The Theory of Soccer Relativity
The famous scientist Einstein made up something called the Theory of Relativity, which tries to explain how matter causes space to curve. So theoretically, the next time you smash a bender, it is really the field that bends around your ball!
Don’t worry! We’re not going to learn that trick just yet! First you must learn our theory of Soccer Relativity that states just because you are one of the best players on your team—it doesn’t mean that you’re really that good! This sounds kind of harsh, but believe me, reality, and a well-timed tackle, can and will be harsher.
Well where is the logic then?—if you are a medium level player, playing with lower level players, it would seem that you are good and can run through the motions. But, if you were put on a team with high level players, what would your status be then?—Average?
That is the theory of Soccer Relativity—don’t get fooled into thinking something that your not. The only real indicator of the kind of player you are is how you perform with the ball and your teammates. Does the ball listen to you when you tell it to stop? Can you step on it and turn and keep your feet? Can you see what to do with the ball, and find your teammates, when it’s at your feet? Or, is the ball telling you what to do? Are you just reacting to the chaos around you?
Stop looking at your teammates and saying “well, I’m better then him, her, and her, and start saying “when the ball comes to my left foot, I feel strange and off balance.” At that point you will know what kind of player you really are—one that does well with both feet and looks quickly to distribute the ball!
Keep this in mind when you start comparing apples to oranges. Yes, you are good on this field and on this team, but how good would you be playing for the u15, u17, or Senior National Team? If you recognize that answer early, you will know where you are at in the game and what needs to be done—and raise your level of relativity.
