Havent read the whole thread but if you want to get better, one word of advice.
Clinics
Get to as many pro clinics as you can
hmm since im here i'll add more than just one word
Dont complain if it's raining
dont mind getting wet
Dont complain if you have to travel more then 3 hours to train
hmm 3 hours might be abit far seein as i'm only 18 and in full time ed.
Dont complain that theres no fields on your door step
closest one is 11 miles which isnt too bad or a new one has just opened round the corner but dont know if it's any good
Get out there and get training
i'm trying!!
Make sure your with a team that wants to get better ans just doesnt talk about it
have to wait untill i'm in a team for that one
if your doing all of the above your on the right track
so far so good
