You gotta look at the different aspects of your game that you can work on. The most important thing really is to just practice, practice and practice.

Kicking accurately is a crucial skill. Go to the park and stand about 20m away from the goal post and try to hit the post! This is what the Jarmen brothers used to do. If you really wanna be a footy star then you have to be fanatical about practice... but you must also practice properly, patiently and diligently.

    1) skill: practice kicking with a proper technique, handballing and marking the ball. Have the footy in your hand all the time and have a good feel for the ball.

    2) fitness: long runs, sprints, plyometrics. You're gonna need all of this to be able to run out a game and run off your opponents. Oh and also weights so you can be strong enough to contest.

    3) very important: learn to use your voice. its your most important tool on the field. eg. telling a guy 'sum1's on ya' or 'my ball' could be the difference between a goal or letting one through.

    lastly just remember to have fun cos in the end dats y you play footy.

    Rank your qualities from 1 to 10.
    Then start working on them from 10 upwards.
    When your no. 10 is equal to your No. 1 you will be an excellent footballer.

    Good luck. I like your attitude.
