    Asking about a team mates football boots is a good conversation starter.

    Confidence Tips:( in new team)
    1. Greet everyone before training
    2.stand up straight + eye contact
    3. Start a casual conversation in locker room
    4.hop straight into pre-training rondo
    5.ask to join passing or two touch
    Before training session.
    6. Confidently ask for the ball
    7. Repeat same action after a mistake
    8. Take feedback with confidence:
    Look in the eyes and say got it!
    9. Dont be the first one off the field.
    10. Start up a casual conversation after session.
    And the most important train more. More than everyone and you will be 100% confident player. Everyday become better than you was yesterday confidence will actualy come

    CANNOT emphasize enough how true this is. I'm someone that usually doesn't talk much but I'll walk into rondos knowing I got this shit. I got called out by a teammate in training for playing a risky backheel pass in defence. But it worked out. CONFIDENCE. I did the fancy stuff again. I had a good session. No one said a thing after I pulled off risky moves while it worked. They'd play the ball into me even when I demanded it in risky spots. I have the confidence to wriggle out. If I fail? I'll do it again, while obviously being aware and sensible. This is one thing you learn from players like Neymar. They'll lose the ball, come back up like nothing happened, win the game.

      Soccer is simple, dudes who play scared simply don’t understand the game enough
      Confidence is the side effect of experience
      The most confident man in the world won’t be confident in a soccer game cause he doesn’t have experience

    I understand exactly what your saying. I have that problem that when I mess up, I don’t want to make that mistake again so I maybe don’t show for the ball. But instead I should get on with it and try it again to further improve myself. Another great vid!

    Today is my first day of training for my college team. There’s no coincidence that I stumbled on this video at this exact moment, hours before we get on the pitch. Thank you for a fantastic video. I’m definitely going to be way more confident and try and change my mentality. I’ve always been that kid who “goes back in there shell”, so I’m going to be more outgoing and use different body language to demand the ball. Great video again!

    Really needed this, Ive had a really rough time with trials and I have been leaving every trial knowing I am better and should have done better and I dont get on the teams ive wanted to and think i deserve to. I totally relate to shying away, I wont call for the ball, and when im on the ball i play too safe. I always try to move on from things in tryouts but its really hard those mistakes really eat at you if you let them, especially for me where i set pretty unrealistic standards for myself. But next trial I will make sure that when I make a mistake to move on like nothing happened and go to the next play.
