Knowing how to play soccer could be your key to success.

Teaching others, particularly youths, how to play soccer is a passion for many people worldwide. However, what many of these soccer lovers do not realise is the fact that it is possible not just to do this full time but also make a very good living from it.

Such is the appeal of soccer worldwide that the demand for people who can actually coach others how to play soccer far outstrips supply. Irrespective of whether it’s England, Australia or the United States the thirst for learning how to play soccer is almost unquenchable.

Why then, if the demand is so great are there not more people teaching others how to play? There are three main reasons for this.

Knowing how to play soccer and actually teaching others how to play soccer are two totally different things. Unfortunately many people do not realise this.

These people are under the mistaken impression that to be good at showing people how to play that they had to be good at playing soccer themselves.

Because of this mistaken belief many soccer lovers are not only depriving themselves of the opportunity to coach soccer but also depriving themselves of the chance of making a very good living doing something they love.

The ability to acquire knowledge, to be organised and impart knowledge is not restricted to any particular age. Teaching in general and teaching people how to play soccer in particular is an acquired skill, a skill that can be acquired and applied using a certain methodology. Again, this is not something that a lot of people are actually aware of.

Many lovers of the beautiful game have a vague notion that they would like to be in a position to make a living from teaching others how to play, but they lack one vital tool. This tool is the key to success for any business, a business plan.

The lack of this blueprint for success, formula, call it what you may , is the common factor in why so many people fail to realise their dreams and this is as true for coaching people how to play soccer as it is for any other business.

The requirements for showing others how to play soccer.

The requirements are actually quite simple and if each one is present the opportunities are limitless. The most basic requirement is a passion for the game and a willingness to learn.

Organisational ability, whether it is your own or one of your relations is also a big plus. However the most important part if you are to be successful at coaching others how to play soccer is getting your hands on a good plan and applying it.

What should a good plan contain?

If you are considering the idea of teaching others how to play soccer your plan should contain the following;

Ideas for setting up your first coaching session.

Soccer drills.

Play great soccer,    grass roots coaching,  

Marketing and promoting your soccer coaching business.

Ideally your plan for will come from someone who has achieved success themselves in this area. The opportunities for those who have done a little preparation and planning are vast. The opportunities for those that love teaching others how to play soccer and know how to stick to a simple gameplan are limitless.

I’m going to be playing soccer and I need to know if turf boots are good or if I should get some regular cleats.

I’ll be playing on a Bermuda pitch.

Thanks.

Soccer must be one of the first sports games all played by humans. I can only imagine cave dwellers kicking in the old soccer ball. Or perhaps it is a rock soccer? A soccer coconut perhaps? You must be one of the simplest form of playing sports imaginable. I mean, really, I hit the ball this way and you try to hit the ball this way. That ball (coconut?) Va more this or more so determines the winner. If May be easy for me to imagine soccer around his expulsion by a group of caveman sports enthusiasts, as soon as official minutes of soccer was played by China approximately 3,000 years. Wow, it’s like the World Cup 750, if someone was keeping track.

Ultimate Soccer header

soccer is also curious nature, insofar as it is one of the few sports I can think of where you use your head more than simple strategies. In fact, you can use your head to make contact with the ball. Imagine trying that in soccer (American) or hockey for that matter. Nothing link deflecting a slap shot with his forehead for a game winning goal. Stitches not hurt that much. These guys are soccer a little strange that way. But the ultimate shot in the head soccer was a little more bizarre. Gruesome actually. Apparently, in addition to medieval times, the head of a vanquished Danish prince has used the ball a day early soccer hooligans in the east of England. Yuck. I think the purchase of a new soccer shoes after this meeting. It is a marvel of soccer ever made with the Danes after a defeat like that.

Soccer Wars

As with many games these days, soccer has its origins on the battlefield. Rival cities to play soccer against each other, with little or no rules, teams and massive size. Violent, bloody games, with hundreds of people kicking, punching, tripping in an attempt to win the soccer game. Sounds a bit like today, except today, which sounds more like a good description of the fans instead of actors. You think it’s hard to be a soccer referee today, imagine a few hundred years. At least today, they keep the fans and referees separated. Over time, and prohibiting local authorities realized that soccer was not going to work, more civilized soccer fans and has rules for the game of soccer. Not everyone agreed, and there were some splinter groups that came out and formed derivatives of the game. Rugby was one.

Soccer civilized like playing

Today, we play modern soccer that we even allow our children to play. An extension by far the beginnings of the sport. Perhaps an analogy can be drawn between soccer and many new forms of expression. At first, things can be a bloody mess, but a few thousand years of civilization and everything can be reduced to a child’s play.

Soccer is an athletic sport and it has become more than a game that awards the player with the best ball skills. Improving your body and your physical traits, as well as chiseling your physical weaknesses is extremely important in modern day soccer and the field that tends to all these aspects is called soccer conditioning.

Soccer conditioning is actually made up of 6 concepts, or sub-sections if you will. The warm up, strength, power, endurance, agility and speed training are key components to a full soccer conditioning program. I won’t go into too much detail about them with the article at hand, but what I do want to do is give you a glimpse on what each component is, how it benefits you as a soccer player (or your players if you’re a coach) and how it can be improved.

-Soccer Warm Ups

At the very beginning of soccer, players would warm up before a match individually and rather disorganized. Besides of a few common warm-up and stretching exercises, they depended on the first minutes of play to get them into the right condition to play at full potential.

Nowadays, warming up is given increasingly higher importance, because it helps a soccer player in two ways: it protects you from muscle injuries such as strains and ruptures and it brings you to your maximum playing ability as the match or training session begins. A third benefit comes from specific stretching exercises, that make you more agile and flexible, which is a great advantage for a soccer player in today’s lightning fast game.

-Soccer Strength

Strength is a crucial factor in soccer, since it affects several abilities used during a match, such as jumping, shooting, dribbling, shielding, balance, tackling or marking. Actually, strength is probably the only conditioning key component that is useful in the same measure for all players, regardless of their position on the pitch. Shielding is often confused with power, but as you will see below there’s a difference between the two.

-Soccer Power

Power can refer to one of three things in soccer: the power of your shots, the power of your headers and the power of your throws. Although strength does have an important role in determining these three attributes, you also need to have the right technique to make them work. So power is a combination between strength and technique.

For example, when kicking a ball towards the goal, strength will work towards a more powerful shot if you have trained out your abs, lower back and leg muscles, but at the same time you’ll need to kick the ball perfectly if you want to achieve a truly powerful and accurate shot. As a tire commercial once put it…power is nothing without control.

-Soccer Endurance

There are two types of endurance, short and long range. Short endurance refers to your ability to sprint longer and long endurance is more general and it helps you pull off an entire match. It’s important to know that endurance isn’t just about being able to run for the ball longer in a match. If you get tired, you will also have a harder time focusing on the game, jumping, tackling, dribbling, finishing and so forth. So having good endurance can help you get the best out of yourself for longer periods of time.

Note that it’s very hard to get to a level where you can run tirelessly even in the latter stages of the match. Even professional soccer players that are part of the most powerful clubs in the World tend to get tired around the 80th minute, or earlier if they played a high tempo game.

-Soccer Agility

Agility can help you on several levels in soccer. Goalkeepers will have better reflexes and they’ll be able to get to high balls quicker if they’re more agile. Defenders will be harder to dribble and their tackles will be more accurate and clean with the right level of agility. Midfielders can dribble with ease if they’re agile and strikers work well around their quickness in order to get in front of the defender and finish on crosses, or dribble their way to goal when possible.

-Soccer Speed

Just like with the power-strength confusion, some people tend to put an equality sign in between speed and agility. Whereas agility refers to quick reactions, speed refers to running at full throttle, on a longer distance. Actually, speed has two components: acceleration and top speed.

Acceleration lasts from the moment you start the sprint, to a second or two before you can reach top speed. Indeed, agility plays a crucial role in acceleration, but has little to do with top speed. So focusing on agility exercises may improve your acceleration, but your top speed is difficult to improve, since it’s determined by a formula involving your lower body strength, natural constitution and running technique.

It is a sport played by millions of people around the world. Boys and girls, men and women, from all walks of life and from nearly every nation on earth; soccer boasts a pool of players that is vaster and varied than possibly any other sport. Soccer’s appeal is understandable; not only is it a fun and exciting game to play, it is a sport that nearly anyone can play as the only thing you really need is a ball and your feet. However, that is not to say that there is not more to soccer than the ball, and fans and players of organized soccer know that the importance of the soccer jersey cannot be understated.

A soccer jersey can convey the personality of your team. From the colors to your team crest or logo; your team’s soccer jersey is what makes the first impression on your opponents. If you are the coach or organizer of a youth team, or even a team of older and more experienced players, then selecting a jersey with the right look is an important part of your job. Online retailers and brick-and-mortar stores alike offer selections of jerseys as well as the ability to put names and numbers on the back, just like those seen on the jerseys of the professionals.

Like jerseys in other sports, fans of soccer also like to wear the colors and crest of their favorite teams and favorite players. The unmistakable colors and cuts of the most famous soccer jerseys are clearly identifiable, even from a distance, and wearing them allows fans to make a statement of loyalty to their beloved club. However, simply wearing the soccer jersey of your favorite team is only one way that soccer fans enjoy the thrill of wearing an official jersey. The worldwide appeal of soccer gives fans of the game hundreds of ways to add new jerseys to their collection.

What true soccer fan can not appreciate the appeal of wearing the colors of great teams like AC Milan or Manchester United? And with combinations of home and away colors, as well as short and long sleeve versions, even the love of a single team can spawn a collection of several jerseys. Further, there is more to loving soccer than loving a single team. The various leagues around the world can make it easy to have several teams to root for, and each has their own distinctive collections of jerseys that fans will covet.

Rooting for specific teams is one way that people find themselves collecting jerseys, but rooting for favorite players might be even more popular. Wearing a soccer jersey with the names of great players on the back is as popular in soccer as it is in other sports. Ronaldinho, Beckham, Zidane, Ronaldo, are just a few names of soccer greats that adorn so many jerseys. And of course, let us not forget the ever popular Pele, who is still a popular choice decades after his playing career has ended.

Favorite teams and players aside, perhaps nothing catches the imagination of soccer fans like the World Cup. It is a time when team alliances are put aside and patriotism rules the day. With 198 nations fielding teams, and 32 of those teams making it to the final tournament, the World Cup is an event that drives soccer fans all over the world to purchase a new soccer jersey that conveys their national pride.

Whether you are wearing the jersey of the team on which you play, or the jersey of the team you root for the most, using the Internet you can find a soccer jersey for the team, player, or colors that best define you.

English Soccer History – Early Days

It’s hard to determine exactly how soccer became so popular in England in the 19th century, but the truth is that in the mid 19th century, almost every major town had a semi-professional soccer team. These teams were usually associations of workers from the same factory or institution or simply students at a local University.

Matches between those teams were played occasionally, with little to no prize, but only for competition’s sake. However, these matches were played without any rules or a referee and as soccer isn’t necessarily a sport that’s completely clean of violence, all it took was a harsh tackle or an argument about a particular rule to start a bloody fight between the two teams and their supporters.

But the year 1863 marked an extremely important chapter in English soccer history, as several soccer clubs from all over the country (prominently from London) met up in the English capital and set up a sort of “soccer constitution” called the Laws of the Game (a modified version of the original rules are still in effect today and are still called as such).

That was also the birth certificate of the Football Association, or simply FA that is still ruling over English soccer nowadays and had a tremendous importance throughout the history of soccer in England and the way it evolved.

English Soccer History – Important Milestones

With England being rightfully considered the inventors of modern soccer, one would expect them to be amongst the most successful national squads in the World. However, despite having some world class soccer players throughout time and despite always being favorites for the competitions they start in, the English national squad only achieved few important milestones throughout the entire soccer history in England.

The apogee of English soccer and the most important chapter ever to be written in the entire history of soccer in England was definitely the successful World Cup run in 1966, a competition that was held on English ground, giving them the advantage to grasp their long-awaited trophy.

The 1966 team, captained by legendary Bobby Moore and with other key components such as Jackie Charlton or Geoff Hurst playing regularly, remains the best national squad in the entire English soccer history, especially since their success has not been equaled ever since.

English Soccer History – Modern Era

England is still a top team in Europe and throughout the World and has some players that are considered having world class quality, but the national team still has moderate success, despite being star-studded.

Recently, the form of English clubs overshadowed the poor performance of the national team, as Manchester United, Chelsea, Liverpool or Arsenal continue to be heavy contenders for each year’s European Champion’s League, the most prestigious club competition in the World.

Despite being happy with the respect English clubs impose in Europe, fans are still yearning for that long awaited European or World Cup which could mark a new important chapter in the English soccer history.
