Danny Smell – The Player From HELL!
Posted by: | CommentsHave you ever come across an opponent who scares the sh*t out of you? I know I did in my younger days. And I remember when I did meet someone like him I’d definitely drift out of the game because I was a whimp – the main flaw in my footballing talent!
How do you deal with players like this? You totally focus on your game and ignore any snide remarks Danny Smell would make.
Here’s a few of my favourite ‘focus’ quotes:
The first rule of focus is this: “Wherever you are, be there.” Unknown
“The sun’s energy warms the world.
But when you focus it through a magnifying glass it can start a fire. Focus is so powerful!” Alan Pariser
“I once heard someone say that success is not hocus pocus but focus focus.” David DeNotaris
Soccer Motivators or Footy Motivators!?
Posted by: | CommentsI have a serious dilemma that I really need your help with. As mentioned a couple of posts ago, I am just putting the finishing touches to my book of motivational cartoons and quotes and can’t decide on the title. Should I go for Soccer Motivators(Like the name of this site.) or Footy Motivators? The problem is, it’s footy-football in all parts of the world except for the USA where it is soccer. I purchased both domain names Soccermotivators.com and Footymotivators.com and went for the former with this blog – can’t remember why I chose it.(You get these memory problems when you get to my age!)
So here’s where I need your help! Have a look at these covers:
WHICH IS IT TO BE? Please give me your answer via the pop-up survey.
News Flash! Someone has informed me that the pop-up isn’t popping up. I don’t know what’s gone wrong there – can you just leave me your thoughts on the ‘Comments’? Thanks!
Soccer – 9 Reasons to Learn Freestyle Soccer
Posted by: | Comments9 Reasons to Learn Freestyle Soccer Written By Thiago De Carvalho
Ever thought about why you should learn freestyle soccer? Maybe here are a few reasons why…
Improve Your Ball Control
Imagine having the ability to go past players at will? It has been proven over the years that practising freestyle soccer can substantially improve your ball control. Just ask Ronaldinho.
Obtain Killer Reflexes
Many freestyle tricks involve speed and good eye co-ordination. The more difficult the tricks you perform the more speed and eye co-ordination you’ll require, so without a doubt you’ll obtain killer reflexes.
Increase Your Fitness Levels
Not a fan of long distance running? Freestyle soccer can be the ideal exercise for you because you spend most of the time moving on the same spot. This doesn’t mean you won’t get a good work out though, trying complicated tricks for long periods of time can certainly tire you out.
Impress Your Friends
If you’re the type of person who likes to put on a show, you’re going to love freestyle soccer. The more you practise your freestyle tricks the more you’ll be able to amaze your friends with a dazzling array of tricks on and off the field.
Unlock The Meanest Defence
Discover the key to unlocking the baddest and meanest defences on the planet. Who will be able to stop you from cutting holes when your skills are as sharp as razor blades. The tools that you’ll have at your disposal (once knowing how to freestyle) cannot be underestimated.
Score More Goals
Having difficulty creating goal scoring opportunity’s from long balls and sizzling crosses? Well, maybe it’s because you’re lacking the maneuverability to set yourself up in front of goal with a first time deft touch. Freestyle soccer can prepare you for any type of ball you receive, whether it’s high in the air or low on the ground.
Humiliate Your Opponents
Don’t think twice about wiping the floor with your opponents. Freestyle soccer skills will give you the power to annihilate your enemies when you feel it’s necessary.
Decide The Outcome
How would you like to be able to change the result of a soccer match in a matter of seconds, not only once but again and again? Practice your freestyle soccer moves daily and you’re guaranteed to produce moments of magic on the pitch.
Become A Star
When you become brilliant at freestyle soccer, make your own soccer video and post it on to websites like YouTube and Metacafe. One famous soccer performer (Tsatsulow) became a star by generating over 10 million views with his soccer video.

The Queen of Soccer – Mia Hamm Biography
Posted by: | CommentsThe Queen of Soccer – Mia Hamm Biography
By Niv Orlian
Women’s soccer never would have been the same if Mia Hamm hadn’t started up soccer when she was little. She had such an impact on women’s soccer that she is often thought to mean as much for it as Pele or Cruyff meant for men’s soccer. But before being a great soccer player and athlete that broke down almost every possible record at her level, Mia Hamm is a great person and I’d like you to meet the human behind the soccer god in this Mia Hamm biography.
If you’re like me, you’re probably wondering how and when did Mia Hamm start playing soccer and what events drove her to become a super star of women’s soccer. Mia Hamm’s childhood circled around sports and athleticism and as her brother recalled, she was faster and more athletic than most of the boys on the block, so she was able to play competitively with and against them.
After taking up youth soccer training at her school’s football team when she was only 12 years old, she learned the basics of soccer and started enjoying the sport more and more. Little did she know that three years later, when she was just 15, she would be called up for the United States national women’s soccer team, becoming the youngest player ever to play for her country at that level (one of her first broken records).
That was kind of a weird situation, since Mia Hamm was a soccer player for her national squad but didn’t have a fully professional playing contract with a club. But after seeing her performances, the North Carolina Tar Heels quickly signed her and they made quite a deal, since Mia Hamm stayed with the club for 4 seasons, scoring over 100 goals during her time here.
Probably one of Mia Hamm’s most important accomplishments is that she managed to bring women’s soccer to a level close to what men are playing. She is one of the two women named in Pele’s “List of 125 Best Soccer Players of All Times” and she is a symbol of women’s sports throughout the World.
She also holds two FIFA World Player of the Year awards, which she got in 2001 (the first year the trophy was given) and 2002. Unfortunately, she would have gotten a lot more of these awards, but with the World Player of the Year awards being granted for women when Mia Hamm was already nearing the end of her career, she didn’t really have a chance to widen her trophy room.
In numbers, Mia Hamm was the United States top goal scorer, with 158 goals in 275 matches, a remarkable record that will probably dust and rust before it is beaten. She scored more goals than any man or woman for her national team, although many soccer specialists will agree that the level of women’s soccer is still in an early grade and cannot be compared to men’s soccer yet.
She won the Women’s World Cup twice, in 1991 and 1999 and also put the US national team through a Gold Medal at the Olympic Games in 1996. All these titles, records and awards make Mia Hamm one of the most important players in women’s soccer and the fact that Pele considered to put her on the same list as legendary male players such as Maradona, Cruyff, Platini or Beckenbauer says a lot about the influence she had in the game.
