For the Young Soccer Star

Always wear your shin guards in games; always play your hardest; never give up; when slide tackling for the ball always put one leg behind you; never let the other team score; always use your laces when shooting; don’t act like your too cool for your team; always bond with your teammates; never be a ball hog, no one likes a ball hog; always help when someone needs it; always be open on the field; create space when you pass the ball; when playing up, never get caught off sides; never lift your foot up while throwing in the ball; never touch the ball with your hands when you are playing on the field unless you are the goalie; if you are goalie always pay attention to what the other team is doing; always mark your man, and when you do not have a man, mark the open space; always envision what will happen in a play, and always plan ahead; never get to cocky, no one them either; always see who you are playing to; always plan ahead, and if your plan does not work make something up; always be a team player; never forget what team you play for; always remember the name on the front of your jersey is more important than the one on the back.
