The best videos you could get would be the Weil Coerver training tapes. They are older but so solid in teaching the skills of soccer. Check it out! You will not be disappointed.

With whom are you going to train. If you are training by yourself it's going to be really hard. Soccer is team sport so the best advice is to be training with some people. Training with other people is not only more fun, i think it's the only way to accomplish something.\n\nI'm a soccer player myself at a reasonable level in the Netherlands. I only train 2 times a week for 2 hours. This gives me enough practice to act at this level.\n\nI assume you play at a higher level so I think a training of 4 hours a day would be more than enough. Professional soccer players in the Netherlands train about an average of 6 hours a day. When training that much know that it's best to consult a physician.\n\nGood luck with training.

Hmmm, maybe u can find a coach to teach u and practice from there. Train when u have the free time. Beckham plays football for money. So u will have to sacrifice alot of ur free time to train and kick let he does.

Passing and shooting is always a good thing for a midfielder to practice.  Controlling the ball when you receive it is of prime importance.  Juggling is an excellent way to improve your ball control.\n\nPractice, practice, practice . . . the more the better.

technically: you need to have ball control on your feet, head, chest; great stamina and endurance for a 90mins game, a daily practice, knowledge about the game coupled with your natural born skills to play soccer, of course dedication and determination is needed.

kicking the ball should help

If you're talking about REAL football (not soccer) I can help.  I played on a semi-pro team for 3 seasons.\n\nFirst of all, you have to have speed and dexterity.  Speed is natural, but can be improved with exercise.\n\nSecond, as far as health is concerned, eat correctly and balanced, exercise (lift weights) regularly.\n\nThird, develop a keen sense of what the game is all about.  Study tendencies both on defense and offense.  Moreover, always be ready to play any position when asked upon.  Practice throwing, catching and kicking if applicable.\n\nStudy the playbook intently and know every player's responsibility so you know what to do, when to do it, and can play their position.

The top thing you can do is practice for 2 hours twice a day. One major thing you need to practice for is "ball controle" just dribble the ball inbetween your feet and try not to look at your feet when you do this. It will give you more controle over the ball and it will help you to not look at your feet every 5 seconds. And another thing. Watch as many online soccer clips and soccer games on the tv. And when I say this I mean it. Dont for get to practice every day.

Practice.  If you put everything you have into making yourself a better player, you'll be sure to impress.  Do you have anybody else that is able to practice with you during free time??  Get a group of other kids your age and have a ball hockey game just for fun, it will help you hone your skills and you can have great fun doing it.. \n\nHope it helps :)

I know what you mean, Ive been playing for 7 years,and I'm also 14, I'm usually mid or forward and am short also so i have the same problem.... I will give you the advice my coach gave me... dribble the ball a couple of times then when you go to kick watch to see where you're other foot is. Lets say you are right mid, so you would kick the ball with your right foot, so your left foot should be very close to the ball not right beside it but if you put the top of your left foor near the center of the ball then move it over about 2 inches (depends on your shoe size) then you will see your aim and your kick will be harder. It will take some getting used to but if you practice every day you can have it down in probably a week then it would seem like you always kicked that way.\nAlso, after you do that you can learn how to kick with your laces, if you already don't know how, I learned that and I can know kick it twice as hard with my laces, or kick it up withmy laces then head it far... either way. Take baby steps with it though.

I would say try getting some people together and use the fence as a goal and play soccer.If you did not know this,a forward is the person who makes the goals, a defender is the one who helps the goalie but cannot touch the ball with hands, and you probably know what a goalie is. I say practice forwarding. It really helps you in soccer. \n          P.S. I play.

Always try to find the open space. Pay attention to the off side rules. Learn to kick the ball in a way that the ball ends up were you want to send it..  The same heading the ball. Practice until you can do that. The ball is the tool of the game.

According to the topic guidelines, you are talking about soccer.  If so, depending on the area involved, I would say that dribbling in circles--inside of the foot, then outside of the foot--change feet, go the other way.  Then work up to doing it with your eyes closed.(Good basketball players don't look at their hands).\nJuggling-keep the ball close to you, no more than 2 ft in the air 10 to 20 times each foot, and each thigh, then the head.  This improves your touch, and helps you when you progress to more difficult skills,  such as taking a ball on the fly, touching it to your feet, lifting it over an opponent, and changing direction immediately , even before it reaches the ground.\nIf you ever saw the movie "the karate kid", you know what "wax on, wax off" means.  Work the small fundamentals until they are second nature, and the difficult skills are easier to master.\nOther moves to practice are step-overs, with a change of direction, roll-overs(where you roll the ball left or right with either foot by passing the foot over the top of the ball) with a change of direction, and pull-backs, where you move the ball forward, then pull it back by putting your foot on the top of the ball and pulling it back, followed by a quick change of direction.\nThere are lots of instructional materials out there, and a good skills coach is always a good source, but my experience\nleads me to say: learn 3 good moves--perfect them--and use them to the best of your ability.  Add others AFTER you have these down perfectly.Good luck.

dont concentrate so much on the meals! eh, become an all-round player, focus on speed, agility, reaction and of course ball handling...your shot will develop by itself, just make sure you practice passing,passing and passing. Passing equals goals.
