Dylan Tooby I need your help these 3 guys are so good at soccer and im just decent at soccer. these 3 guys are great goalscorers and defenders. how can i beat them😐
I scared when the ball is coming fast in the air Im a forward who plays defender from time to time. i dont like the fast balls and hard balls coming towards me Im afraid it will hurt
Dylan I've watched this video countless times. My old coach kept bringing my confidence down always telling me I'm bad and he played me in the wrong position (I'm a CAM he played me at LB) I had the worst season of my life. Now I have moved and am going for my academy trials. This video helped me out so much thank you Dylan I'm a new player.
Icnacio Gilbert thats not a problem, i can play both, im a LM/LB, I played CAM last game and killed it. just thing of 3 things to do that are superior of that position, and play your best.
Finding a coach that you want to work for and doesn't bring you down is the best thing for a player. Im a winger but we were short on defenders and my coach put me at left back. I gave it my all because i wanted to impress the coach (i was 16 at the time playing in seniors). I played well and enjoyed the game because i had the confidence from my coach. I still play winger but i now have a better mentality towards football.
The same to me I'm a CAM and he plays me RB. My coach says "You play that position better" but I don't. Just tell him that you feel better playing CAM. I did it and it worked
With me I’m very good technically. I can do my job very well but when I play a full game 11v11 or 7v7 I never keep the ball and try dribble past players… I always pass rather than trying to take on the defender which im fully capable of doing. I play in the midfield
That’s what happens to me, Why:I’m going to a place where there are older guys than me every time and I’m too scared to play cuz I have that negative thinking but,I seen some videos about that today and I kinda got motivated so I will focus for tommorow and try to win an game and improve!
Thank you very much Dylan,i am 12 yrs old and when i was like 8/9 i was playing with confidence,but now i am scared because i am afraid that when i screw up my team mates will yell at me. ;) and after this video i am confidence ;) Thank you very much,and please can you tell what club do you love.I love Barcelona,not because of trophyes or Messi or Neymar or Ronaldinho.... I just found myself in there when i was like 7\8 and i will love Barcelona till i die.When i grow up i would like to play for Inter or Barcelona
Same I'm 11 and I scared that if I do mistake and that my teammates will blame me.. That is my Greatest Fear that I really fear.. I fear that my teammates and my soccer trainer will get angry with me..Thats why..
Official Ozuro i actually stopped playing soccer bcuz i was scared too make mistakes its kinda the same thing i mean if ur team mates pass u the ball that means they probably think u can do something with it so dont be scared if u make a bad pass or bad read all ur teammates does that just go out there and play have fun ;).
This is the one of the best soccer training channel out there. Apart from physical training this channel also talks about the psycological/mental aspects of the game. I have subscribed already and true follower of this channel.
TIP: PRACTICE BREEDS CONFIDENCE. I have struggled with playing scared since I started playing in middle school. My coaches and even teammates would always tell me that I have good skill but never play with confidence, which would hinder my performance on the field. Recently I've been committing myself to intense training and I've slowly seen improvement on my composure on the ball. I have come to the realization that practicing MAKES you a more confident player. If you practice a lot and master the skills that you need, you become confident in your ability to perform. Lack of confidence comes from a lack of belief in your ability. When you KNOW and believe that you have the ability to perform well, you have no reason to be scared. And always remember to chill out and feel the game with your feet as well as your head.
For me im scared of making mistakes cause i dont like getting shouted at it makes me feel like i cant do anything but when i play on the field i totally just freeze. Some of my teammates say thing that discourage me making me feel like i dont want to play. Listening to ur story made me feel better thank you
I m a winger and I always get sacred to header the ball or when someone kicks the ball. Thanks for the video it helped me a lot and gave me more confident
You right that’s the problem I’m having during games or practice I feel hesitant and I’m tryin my best to stop thinking all that negative but it keeps happening I know myself I’m a great player it just I’m scared a lot and thinking all that negative I need to stop that
Yesterday I saw your video and I discovered things I did not recognize in my mind. I finally managed to do it yesterday at night and got my first goal!!. I send you greetings from Mexico. Gracias.
Wow what an amazing video. People tell me I have skill, so I wouldn't want to let them down, and I think of what they would think of me if I messed up.. But i'm not even realizing that my mindset is making me play worse than I actually do.
The only thing you need to do to fix this is try using your chest it takes a leap of faith you’ll cough the fist few times but you’ll eventually get it
With me I’m very good technically. I can do my job very well but when I play a full game 11v11 or 7v7 I never keep the ball and try dribble past players… I always pass rather than trying to take on the defender which im fully capable of doing. I play in the midfield
@@marco7838 this will be up to you but you have to take the jump and try if you mess up try again even if you get benched you won’t get better if you keep your full potential to your self and when being a mid fielder your responsible for making the plays dribbling past the defender can be good for some situations but try to create a play rather scoring isn’t your main objective that’s up to the striker also for a midfielder try taking shots from outside the box and practice doing that free kicks will also be up to the mid fielders
I’m a 45 year old who played 7 a side for the first time in 15 years. I was back to being a scared freezing 11 year old on a full size pitch. Yes, I freaked out when I finally touched the ball. But slowly I forgot about being that 11 year old and became present in the moment. And I was lucky enough to have friends around me that played up my strengths. Still a bit anxious about our next match. So all this helps. Build on the small positives
I've been playing for almost a year now. When I first started, I had very bad confidence issues. I just built up my confidence by playing simple. Before that, I was always looking to make a super great pass, everything was forced. Now I play with the primary goal of keeping possession at all costs. Play simple, move the ball around, get touches in... your confidence will go up over time and you will be more forgiving of yourself
Awesome advice! When I was a kid my father enrolled me at a soccer school where the coach didn't teach the basics, I'd never played it before and i didn't like it much back then, needless to say i failed and he kept saying how bad i was at it, now i love soccer and i want to improve my skills but i still have this lack of confidence and fear because I got so criticized, but i am keeping on practicing.
Thanks for the help Dylan.This year I have only had 4 bad games this year and I've played 28 times and its all coz of your help. Only having 4 bad games this year is amazing for me as before Christmas I had 6 bad games in a row.
Could you do a video where you talk about how you should plan out your week. For example: Monday, shooting. Tuesday, dribbling.. Friday, leg day. PLEASE! You could maybe do a video for each day? Thanks : )
I would add that working hard to be in good physical shape improved my confidence in the game. It made me feel more prepared to play and made it easier to trust myself
Always at the beginning of the game I get too excited and sometimes lose the ball, And the legs feel weak and all the cardio-pulmonary endurance goes down and I start to gasp .. just towards the half I start to play better I will try your method thanks!

The feeling we get when we FEAR is basically your body sending electrical and Chemical reactions along with your resources, energy, blood, adrenaline to the big muscles of your body, in order to physically protect yourself. All it is, is a survival mechanism which the body can't tell the difference wether its fear of failing in a sport or fear of being face to face with a grizzly bear. If you receive a pass and you're in the fear state of mind, you just become stiff and all the skills you were able to do in your backyard are all gone. It's easy to overcome it, I just tell myself... if I mess up on this next play will I get shot? Will I be stoned to death? No... so why fear something so insignificant. Because in the end most of the times when you do fail, it's the result of you being afraid in the first place. Just play like pirlo lol, the man is cool calm collected. During every play he's composed without fear of anything. Just play in the present moment. It's impossible for fear to exist in the present moment.
Hey pogressive soccer, I did all the steps that you told me and it worked. I don’t get nervous anymore when I have the ball. But there is a problem with me. I am a defender and I am afraid of getting the ball when it’s on the air because I’m scared of getting injured. I got a little bit rid of this fear but it’s still sometimes on me so can you maybe give me some tips plz. Thanks.
Hey Dylan, how can I improve myself to know what is going on on the field,where my teammates are, where is the free space etc. rather than knowing only where the ball is? Thanks Dylan

Did you just decided by yourself that u r CAM c'mon. A coach knows better 💯💯🖕🏽
always worried imma make mistakes especially when playing with the older guys
I feel your pain
Everyone makes mistake bro eve the grown ups too
With me I’m very good technically. I can do my job very well but when I play a full game 11v11 or 7v7 I never keep the ball and try dribble past players… I always pass rather than trying to take on the defender which im fully capable of doing. I play in the midfield
Make the mistakes. That's how you learn. Everyone on the pitch was new once
That’s what happens to me, Why:I’m going to a place where there are older guys than me every time and I’m too scared to play cuz I have that negative thinking but,I seen some videos about that today and I kinda got motivated so I will focus for tommorow and try to win an game and improve!
This Will surely boost your confidence and you can do things you didn't even think you could do. Thanks again Dylan.
That the truest thing I’ve ever heard. Every game I have I worry about what I’m going to do wrong or what my teammates are going to say
Yeah man it's true

If you want to be in Barcelona I would recommend you go to ajax academy it's perfect
