Hey Tribe! First off, I want to give a huge shoutout to @Evgeny Polyvyannyy for sharing his struggle with us. This post was inspired by him, and I think it’s something we can all learn from. Evgeny’s Challenge: 1v1 Situations in Defense So, @Evgeny Polyvyannyy opened up about his biggest struggle: defending in 1v1 situations. Let’s be real, we’ve all been there. It’s that moment when you’re face-to-face with an attacker, and it feels like the whole game slows down, and it’s just you, the attacker, and the ball. It’s intense, right? Why 1v1 Defending is So Tough 1v1 defending is one of the most challenging aspects of football because it’s unpredictable. You’re trying to anticipate the attacker’s next move while staying balanced and ready to react. One misstep, and they’re past you. Plus, it’s not just about physical skills—it’s also about having the right mindset and confidence to stand your ground. Tips to Improve Your 1v1 Defending Game Here’s what I’ve found helpful for mastering those moments: 1. Get Your Stance Right Keep your knees slightly bent and stay on the balls of your feet. This will help you stay balanced and ready to move in any direction. Make sure your body is slightly angled, forcing the attacker toward your weaker side or towards the sideline. 2. Watch the Hips, Not the Feet Attacker’s feet can be tricky—deceptive movements and feints. Instead, focus on their hips. The hips don’t lie! They’ll give you a clearer indication of where they’re actually going. 3. Be Patient and Don’t Dive In Stay calm and composed. Often, attackers want you to commit first so they can exploit the space. Patience is key here. Wait for the right moment to make your move. 4. Use Your Arms Wisely Keep your arms out, not to foul, but to maintain a bit of distance and feel the opponent's movement. It’s all about being ready to create that contact if necessary without getting caught reaching in. 5. Improve Your Reaction Time

my goal is trying to get into my schools soccer team but I do the worst on keeping the ball at my feet and generally just dribbling overall. Any tips?

Guys I'm confused with discipline I hear many people the in order to build discipline we must start with the small task after doing small task we must progressive overload to make it challenging but some say you just have to go for the very hard tasks and just embrace pain to master it can make it simpler for to choose the better option
