As a mid fielder (half back) in soccer, what are some good things to practice before a game?

Question

I have a game today, and before I was doing pretty good. It's my first year playing, and recently I havn't been dribbling and kicking as good as I use to. I don't know what happened. What can I do to improve my skills?

Answer 1

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.

Practice, practice, practice . . . the more the better.

Answer 2

Two days before a game, you should really load up on carbs that will keep you with enough energy for the next game. Drink lots of liquid and make sure that you have a lot of energizing, healthy foods. Also, at the game, have both water and a sports drink. The sports drink is for after the game, to regain the sugars that you had lost in the duration of the workout.

Answer 3

I play that same position and what I work the most at is tackling and endurance, bucause since your a midfielder you are expected to run alot. Some other things that i work on is passing the ball accurate and how to control the ball

Answer 6

You can try to dribble the ball back and forth across the field. For shooting, you can have a friend be the goaly and take shots. that's my advice to you.

It also wouldn't hurt to talk to your coach a little about it, as I'm sure they could give you some advice on drills to improve
