Last week I made the football team (Not intended) and was told that this Wednesday we will be playing a home match.
I hate football, im not very good at it, but im tall, which makes me a good headerer. I was put in striker, which is my weakest point on the pitch.
Im really worrying about this match, i dont enjoy playing football whatsoever, but I really would like to win this match.
Any advice?
In year 4 the same thing happened to me, and although I liked football I didn't like the idea of playing for the school team, and felt the same as you do. I was pretty tall for my age back the so was put in defence, and in all honesty really didn't want to play.
What happened? I was man of the match, marked the opposing striker out of the game, and played for every school year team till year 11! Later on in school life I lost my height advantage, so started playing first as a wing back, then as a holding midfielder, but still loved playing, and I played in some great games in my time as a player for my school teams, and now play for a Sunday league team. I also had trials for the Tranmere Rovers youth team when I was 10, but sadly that didn't work out.
So you should seriously go for it mate, and if you ever need any advice/tactics feel free to ask me.
