    Asking about a team mates football boots is a good conversation starter.

    Confidence Tips:( in new team)
    1. Greet everyone before training
    2.stand up straight + eye contact
    3. Start a casual conversation in locker room
    4.hop straight into pre-training rondo
    5.ask to join passing or two touch
    Before training session.
    6. Confidently ask for the ball
    7. Repeat same action after a mistake
    8. Take feedback with confidence:
    Look in the eyes and say got it!
    9. Dont be the first one off the field.
    10. Start up a casual conversation after session.
    And the most important train more. More than everyone and you will be 100% confident player. Everyday become better than you was yesterday confidence will actualy come

    CANNOT emphasize enough how true this is. I'm someone that usually doesn't talk much but I'll walk into rondos knowing I got this shit. I got called out by a teammate in training for playing a risky backheel pass in defence. But it worked out. CONFIDENCE. I did the fancy stuff again. I had a good session. No one said a thing after I pulled off risky moves while it worked. They'd play the ball into me even when I demanded it in risky spots. I have the confidence to wriggle out. If I fail? I'll do it again, while obviously being aware and sensible. This is one thing you learn from players like Neymar. They'll lose the ball, come back up like nothing happened, win the game.

      Soccer is simple, dudes who play scared simply don’t understand the game enough
      Confidence is the side effect of experience
      The most confident man in the world won’t be confident in a soccer game cause he doesn’t have experience

    My dad always said, you have a free pass to be cocky on the pitch but as soon as you leave the pitch, you leave your cockiness there.
    He called it a light switch, you switch it on when you're playing and switch it off when you're done. That metaphor always stuck with me

    Really needed this, Ive had a really rough time with trials and I have been leaving every trial knowing I am better and should have done better and I dont get on the teams ive wanted to and think i deserve to. I totally relate to shying away, I wont call for the ball, and when im on the ball i play too safe. I always try to move on from things in tryouts but its really hard those mistakes really eat at you if you let them, especially for me where i set pretty unrealistic standards for myself. But next trial I will make sure that when I make a mistake to move on like nothing happened and go to the next play.
