Starting Off With Football

Quite a few kids have this question. Firstly, they know football or they like football and they want to learn. The next big idea is becoming a professional footballer. At this point people say, “European football pays more! Find your way there!”. This is certainly true but there is more in this. You just can’t jump into European football from nowhere! You need to start off from square one and then make your way to the top.

The ideal age to start is between 6 and 8 years. The basic mantra is to join a local football club or play with your local gang of guys regularly. This puts you in a position to play with and play in a team. Team spirit is really important and this begins to cultivate from the beginning. Next comes the physical fitness and exercises. You must have guessed that you need to have strong legs to be a good footballer, but that is only the tip of the iceberg. Important aspects of being a footballer are stamina,speed and acceleration. How can Lionel Messi run from one end of the field to another in a counter attack and score? That is because he has exceptional amount of stamina and yes speed with acceleration. Building stamina, speed and acceleration takes a long time. You will need to work for long hours for that, but trust me, its worth every bit! If you have joined a local club, then your coach will help you in this with the routine that you have to go under as it differs from person to person. If everything goes right, you will soon be faster than you ever thought!

Next comes the selection into your starting eleven. You must have figured out that this is a difficult task as you have to please your coach by showing him the right moves and your skills. Once you get your place, you have to make sure that there is no turning back. This can be ensured by continuing your training and taking it to a higher level. After you have made it to the starting eleven, make sure that you cement your place with some good performances. Also, stay at that club for at least a couple of years before moving away. Many don’t like kids moving away after just a few months or a year.

Making sure that you have passed the first level, go forward to the next. By this time, quite a few scouts must have shown interest in you. After around two years with your club, look for a move. Preferably look for a better club or look for a club that is doing well. Complete your move and you have entered a new era! Your performances at this club will surely boost your chances of playing in the best leagues in the world. At this stage, it is recommended that you keep in touch with top coaches and try to secure a place in your junior national team. Once you secure a place in the junior national team, your are most likely to be on a plane for a trip to one of the most prestigious clubs in the world. Your journey doesn’t end there, you have many more trophies like the league title and the prestigious champions league to conquer. Hope for the best and step into the shoes of a modern footballer. I wish you all the best.

Cycling at The Velodrome

Cycling is having a tough time of it at the moment. The world seems to be against everything to do with cycling, except the part that helps save the planet.

Motorists hate cyclists as they claim they slow the traffic down and take up too much of the road, for which the cyclist pays no tax for the up keep (although a cyclist would have to go some to create half as much damage to the roads as a car) as well as this it appears that probably the greatest annual cycling event, The Tour de France, is riddled with drugs cheats.

The sport’s governing body appears to be getting to grips with the cheats but maybe it’s too little too late, only time will tell.

I used to race bikes in my earlier years and I loved it. Unfortunately I gave up racing competitively back in my 20’s due to work and family commitments but I always longed to get back into the sport.

Every year I holiday in Italy which as you may know is full of cyclists as well as the Giro d’Italia, probably the world’s second most famous bike race.

Each year I see the Lycra clad cyclist’s out training in the warm summer sun equipped with all the latest gear longing to be back on my bike, it’s like seeing an old girlfriend for whom you still have feelings for out with her latest beau…

So imagine my joy when my youngest son got the opportunity to race with his school at the local Velodrome, I could actually get close up and involved in cycling again.

We arrived at the Velodrome in plenty of time to take in the atmosphere, it isn’t that big but it’s pretty impressive with its steep banking and sleek corners. I fell in love with it there and then; I had to have a go.

So it was with great excitement that I booked myself on a taster session the following Sunday. Included in the fee was bike and safety helmet hire so all I had to do was get myself some cycling shoes, although you can use trainers as the bikes have toe straps, and some clothing.

Sunday was soon here and the anticipation was fantastic. I arrived early to ensure I got a nice bike, and more importantly one that fitted me.

I needn’t have been too worried the Velodrome has a good selection of bikes of all sizes. I got kitted up and away I went.

It was amazing! Flying down the wooded boarded track and into the corners you could feel the g – force holding you to the turn.

The hour that I was booked on for went by in a flash. I was like a kid at Christmas; my poor girlfriend had to listen to the same stories over and over again.

For those of you not familiar with track cycling the bicycle that you use has what is known as a fixed gear which means as you peddle the back wheel is turned but unlike a standard bicycle where if you chose to stop peddling you can free wheel a track bike chain is fixed directly to the back wheel meaning if the back wheel is going round so are your legs.

There is no free-wheeling on the track, its hard work all the way round. I’ve really caught the cycling bug again, my son and I go out for rides each Saturday now, I ride at the Velodrome every Sunday and my son rides there during the school holidays.

If you’re looking for a sport to get into that’s very friendly and is open to all levels of experience and fitness why not give track cycling a go. You don’t have to put up with angry, frustrated motorists and it never rains indoors at the Velodrome.

By the way, my son won his first competition that he was entered into by his school, but he can’t beat me, yet.
