What I’m Good at

Alright, so tonight I’ve gone through all of the last 7 weeks weekly reflections and concluded on a couple of things.

These are what my strengths are from best to not the best:

• Slide tackling
• Speed
• Long balls/crossing
• Running with the ball
• Dribbling

(and add set pieces there somewhere)

These strengths are consistent with wingers, which do these things (from wikipedia):

• Technical skill to beat a full-back in a one-to-one situation.
• Pace, to beat the full-back one-on-one.
• Crossing ability when out wide.
• Good off-the-ball ability when reading a pass from the midfield or from fellow attackers.
• Good passing ability and composure, to retain possession while in opposition territory.
• The modern winger should also be comfortable on either wing so as to adapt to quick tactical changes required by the coach.

I’m decent now, but I have to really buckle down and get really, fantastically good at these skills if I want to be the next amazing player.

Now that I’ve confirmed what I am good at, and what position suits me. It’s time to formulate a training plan around this.. Watch out for the next post! 🙂
