Practicing Soccer



       As you might know I love to play soccer. I have always felt comfortable when I'm on the field playing, and as you might have guessed, I'm always practicing to get better. At the end my practices, my dad or I always point out what I can work on. After I find out what to work on, I practice that skill, so I will become a fantastic soccer player someday.

       Today I worked on running, because I want to get faster. My trainer, Marlin, knows multiple drills that can help with running. So when my dad and I went to the middle school nearby, we knew the drill that I was going to work on. When we got to the middle school, I did one drill the whole time.  It was called The Speed Drill. There are eight cones equally spaced in a straight line. Starting at the first cone, you sprint ahead two cones, then backpedal one cone. You continue this pattern until you finish at the eighth cone. It was very tiring after I did ten repetitions,  but I'm glad I worked hard to become a better player.

I love practicing to get better at anything. It's a big goal of mine to get better at soccer each ad every day. I'm very thankful for everyone who helps me get on the rode to becoming the best soccer player in the world!




What are you practicing to get better at?


What are some of the things you are doing to get better at that skill?
