You need to work on your type-2a muscle fibers. So this means working with weights doing between 15 to 20 repetitions per set, your final rep of each set should be very difficult. \n\nType-1 fibers are high endurance but have little strength and are more associated with long distance runners etc. Type-2b fibers only last for 10 seconds or so of all out exertion like a power lifter. Type-2a looses some of the strength of type-2b but acquire some of the endurance of type-1. Through training you can make each of the fibers begin to act like the others.\n\nSo I would get on a training program with high reps and also do 25 to 40 minutes of some kind of cardio training at least three times a week which will help you recover faster after and in between you sporting events.

Practice with the ball at least half an hour a day. You might want to consider hiring a personal trainer because they do help A LOT. You might also want to play with a bunch of people so you can practice your defensive stance, and technique attacking the ball....\n\nDon't attack the ball... have patience and shuffle backwards... that way you are slowing down the play, and giving your team mates time to come back and cover opponents... it really does make all the difference... \n\nGood luck!

work on your reactions off the line, quad work outs really help with this. \n\nwork on your swim moves to get past offensive linemen

well, i'd the same problem before. my freestyle was slower than alot of my teammates. well, the best thing to do is to work on you legs and your kick. well, the dryland thing is to use the leg press which you will find alot of football players use cuz it makes your leg stronger. then, you need to work in your kick. the best way is a kick board. grab one and start kicking for about 20/25 100 yards a day, or as much as you can, if you can only do 1000 yards this will be fine. after a while, you will notice that your kicks r stronger and that you r moving faster in the water. then, you start working in both you kick and arms. well, take a long fast strong pulls with your arm and never stop kicking. also, stretch your arm all the way in front of you and pull all the way down till your arm is fully stretched then get it out and keep going. make sure your kick is going fast. then see the difference. you will be really faster. it worked for me, i hope it will work for you.

Train and be faster than the other players.  The more limber you are the better when you get hit that you won't get injured.  Also always go in at 100%, if you pull back from a tackle or something you are going to get hurt.

ALL OF THE ABOVE\n \nI play football and football practice keeps you in shape by running which increases your stamina. Weight training which improves your strength. And drills which makes you a better player and helps you become more agile.

First of all know the field yes it sounds weird but it helps...For short wide fields you have to pass more to your team mates and make sure you guys don't bunch up...For a long field having fast players up as your forwards is good because here there speed will come in handy...another helpful hint is make sure if you have one key player you can not be constantly depending on them because there other team is going to notice that, that player is the one always getting the ball and making runs so obviously they are going to try and shut this player down by maybe putting two players on her or him or there best player on them

Well I would imagine that anything that helps you run faster is a good work out so try running more. See if you can get faster. Also, watch what running backs do while running. They are constantly dodging would-be tacklers, so it might be good to have a few of your friends try to catch you while you are running.

You need to play more sports

As long as you're in good health I would definitely recommend it. Since you have played before I am sure you know that soccer requires substantial stamina and endurance. Look for a church or park league to get yourself back into the swing of it. Depending on your skill level, you can determine for yourself whether you would like to play just for fun (and great exercise - it's a great sport that you can that you can play at any age) or if you're ability is more at a competitive level. Either way, just the fact that you're interested means you should give it another shot! Good Luck and Have FUN!

Read the fifa website and familiarise yourself with the rules of the game.  I presume you are looking for help learning to play the game.  there are a few skills to learn, which would be helpful.  Best thing to do is find some friends who want to play, but if youre on your own...\n\nPassing:  learn to pass by kicking the ball against a wall.  Kicking the ball with the inside of your foot is best way.  Learn how much power you need to hit the ball.  After you have the hang of it, aim for certain targets on the wall, to improve accuracy.  Try passing the ball both on the ground and in the air against the wall.  Dont be scared to use both feet, and if one of them is better than the other, dont fret, this is normal.  Get someone to help and practice passing the ball further distances.\n\nShooting:  Much the same as passing, but with more power and accuracy required.  It would be good to have friend to go in goals for this, if you dont have goals, just use what you have (like a couple of jackets against the wall).  Hit with inside of foot, keep your head over the ball - the further back your body is when you hit a shot the more likely the ball is to go into the air.  Again, try to hit the ball with the inside of your foot for more accuracy.  \n\nHeading:  Again, get some help.  Get the friend to throw the ball to you and head it back in their direction.  If your friend is also learning, see how many times you can keep the ball in the air with heading it alone.  \n\nKeepie ups:  These may look like fun, but in fact help a lot\nto improve your overall control.  Keep the ball in the air by flicking it up with your foot, and see how many times you can keep it up using your feet, knees, chest and head.\n\nTackling: Can only really be practiced in a game.  When tackling, go for the ball, not the feet, and never tackle someone from directly behind.  Warning though:  sliding challenges should never be done on hard surfaces or plastic pitches unless you want a nasty gash on your leg.  My advice is just get stuck in!  Dont be scared to tackle.\n\nDribbling (running with the ball): set up cones in a line, if you dont have them use your imagination!  Run with the ball through and around these cones.   Better to learn in a game, you will pick up how people take the ball past others.  \n\nThe overall idea is to have fun.  Get some friends together and have a kickabout in the park.  You will learn far more from this than what i have detailed above.  Try searching yahoo for sites which give training techniques.  If you dont have anyone to play with, just take the ball and mess about with it, there is no better way to learn: i was never without one at my feet as a youngster!  Hope this helps :)

the only way to increase ur stamina is to do more stamina training! not the easy option, but the effective option. try going for steady runs of about 30mins in duration as well as the sessions with a group. in 12weeks u shd notice an increased stamina- a good way of determining ur fitness is by taking ur resting heart rate first thing in the morning before u sit up. anything under 60 is great.
