hey, its because you drink or already have liquids in your stomach, which causes you to have a "cramp." what you can do about it is, drink your liquids an hour before practice, and pee and all that good stuff. then start practice, and dont have any liquids untill your heart rate has been up for a good while, say an hour or 2. dont dehydrate yourself, but keep hydrated like half way thew practice. hope i helped ya!

could be cramps, do you stretch properly? Sounds like your body is telling you to stop and take it easy.
If you feel pain you should take it down a notch or two, maybe walk for a while instead of running. If practice is once a week, you might want to do cardio (run, bike) about 4 times a week so it becomes easier and your pulse doesn't rise as high. (soccer counts as one of those days)
Also, make sure you are properly hydrated (Gatorade)
I'm not a trainer, but have been running/playing soccer for 20+ years now

I had the same thing growing up and it is referred to as Costochondritis. For the most part it is normal. Simply put, the exercising is inflaming the cartilage tissue causing it to rub up against the bone (very painful at times). If it keeps up you may want to see the doc and get some anti-inflammatories. Mine also started when I was playing soccer as a youth! I have pretty much outgrown it but it does flare up now and then.

Honestly i'm not sure exactly why your get those pains but they are normal. It's just your body telling you to slow down. A good trick is to slow down and walk with you hands linked together and resting on your head. it will get circluation going in your body again.
take it easy girl, just remember if you push yourself too hard you can get igured, no lie.

drink more water and stop straining so much. You need to relax and run comfortably. It will slow down your heart if you concentrate on your breathing. You must control your breathing and all the pain and strain will cease.
