Soccer Questions & Answers
Others are
1. How can I figure out what trick they’re using?
Keep an eye on the ball no matter what. Observe the strikers’ weaknesses and soon or later you can use their weaknesses against them. Use the right time to slide for the ball.
2. How do I hit the ball with my left foot when I’m a righty?
You have to practice and train your weak foot. Find a wall and do volleys with your foot. Once you start to land a few it will become easier.
Soccer Questions & Answers

Stay near their strong side and block there. If they are trying to block you, try to get the outside of your opponent’s dominant foot.
4. How do I get others to understand my soccer strategy during a game?
You have to understand your team’s strategy, rather than them understanding yours. You are just one person.

Relax! You’ve got this! As they are running at you think, am I going to do a scorpion, step-over, or just dribble around them? Mistakes make you better!

Soccer Questions & Answers
6. Can you please tell how to make a rainbow trick above the head and then straight to the feet?
Bring the ball up your dominant leg, then use your dominant leg to flick the ball over the head using your heel.
7. How can I kick harder in soccer?
Practice your kicks. Find out which type of kick is best for you and try to improve your strength and speed with that particular kick.
8. What do I do to get passed to by the defenders?
Your coach should tell you before the game what the team strategy is. If you guys are planning on building out of the back, then the defenders should be passing the ball to the midfielders as it wouldn’t make sense to just punt the ball upfield and give it to the other team. However some less advanced teams decide to kick the ball all the way to the striker and hope for a defensive error. This is much less effective but usually a necessity for teams who aren’t good enough. If you want the defenders to pass directly to you, you should scream “ball” or “pass” and talk to them before the game to tell them that you would like it if they passed you the ball.
