How to be an expert in Soccer?

I've been playing soccer since I was 9 years old. Now days I'm training in an academy in Bogota every weekend. Now Im going to shared with you some steps to be an expert in soccer.

1) Practice. Try to see if you can go to a park to practice. Ask some friends if they want to play with you or a sibling. Try to make practicing fun! Not only must you practice, but you have to also be serious. Try to practice every day.

2) Juggle the ball, and try to strengthen your legs. To juggle a soccer ball, just try to keep it in the air with any part of your body, except your hands, for as long as possible. Use your knees and try to count how many juggles you can do; try to beat your record every time.

3) Join a team. You can get better and play games. Rec soccer is a great place to start. If you're on a competitive team, you should also join a rec one so you can have twice the practice and games.

4)Go to a camp. They teach you a lot and you can learn from other players. The coaches take time out to teach you extra things if you're really good.
