Answer 5

eat lots of fruits, vegetables, and proteins!  for exercising start out small like maybe 3 miles 3 days a week for a little while, but gradually increase to help your endurance.  make sure you practice with a ball everyday to improve your foot skills and to get a better touch on the ball.  good luck!!

Answer 6

Mate, depends what position you are playing.

Defender-Lots of strength training, weights if you can, really work on your core body strength with situps and squats as you need a strong centre of balance. As an attacker, I know how hard it is to go up against a strong defender. Light jogging may be enough for your cardio, maybe 2-3 km  3 days a week, in between your strength training.

Midfield-Long distance running, as a midfielder you will constantly be running the whole game, I am a mid, and I do 3-4 km (I know this isn't that long, but keeps me fit) run every day when possible, mainly 4 times a week maybe. Some light weight training and sprints.

Forward-Sprints Sprints Sprints!

As a forward you need to be one step faster than your defender, that extra burst of speed could mean the difference between a goal and being tackled (I wouldn't have scored my goal on the weekend without that extra half a yard I had on the defender)  

One technique that is good is to go for a run, maybe for 2-3 km and every 100 metres, sprint 20, or do it by seconds, count to say 30, then sprint for ten, then take it back to a light jog while you recover, then repeat, can look a little weird to passers-by, but you will be thankful on the weekend

You also need to be fairly strong as an attacker, but it obviously depends what kind of forward you are, If you are a big, tall, target man, spend more time on your strength training, for a small, quick attacker, obviously focus on your sprints.

In the food department, just carbo-load (pasta, bread) the day before a game, and make sure you keep your fluids up while trainging. Also, a little trick in the game, at half time, have some fruit, dont just try to re-hydrate with water.

Hope I helped, good luck!
