playing field. If the ball should happen to go out of the playing field it will automatically go to
the other team, who will have to right to throw the ball back into play. This is one of very few
exceptions to the “no-hands” rule of soccer, and it is a very valuable asset because it allows the
team that has control of the ball to determine exactly where it is going to go; they can completely
change the direction of the game by gaining custody of the ball and sending it back into their
territory.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Although you may have images dancing in your head of grabbing the ball in one hand
and hurling it down the field like an ancient Greek Olympian, the proper method of throwing a
soccer ball back into play is vastly different from the way you would throw any other ball. You
hold the ball in both hands, fingertips in the middle and palms facing out, draw it back behind
your head and then give it a two handed toss to your nearest available teammate. Be aware that,
much like in basketball, you are going to have a member of the opposing team directly in your
face while you are attempting to throw the ball; however, as they are not allowed to use their
hands (and will actually earn a penalty if one of their hands happens to come into contact with </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">the ball while attempting to block your throw) you stand a very good chance of making contact
with one of your own.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">The key element to a successful throw in is power. Although they cannot use their hands
the opposing team has no other limitations on the methods they can use to gain control of the
ball, and so you are going to have to make sure that the ball goes up in the air, yet too high to
successfully block it with their chest and too low to make a reasonable attempt at blocking it
with their head. You are also going to want to put some “oomph” on it; throwing a soccer ball is
not as easy as you would think, and if you are attempting to get it to travel long distances you’re
going to need to be able to put some muscle behind it (another reason to hit the gym to work on
your arm muscles regularly). </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Okay, this is probably not a skill you are going to have to spend a great deal of time
learning to master. Chances are that at some point in your misspent youth you managed to drop-
kick a ball off of your front porch onto the roof of your house (or through the neighbor’s back
window) and therefore have already had some experience. If you have not, this skill is also a </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">relatively easy one to master; however, if you should ever find yourself in the position of
guarding the goal it is going to be vital that you know how to properly place your drop kick to
ensure that it is in prime position for your team to pick it up and carry it back down the field.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
</div>
<div class="page" title="Page 18">
<div class="layoutArea">
<div class="column">
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">The single most important thing you need to know about drop kicking is that you need to
ensure that the ball connects with the top of your foot, near the toes but not on top of the toes.
That will enable it to have the strongest forward momentum while at the same time attaining
some height. Precisely how much height is directly relevant to where the ball is when it meets
your foot; kicking the ball closer to the ground will result in more forward momentum but not as
much height, while kicking the ball nearer to the waist will give you plenty of height but not a </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">great deal of momentum. The trick is to learn to place your kicks, so you
are going to want to give this a try at several angles to determine
precisely how much distance you can get from each connecting position.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">That said, as a general rule you are going to want to make your
drop kick at an approximate 45 degree angle from the ground,
approximately level with your knee. That allows you to get a fairly
decent forward thrust on the ball while at the same time controlling its
height and trajectory. If the two paragraphs you just read make you feel
as though you are reading Greek don’t worry; once you actually start
putting some of these basic skills into practice it will all make perfect
sense. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">All right, obviously you can’t learn all that you need to know about playing soccer here;
we would be here all day! So we’ll make this your last lesson in elementary soccer maneuvers.
Sometimes you will need to make a pass or change direction and there will be no easy way to do
so using the instep of your foot; you will have to leave the ball exposed and vulnerable this way,
opening the door for the other team to come in and take control. Since the name of the game in
soccer is to keep control of your ball at all costs this is obviously something you wan</span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">t to avoid;
</span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">therefore, what you are going to want to do is what is known as a cross-over move.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">This move is precisely what it sounds like. What you are going to do is stop your forwa</span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">rd
</span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">momentum, bring the foot on the side of the direction that you want the ball to go across your
other foot and give the ball a tap with the outside </span><span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">of your foot. Now, instead of using your instep </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">to push the ball forward you are using the
exterior portion of your foot to push the ball
sideways, and since your leg will be directly
in front of it the ball will be protected from
your competition. Again, the major risk in th</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">is
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">move is losing your balance and falling (</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">in a
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">most undignified manner) on the field at your
opponents’ feet and getting a cleat to the nos</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">e
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">for your trouble, so it would be a very good
idea to be sure that you have perfected this
</span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">move before you take it out onto the field. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Of course, all of this is fine if you happen to be passing to someone who is ahead of you
or directly even with you, but what do you do when you need to pass behind you? This situation
will happen quite frequently on the field, particularly if you happen to be charging into a solid
wall of opposition with your teammates flanking out behind you. Passing in this situation is
considerably more difficult than its more straightforward counterpart; however, it can be done.
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">To pass a ball backwards, simply step over the ball and kick it using the heel of your foot
to drop it back behind you. This is going to be a move that you are going to need to practice a
great deal, because keeping your balance while performing the short stop and reverse kick that
you are going to need is very difficult. If you are not careful you will wind up sitting crosslegged
in the middle of the field with absolutely no idea how you got there. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Prior to making your kick be
sure that all of your weight has been shifted and balanced onto your other foot, which should be </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">positioned in front of its side of the ball in order to help you maintain control and protect the ball
from your opposition; it may help to practice sprinting down the field (or across your lawn) and
then making a sudden stop and performing a reverse kick. Once you get the hang of it,
performing this move at high velocities will be a piece of cake. </span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Dribbling is the fundamental method of moving the soccer ball from one end of the field
to the other, and you will spend more time on the field dribbling the ball than you will doing
virtually anything else. Obviously, this is a skill you are going to need to develop veeeeeeeery
carefully. Dribbling a soccer ball is much more difficult than dribbling a basketball by simple
virtue of the fact that you are not allowed to use your hands. You are therefore going to need to
maintain perfect control of the ball using only your feet while running as quickly as possible,
keeping an eye out for members of the opposing team and scouting for your own teammates so
that you know where to pass the ball to should you need to do so. Obviously, this means that you
are not going to have a great deal of attention to spare for your dribbling technique!
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Fortunately, dribbling competently is an easy skill to master. All you need is a regulation
sized soccer ball, an open field and a little bit of time. The trick is to tap the ball from one foot to
the other using your instep so that you essentially are keeping the ball in between your legs as
you travel down the field; pushing the ball too far ahead of you will result in the ball being free
and available for any member of the opposing team that happens to feel like picking it up, while
not pushing it far enough of you will inevitably trip you up and cause the ball to drop back </span><span style="font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 12pt;">behind you. Attempt to only push the ball as far
forward as your running stride; this will prepare you
for when you are stuck in a pack of players. If you
happen to be moving down a relatively free field you
are going to be able to send the ball a little farther
forward; however, kicking the ball out in front of you
is the easy part.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">Again, be sure to focus on only allowing your
instep to touch the ball while you are dribbling. It is
</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">often very tempting to allow the front of your foot to connect, as this is the part that is most
readily available when you are running; however, kicking the ball with the front or top of your
foot will only serve to push it out of your reach. You will have virtually no control over where it
goes or what it does.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">As learning to run while dribbling a ball between your insteps can be an
interesting and generally undignified event, it is best if you initially practice this skill when you
do not have an audience; that way, when you are in front of your peers you will be able to
display at least a little bit of competence and save yourself from the inevitable ribbing that comes
along with displaying any lack of proficiency on the playing field. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: 'TimesNewRomanPSMT'; font-size: 12.000000pt;">I got all of my dribbling drills from this </span><span style="background-color: white; font-family: TimesNewRomanPSMT; font-size: 16px; line-height: 22px;"><a href="http://8996ado4gf-30z33uhgnt3p0t5.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SOC3" target="_blank">ebook</a>.

<b>1. Drills are dead!</b><br />
First off for the coaches let me clarify what I mean as a “drill”. If you have players standing around waiting for their turn to play you are just flat out wasting training time plain and simple. If you are working on offensive strategies then make sure your defense is off working on defensive strategies as well. <a href="http://8996ado4gf-30z33uhgnt3p0t5.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SOC3" target="_blank">read more... </a><br />
<br />
<b>2. </b><b>Soccer Training is 90% mental.</b><br />
Now this may come as a big shock to you but let’s think about the 9 seconds you have the ball on average per game. What are you doing the rest of the game. You are supporting, helping other players defend certain spaces of the field, and you are making runs into space. What do all these have in common? <a href="http://8996ado4gf-30z33uhgnt3p0t5.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SOC3" target="_blank">read more...</a><br />
<br />
<b>3. </b><b>Soccer Practice versus Individual Practice.</b><br />
While practice is great for team building and team chemistry, you have to make sure that you or your players are practicing individually if you want to sky-rocket their abilities to the next level. Think of soccer practice as a time to put all your individual efforts to use and get them game ready for game situation. I saw my soccer skills literally explode over the off season when I decided to do my own individual soccer training rather than join another club team. <a href="http://8996ado4gf-30z33uhgnt3p0t5.hop.clickbank.net/?tid=SOC3" target="_blank">read more...</a><br />
