Develop team worlt. A side of moderate players working as a harmonised whole will always beat eloven "erucks" specially picked for an occasion.
Don't try to walk the ball Into Shoot hard and often. goal. Dribbling may look pretty, but it's goals that count,
Practice Trapping. Control of the ball is half the battle,
Keep the bull low. A pass through the air, remember, is generally cleared.

Don't run with the bull towards your cwn goal. If you cannot pro- gress, you should have parted long since.
Don't head the ball if you can kick It. Not only is the game sumed football, but you can make far better use of the ball,
Don't hesitate when tackling. Go In at once. Don't give your adversary a chance to survey the field.
Help your wingers all you can. Don't pass directly to or behind them; allow them to take the ball on the run.
Study the art of heading. It is an art. Have you ever noticed a small player consistently taking the ball of the head of a much
