I will tell you what works for me and if you take anythign and use it cool and if you don't and you think I'm full of it then also cool. First a coach is a mentor not "a scolding father" I hope he really isn't your dad because I don't want to offend you. So I agree with the previous answer dump the team or coach I mean. Now as for improving. There are an infinite amount of tips and things you can do. Plus everyone has a style to teach, learn, and play. The basics it think are patience, ball control, and speed. I'll explain what I mean. Work on your basics because these are the foundation and building blocks of anything that is to come. Patience: No one is born with an auto pilot that majically comes on and you know how to play. Maybe born with talent but not the knowledge of the game and definetly no skills aquired without practice. You have to train and train and then train again. First practice your dribbling and weaving. Buys some orange traingin cones their pretty cheap. Weave in and out slowly increasing your speed. Do it so you don't loose control of the ball. Keep it close to you. In and out in and out…. keep doing it until you can do it cleanly and at a moderate speed. This will take time, lots of time. By doing this repeatdly you will gain ball control, speed, and you will also be able to maneuver in traffic. Speed = Without the ball jog to warm up and stretch a lot then do lots of short sprints and long sprints. Start timing yourself and build on your times, always looking to beat your last time. Then jog some more to finish up. I like to jog up hills because your going against it so it builds leg strength and indurance. Give it a try, you'll notice how all of a sudden on the flat field your just a second quicker and sometimes that second counts for that perfect pass or that small window to kick that goal. My last thing play a lot of pick up games as many as you can nothing official, this will give you the confidence to play with others and improve your team game. I know what you mean when you say during practices you shine but game time you don't. It happens. Don't try to do everything because no one can, be a team player, pass the ball a lot so you can release some of that game pressure. Also don't be afraid to take chances. Try that spin move that I know you practice off the field for fun. About the crazy stuff at home, maybe, when your not concentrating 100% and something else is bothering you, then yes it can affect you but over all keep playing and have lots of patience, don't let no one give you crap or make you feel bad. Do what makes you feel good and if I didn't say it already. TRAIN & TRAIN & TRAIN!!!!

What load of crap answer lol many times you going to get a free kick on the 18 in a match more than likely it prolly wont happen in 5 matches never mind one so thats not something to work on but it all depends what your strenghts and weaknesses are right now. dont try and do things you dont usually do to impress jsut keep it simple you dont have to go beat 5 players to look good not what coaches are lookig for mind you if you could do that then great. but your posistion dont go were you dont have to. play simple passes , try keep the ball not to lose possesion , work on stuff you dotn think so good at and most important enjoy yourself well hope it helps

Actually professional runners use creatine to enhance their performance. If anything it will make you stronger on the field. As for the dehydration, lot of things you take in everyday can cause that. Salt, caffine etc. Just drink plenty of water, you're supposed to do that anyway while taking creatine. It helps enhance muscle mass and keeps you energized. Just be careful of the amount you take. Never take more than you're supposed to. And also give you're body a rest from it for about two weeks, then consume it all over again.

i know this feeling: first off the best advice i ever got from a coach in my mind is : "never be afraid of competition" ~ it should just push you to try harder.

Then work on what can make you a better player at your position. i.e. if you're a winger, show your speed and that you can cross the ball. Forward show a nose for goal and finishing ability. defender don't let anyone past you work harder. etc.

All these positions have individual drills to help them out. As a forward shooting drills at the corners. lots of vitamins. get a better first touch. as a midfielder you're a passer, practice passing, also dribbling and most importantly (and coaches love this, i know i'm a coach) show you can keep your head up when you play. defender get a forward friend and have each of you work your positions they try to get past you you try to stop them. doing the simple things that makes you a better player will make you more favorable with the coach.

Flash is always nice but the players who are liked the most by coaches are the ones they can rely on all the time.
