Do you want to know how to be a complete forward, which will help your football team a lot? In this short guide, you will discover some ways to improve your skills and become a better Ponta.
Steps
Part 1 of 4: Improving Your Speed
Step 1. Improve your speed
The most basic physical attribute a Prong should have is speed. With it, you will be able to go to the end line through the sides of the field, as Cristiano Ronaldo and Messi do. To improve your speed, follow the steps shown in this section.
Step 2. Ask a friend to place both of their hands on your shoulders
Step 3. Try to run with all your determination towards your friend as he tries to prevent you from doing so by using your hands on your shoulders
Step 4. Ask your friend to let go of you and move away from you
Move after about 10 seconds. The result should be you running much faster.
Step 5. Repeat this method at least 10 times a week
You will notice that your speed will increase in about a month. This method is widely used by athletes to increase their speed.
Part 2 of 4: Increasing Endurance
Step 1. Work your stamina
Another physical attribute a good Ponta must possess is endurance. One way to strengthen your endurance is to swim, in addition to running slowly for long distances at high altitudes. The first way increases the strength of your lungs, while the second increases the amount of red blood cells your body produces. These types of exercise increase the amount of oxygen your lungs can support when breathing.
Part 3 of 4: Ball Control and Agility
Step 1. Increase your agility
No Ponta would be a complete player without ball control and a lot of agility. How to improve these aspects? Simple - follow the suggestions in this section.
Step 2. Practice ball control daily, carrying it through tight spaces
A good place is your home - but avoid any damage to objects in the place or people.
Step 3. Make several turns with the ball and get used to the leg movements
The more you do them, the better your ball control will be, which is essential for a wing.
Step 4. Run
As far as agility is concerned, you can sprint weekly. Time your time and always try to improve it.
You can also learn some moves and dribbling by watching tutorials and videos on YouTube
Step 5. Train your non-dominant foot
You need to be able to pass, dribble and kick with both feet. Many of the best strikers in the world have the same skills on the ball with both feet. They are capable of grabbing and kicking or passing the ball in a curve. Work so that your non-dominant foot can handle the ball perfectly. It may feel awkward at first, but with training, every move will become more natural.
Part 4 of 4: Positioning
Step 1. Look for space when your team has possession of the ball
Run into space and do this often.
Step 2. Use your eyesight to help find spaces without getting in the way
Place yourself in these spaces regularly at the right times.
Step 3. Have someone make the pass for you in this space on the field
If you are on the edge, cross or try to invade the area, complementing with a dribble or pass.
