How do you become a more physical soccer player. i play traveling soccer and im 12?
There are plenty of opportunities to be physical in soccer. One thing you can do is get your body on a player you’re marking when you’re playing defense. Shoulder to shoulder contact on tackles is allowed as well and is an effective means to knock the opposing player off the ball. Slide tackles as well, though they are a last ditch tackle because the take you out of the play if you miss. Also, on any tackle you attempt to take the ball away, you can get some contact as well. I’ll say this though, playing physical is a mindset more than anything else.
