How can I practice soccer at home?

I'm thinking about quitting soccer and changing to tennis.?

  • I'm a junior in high school right now and I started playing soccer about 2 years ago. Until then, I never even touched a soccer ball before. My skills? ehh My speed? ehh, everything wasn't so great. Yet, I trained so hard in the first year. Although I was benched in jv my first year playing, I came to every games and every practices. Also, I joined a local soccer club. In 1 year, I guess I improved remarkably. I even paid a quite of money to attend this prestigious soccer camp at university over summer. When I came back to my club team, the whole crew except me and 3 others changed. I was full of self-esteem and got a starting position as a defender. So about a month passed and my team attended at this big tournament. First game, we were up by 1 and I accidentally gave away a penalty kick. Since then, I think I lost ALL of my confidence, my starting position, and my skills. A few people started calling me a bench warmer and this week, we almost got in a fight. Tonight at practice, I was getting so frustrated at myself and everyone that I blasted the ball few times in the air purposely. I told coach that I wanted to be off from the practice match and he told me "I know son, I know. Who did you fight with? put your shin guards back on and get back on the field." By that point, tears came out of my eyes a little....(dunno why). I came home and told my parents I won't be going back to the club for a few weeks until I take my ACT (October). I'm just having so much hard time at club because of immature players in the team (we are U-17 but have 15-16yr olds on the team) & I had a difficult time at my high school soccer team also (I made into Varsity the second year) because our coach is an one-minded man and has favoritism. (we usually beat other HS teams like average 5-0 but never puts new ppl in; only the same people). SIGH~ I just don't know what to do...I'm thinking about trying out for tennis this year.....I lost all my passion, love, and enthusiasm toward soccer now :'( I HATE my teammates and I HATE soccer. I regret so much how I begged my parents to pay for all the things I did related to soccer.... Just because of that, I would like to finish this season before I choose whether to keep play or not but I just can't handle this massive amount of stress at one time!!! I'm a 17yr old boy who's quite mature, but I just feel like crying every time I go to practice.

well.. it's really competitive & it's not a sport you can't just join. it's not as easy as it seems. you might want to take some lessons and go to a camp or clinic.

:(......................i understand what your going through, i haven't played soccer in over 5 years, and my parents put me in a soccer thingy, in so i didn't want to, man i cried, but i still had to, so at the first practice i felt so alone, and i hated it. I even started crying. Then the second practice i player really well (defender), then my first game i was so OSM, and even my coach put me in the front of all the girls and said i was beast and best defense ever......well that was a bad idea, becuase now these girls would expect me to be really good, but that made me get nervous and afraid, and i already was since the beginning....so i haven't been playing so good, at my game today i started playing really really bad, but then the last part i did better, even tho an impact with a girl made me fall to the ground lol ...but yeah i just gotta keep going, people make mistakes, i get depressed sometimes but i won't last forever, just try to redeem yourself, and don't give up and don't worry those other guys think, i also dislike most of the girls in my team (its a bunch of those wild black & hispanic girls that say bad words and stuff) lol i'm hispanic too but i'm a good girl. so yeah you've worked really hard for this soccer thing, and you shouldn't give up, tennis is pretty stressful too, (i also wanted to play that, even had a private coach, but stopped becuz of soccer) just remember that your not alone!!!! :)
