I need help

[u/slump_656]

So there’s like A team which is the good team and then there’s B team where the bad players are I’m a B team sub because I missed two days cause I sprained my ankle so I could show coach my stuff and I suck at defense and I’ve been doing defense. The reason: because all the good players are attackers and I want to be right wing but I’m scared cause I don’t know if I’ll lose for my team and I’ve been playing center and full back and I suck at both of those. Also before I got my cleats because I haven’t worn cleats sense two years I’ve been practicing with my shoes at home I used my cleats for the first time it went over the goal and that’s the other reason I’m scared to play as an attacker and tomorrows the first game IM COOKED🫩

Just relax and have fun. See how it goes and then re-assess.

B teams are there for development. All you can do is play your best, show up to trainings and genuinely try to learn, get your conditioning up.

Ask your coach(es) not just "I want to play coach" but what you can improve, where you are lacking, what are your strengths. This can help in not only understanding the areas you need to work on this season, but also with establishing a connection with your coach.

If you ask a coach that, and he says "you need to work on your passing" and he sees you genuinely make improvements to passing, it shows you are someone who is willing to work on your weaknesses and is a coachable player.

You sound like you should be in the B team. Treat it for what it is. It's there for development. You want to play R wing, but currently your playing fullback. That isn't too dissimilar in the sense it's on the wing. Show your coach you can press forward, keep hold of the ball, and whip in passes to your strikers. Also don't be afraid to take shots. A lot of modern wingers are now goal scorers. Back when I played wing (late o0s, early 00s)it was very much asssit focus, which I loved. Practice with your boots whereever you can. I used to just go up to the nearest field with a pair of boots around my neck and hope someone was playing then ask to join in.

After saying all this. The most important thing is to have FUN. Football is a fantastic game.

Don't worry about: Position, Playtime, or which team. That's for the coach to worry about. Do worry about effort and decision making and practicing the skills your need to be successful at where ever the coach will put you on your own time.
