Very nervous about soccer tryouts?

Question

ok so i have high school soccer tryouts in a couple of days. i am going to be a freshman. i have very little experience because i have only played for a week this summer at soccer camp. i seemed to really enjoy it. i have been jogging a little and practicing with the ball but i am very nervous cus im afraid there is going to be other players with much experience that are better and im not going to know anybody there so im just kind of scared. any advice on what i should do to not have so much low self esteem about it?

Answer 1

i'm a freshman too and i have little experience in soccer.  But don't worry about not making it, just be proud that you're trying something new.  I'm gonna tryout for my first team on Monday.

What coaches love seeing is that you have great stamina and run nonstop.  Dont worry about skills.

Answer 2

Well keep up the good work. Find a track and field and keep practicing a lot. Stretch a lot too!! Also remember there will always be people better than you and always people worse than you. Good Luck!

Answer 3

Some of the best soccer players didn't start until their college years. Be outgoing and make friends. If you become friends with the other tryouts they may help you to do better. Also run like  you've never run before. do exactly what the coach tells you to and don't be afraid to ask questions.

Answer 4

If you don't get picked don't think you are not good enough the coach might not include you because he plays favorites.
