How can i be a more aggressive soccer player?

Question

i play for a girls high school soccer team. my dad is the coach. I am naturally timid and shy and i dont like pushing people or getiing others hurt. My father says i look like im not trying and like i dont want to be there. But i do, and i love playing most days. Sometimes i feel like i play to please him. My technical skills are good but when it comes to getting a ball around an oppent or trying to get the ball from someone i stink. how can i learn to not be so afraid of getting hurt or hurting others?

Answer 2

Look I no what u mean. Im usually known for being a dirty player on my team, but thats just me and my position. U dont have to do that. Just use your body to push and shove, just make sure you dont intend to inflict harm on anyone. The main objective is the BALL; anything you do has to be based on that goal, to get the ball away.

Well over here thats the way we role and if it works then why not, although i do take out the swearing at referees, but a stamp on the toe of your marker is what alot of players are told to do, to show their marker that they mean business, get it right NJAVID or whatever.
