Look if you are defensive I would say you need to work on your kicking when the ball is going around 20 kilometers an hour and the accuracy don't kick with your toes unless.... You are super accurate like myself I'm defense and goalie i played 1 game as a forward but in my games where in premiers highest rank in soccer there is I scored a goal from 10 meters before halfway line but sprained my ankle so if u practice power and speed accuracy you should be able at least kick from halfway line to 18 yard box keepers box ok a site for defense...how to be a good back in soccer if your a centre practice that and stamina you will decently need all of these look up how to be a good mid fielder forwards you need all these and you got to be smart and and a good shot look up how to be a good forward now the goalie is the best Player on the field you got to dive punch batten and jump punch the ball over the top bar with a jump dive to a side with a batter to make the ball go out to the side dive to catch etc and look up how to do soccer techniques/moves message me for sports! Hope I helped

Youtube is a good idea. Try both soccer and football skills, tactics, tricks, etc.

Beyond that, I would suggest a few very basic things that any beginner should practice.

1. Running with the ball at your feet. This means running while never allowing the ball to be more than a few inches from your feet. So, small taps as you run. Harder than it sounds.

2. Same as above but around cones.

3. Practice trapping the ball. That means getting it under control in one smooth movement. Have someone pass you the ball (both along the ground and at different heights) and learn to trap it so that it lands right in front of you. That usually means using the side of your foot, but if the ball comes higher it can also mean using your chest.

Check these out:

Notice in the second vid how the ball lands (for the most part) nicely right in front of his foot... perfectly under control. I cannot emphasise how important this is for any position on the pitch.

4. Basic passing skills. There are many drills for this, but at the most basic level it can be two or three people passing the ball along the ground, back and forth. Learn both two touch and one touch, i.e. one touch to trap and one touch to pass, or passing the ball straight back without trapping.


Beyond this it depends also what position you play. But of course shooting drills are always a good idea, same with tackling, heading, set pieces, high passes, tactics, etc. But what I listed above is a very good basic technique level which will get you quite far. Any decent football player has to be able to trap, pass, and move decently with the ball.

Another thing that never hurts is to watch football on tv and pay attention to why they play the way they play. This can help understand the tactical side of things. And of course, there are numerous resources on youtube and the net in general.

Good luck.
