Often when parents or coaches want a player to do good, they will put a lot of pressure on that player to perform well. The player will look soccer as a job or duty, rather than something fun. Ask yourself these questions: Why did you start playing soccer? Why do you love soccer? What do you love about soccer? What would you do if you had to stop playing? What if you chose to stop playing? Who wants you to play soccer more - yourself or someone else? Why do you need to play well? If you want to love soccer, you have to play it only for yourself, and know why you love it. I loved playing soccer because of the friendship of the team, the adrenaline rush, and getting into the zone during a game. It's the only part of high school I really miss. Luckily no one ever pressured me to play well, just to have fun. Have fun with it while you can.
