A Soccer Boy Hoping For Glory

Hello Mirsad, I love to play soccer, but I’m a scrawny Asian kid with no balance or stamina. I can’t run and it feels impossible that I will ever learn to do it. I like soccer but I just can’t perform any well. My first soccer game was last week. And I let in 3 goals (I’m currently playing as defender) and I also scored an own goal. We lost 5-0 cause of me. I don’t how I can get better. Can you please give me advices on how to become good at soccer? Thanks in advance.

THE ANSWER
Hello Ken Wu, well, I receive a lot of questions similar to yours and all I can say is that if you follow the guides on this site you’ll be able to improve your skills by several levels. I wish that I could give you’re a secret formula that would transform you into a skillful soccer player but the truth is that such things only exist in moves. Do not get discouraged by the mistakes you make during the games. Instead, learn what you did wrong and avoid doing the same thing in the future. Wish you all the best.
