This soccer tip comes from Soccer Skills Guru and 4skills.com Director Kamal de Gregory.
   
  Do players choose their positions? In some cases yes, but in most cases no. What normally happens to players is their coach assigns them positions due to their skill level in various soccer techniques
   
  For example, if a player is good at shooting he will be put as forward, if a player is good at defending he would probably be sent to play defense.
 

This is naturally how soccer positions are chosen all over the world. If you have the skills for a position, you will probably get to play that position.

What if you want to play another position that you are not so strong at?

Here is my advice. As with any job, find out what skills you need to do that job and then acquire those skills. It should make sense that once you have these skills, you at least have a good start at performing in that position.

To help you, I have broken each position down into their basic skill sets. From here, you can decide which positions that you can perform at well now and which skills you will need to get, to play better at your current position or a different one.

Position: Forward requires you to be good at these skill sets: Striking (shooting), turning, dribbling, trapping/receiving, heading.

To see the skills sets for the other positions and find out how to acquire these needed skills, click here.
