Ummm, you're good, but only when you're not playing a game?

You'll never know if the moves you say you can do will work if you don't try them. And you'll also never get any confidence if you don't try things out during practice, pickup, or actual matches. I really don't know what to tell ya if you aren't gonna suck it up and go try out these moves.

Editing to add: If you ARE going to try a move during match play, make sure you do it in the offensive third of the field.

Just Do It... (hehe, wasn't that Nike's motto for a while?) When I try a new move during a game, I do kind of feel nervous, but I do it anyways. The other day at a tournament, I finally had the chance to do a Bicycle Kick, so I did one. (but I barely hit the ball and our team lost control of it) And the day before, I got up the courage to try a Maradona, but again, I messed up and the other team took control of the ball. But you won't get better unless you try it. It isn't that hard. NOW GO DO A RAINBOW!!!

I really disagree Hollister, I think you need to find an arena to try out all your moves until you're completely confident with them, whether it be at training, by yourself on the street or in a non-competetive match with friends.

When I was at school we used to play a game on the basketball courts every lunch time. This is where I'd just try and use tricks. Sometimes I'd even set myself, 'okay, I'm only going to do this move ALL match'.

But still, you hafta be so good and confident with your skill to be able to use it. I know when I'm playing at the highest levels I've played, it would be very unusual for me to use a step-over even. Whereas when I go back to and play club soccer with friends, this stuff just comes naturally. That's why i think it's all about being ABOVE THE LEVEL YOU'RE PLAYING if you want to dominate

just try out ur moves at practice against ur own team. that way, if u do screw up, then it won't make much of a difference. thats wut i always do. if i see a nice move on tv or a freestyle video, i'll try it out on my team mates, and if i can do it on them consistently, then i'd probaly be able to do it in a game.

[Hollister_13]

Well, Dizzee Wahil, new star said that he/she could do the moves. They just needed to do them in games. My best advice is to do them in games. But, you are right about that practice with your friends thing. That is where I usually practice. Thanks, I forgot about that part... But, still, if you CAN do the moves by yourself, the best thing to do is try them in a real game.

[Dizzee Wahil]

Yes, but there is a difference between thinking you can do the moves, ie. being able to do them in your living room, and really being able to do them on the big stage. Doing moves which you aren't fully versed in, in a competetive match, is just doing wrong by the rest of your team-mates. I'm not tryin to eat you out Hollister, but it is a lesson everyone needs 2 learn

I agree. It's very different to do a move around say, a cone, a lamp in your house, or a tree then it is to do a move around an aggresive defender during match play.

WEldone now Go and Do it remember all that what we said to you feel free to say YES and move on..

The more confident you become with your skills, the less you'll think about it when playing.

A shot like a bicycle kick can only be performed when the situation presents itself and you are prepared for it. Otherwise you will never think about perfroming a bicycle kick - you'll think of something else.

Practice ball-control, 1st touches, etc. so that when it's time to play, you'll be a more capable, confident player.
