Like all sports, soccer comes down to one thing and one thing only: teamwork. If you gather the greatest soccer players of all time and put them all on the same team, but they do not work together, they will not be any good. Even if your team is stacked with the best players, they must learn to play with each other’s strengths to score goals and eventually win the game. In soccer, there's only really one way to achieve this harmony and that's with repeated training drills.
Any soccer player will agree with this. That is why most of the training and drills concern building teamwork and becoming a unit rather than individual players. The greatest coaches I have ever worked with fully understood this and in the end create teams where everyone knows their role.
A soccer team is like a puzzle; everyone fits nicely together and serves a purpose. I have had experiences with coaches who did not understand this and we would suffer because of this. Besides winning, building up team play and team morale is integral to communication and understanding among the team players. If they do not understand one another, and fight all the time, how do you expect them to play together on the field? It is through soccer training drills and exercises that a team can be built, and your own skills can be refined.
What do you need to do?
Whether you are a beginner or a more advanced player, running or taking part in soccer training drills is integral to enhancing yourself as a player. There is never a point you will reach where you won’t have to train. Right now, think of the best soccer player in the world, in your mind. They never stop training, even after all their success and wins, because they know the moment they stop the training drills is the moment they lose their momentum.
