Do you work hard but don't eat right? Research has shown that soccer players that eat right tend to do significantly better in certain aspects of a game. Proper sports nutrition combined with excellent training habits will boost your game to the top. Invest the time and energy into moving your game to the next level.
Soccer nutrition consists of the proper mix of nutrients. You must eat lots of carbohydrates in soccer nutrition. Trying to play soccer on a low carbohydrate diet could result in fatigue setting in much sooner than you want. Another part of soccer nutrition is to eat proteins and fats. Just try to keep to the healthy type of all types of food as much as possible. Skip good soccer nutrition and you results in games could be diminished significantly.

Menjadi bintang bolasepak tidak semestinya anda akan selesa di atas padang tanpa perlu mengeluarkan titik peluh yang banyak. Pemain-pemain hebat di Eropah kebanyakkannya bermain bermatian di atas padang berjuang untuk kemenangan TANPA MENGIRA STATUS BINTANG MEREKA.
Semangat sebegini harus diteladani pemain-pemain Malaysia. Pemain-pemain hebat ini seolah-olah akan bersatu jiwa dengan bola bila bola berada di kaki mereka. Berlari segenap padang untuk mendapatkan bola.
Pemain-pemain yang disenaraikan antara paling bekerja keras adalah seperti Alfredo Di Stefano, Josef Masopust, Dave Mackay, Giacinto Facchetti, Berti Vogts, Johan Cruyff, Toninho Cerezo, Ivan Zamorano dan Luis Enrique. Mereka semua ini legenda.
Sekarang kita boleh lihat kesungguhan pemain seperti Gennaro Gattuso, Daniele De Rossi, Jakub Blaszczykowski, Torsten Frings, Dirk Kuyt dan Carlos Tevez yang hampir mengharungi setiap penjuru padang. Kita boleh lihat juga bagaimana Rooney berlari dari bawah mendapatkan bola walaupun beliau seorang penyerang ataupun Gerrard yang hampir tak pernah berhenti berlari sepanjang perlawanan.
Demikianlah beberapa nama yang dikenal pasti. Seharusnya menjadi ikutan kepada pemain-pemain negara kita. Yang semestinya ramai lagi pemain-pemain antarabangsa yang bermain bersunguh-sungguh untuk pasukan masing-masing. Kerana apa? Kerana semangat dan kerana wang juga mungkin..Dengan berakhirnya cita-cita rakyat Malaysia untuk melihat sekurang-kurangnya skuad bola sepak Malaysia memberikan cabaran untuk layak ke Piala Dunia baru-baru ini, sekali lagi kita diajak untuk berfikir mengenai realiti bola sepak di negara kita. Di manakah puncanya prestasi skuad negara dari hari ke hari semakin merudum? Negara-negara lain yang suatu masa dahulu kecut dengan kejaguhan skuad kita, semakin lama semakin jauh meninggalkan Malaysia terutamanya dari segi ranking. Skuad negara kita kini berada di kedudukan ke 166 dunia dengan jumlah kedudukan keseluruhan ialah sebanyak 200. Bermakna kita hanya tinggal 34 tempat sahaja lagi untuk menghuni tempat tercorot dalam ‘ranking dunia’. (Sumber: Laman Web Rasmi Fifa)
Dengan berlakunya perubahan tampuk pimpinan FAM(Malaysia Football Association) baru-baru ini, kelibat muka baru iaitu Khairy Jamaluddin berjaya memegang jawatan Timbalan Presiden FAM. Selaku seorang ahli politik yang mula terkenal kerana program MyTeam, Khairy dilihat mempunyai bakat dan kepimpinan untuk menaikkan semula martabat bola sepak Malaysia di mata dunia.
Permulaan bagi Khairy agak memberangsangkan dengan skuad bawah 23 tahun Malaysia berjaya menjuarai Piala Merdeka. Pada ketika ini, rakyat Malaysia seakan diberi sedikit harapan untuk terus percaya yang skuad bola sepak negara akan kembali bangkit. Namun begitu ternyata kemenangan pada Kejohanan Piala Merdeka tidak dapat dilihat sebagai satu tanda kebangkitan apabila Malaysia tewas mudah kepada Bahrain dalam pusingan kelayakan Piala Dunia.
Di manakah sebenarnya silap bola sepak negara kita? Adakah dari segi pentadbiran? Ataupun dari segi komitmen pemain-pemain kebangsaan kita sendiri? Mungkinkah jurulatih skuad negara yang sering bertukar ganti selama ini tidak cukup bagus untuk membawa kita selangkah lebih baik? Adakah kerana kurangnya sokongan daripada rakyat Malaysia sendiri?
Kita mampu untuk menunding jari menyalahkan orang lain atas permasalahan yang menimpa skuad Harimau Malaya ini. Rakyat menyalah pemain yang kurang komitmen, pemain menyalahkan jurulatih yang kurang berkemampuan dan pihak pengurusan pula menyalahkan rakyat yang tidak memberi sokongan kepada skuad negara. Selagi kita tidak berganding bahu serta berhenti menyalahkan sesama sendiri selagi itulah skuad bola sepak Malaysia akan berada di takuk ini.
Selagi ada kemahuan selagi itu ada jalan. Marilah kita sama-sama mengembalikan zaman kegemilangan bola sepak Malaysia. Bagaiamana caranya? Sama-samalah kita fikirkan. Majulah bola sepak untuk negara.

Hundreds of millions of soccer fans are now tuning in to the World Cup, where they'll see, not just exciting games, but a fascinating display of scientific principles.
Let's start with the ball. The basic physics haven't changed: when a ball is kicked, the side that's kicked flattens out, then snaps back into shape, hurling the ball away. But this year's ball, the Fevernova, is new.
The Fevernova is covered with polyurethane instead of leather. Beneath that is syntactic foam, consisting of equal-sized, highly elastic gas-filled microcells, designed to give the ball more bounce, so it travels faster, and ensure the same amount of energy is returned wherever the ball is kicked, making the ball's flight more accurate and predictable. A woven mesh surrounds the central rubber bladder, designed to keep the ball from deforming when kicked, so it won't veer in flight. Adidas says the ball is 25 percent more precise and 10 percent faster than the ball used in the 1998 World Cup...but some players find it too light, springy, and hard to control.
How the ball travels depends on the position of the kicker's foot relative to the center of the ball. If the foot is above the center of the ball, the ball will roll along the ground. If the foot hits in the center, the ball will skid across the ground until friction slows it to a roll. If the foot hits below the center of the ground, the ball becomes airborne.
A kicker can put spin on the ball to make it curve by kicking it off-center with the instep or outside of his foot. A right-footed kick will drift right to left when kicked with the instep and left to right when kicked with the outside of the foot.
A spinning ball curves primarily because of the Magnus Effect. Spinning the ball on an axis perpendicular to the ground causes the flow of air to be faster on one side than the other. This results in a different amount of push on one side than the other, and thus the ball curves in flight. Spinning the ball on the axis parallel to the ground actually causes the ball to fly straighter, because irregularities in the surface of the ball are averaged out. (A soccer ball kicked with no spin at all tends to bobble and weave.)
Soccer balls will often slow dramatically in flight. This is because in early flight, the ball is moving very quickly and is surrounded by a turbulent air flow. As the ball slows down, the turbulence vanishes and the airflow becomes smooth, which more than doubles drag, suddenly slowing the ball even more. Exactly when in the flight this transition from turbulent to smooth airflow happens is affected by the ball's velocity, the spinning rate, and the surface seam pattern of the ball. Good players take this effect into account instinctively, using it to make seemingly impossible shots that dip at the last minute into the goal.
Even the best player's best kick can go to waste if an assistant referee claims the player was offside--that is, that there were fewer than two players between himself and the goal (one of whom is typically the goalie) when the ball was passed to him. Research in the Netherlands found that linesmen in the Dutch professional league incorrectly judged 40 of 200 potential offside scenarios. That's because the player furthest away appears closer to the goal to the assistant referee than the closer player. Unless the assistant referee is lined up with the second last defender as the attacker approaches, its easy to call someone on the far side of the defender offside when he really isn't--or let someone who is closer get away with being offside when he really should be called for it.
The defense's last hope is the skill of the goalie. In Liverpool, Mark Williams of John Moore's University had both expert and amateur goalkeepers watch goalie's-eye videos of players taking penalty shots, and move a joystick in the direction they expected the ball to go before the ball crossed the line. The expert goalies "saved" one-third of the penalties, while the amateurs saved only one-quarter. Further analysis showed that the amateur's eyes tended to flick all over the kicker's body, while experts focused on the kicker's legs, picking up unconscious cues of which way the kicker would kick.
Like everything else in soccer, it all comes down to training and practice.
And, of course, science.
Menurut Organisasi Kesihatan Dunia atau ‘World Health Organization’ (WHO) kecergasan adalah ‘kebolehan melakukan sebarang kerja tanpa rasa penat, serta mempunyai cukup tenaga untuk berekreasi dan mempunyai lebihan tenaga untuk melalui peristiwa kecemasan’.
Atau dalam ertikata lain, KECERGASAN juga boleh ditakrifkan sebagai kebolehan seseorang individu melakukan sebarang perkara melibatkan fizikal atau mental tanpa rasa penat. Sebagai tambahan juga WHO mentafsir kecergasan harus ada elemen aktiviti fizikal melalui senaman atau aktiviti rekreasi. Selain itu, seseorang yang benar-benar cergas harus ada keupayaan untuk berdepan dengan keadaan cemas seperti apabila Amir berhadapan dengan anjing yang sedang marah lalu mengejarnya dan Amir berjaya melepaskan diri daripada anjing tersebut setelah melompat satu batang longkang yang besar tanpa menyedarinya. Contoh ini boleh membuktikan bahawa Amir adalah seorang yang cergas.
Selain itu, saya juga boleh memberi contoh lain menurut takrifan WHO itu bahawa Presiden George W. Bush juga cergas apabila dapat mengelak 2 balingan tepat sepasang kasut oleh seorang wartawan
Dalam bolasepak pula, contoh terbaik ialah apabila situasi di jatuhkan pihak lawan ketika melompat tinggi untuk menanduk bola. Pada kebiasaannya pemain akan jatuh kebawah dan yang membezakan pemain cergas atau tidak ialah pemain yang tidak cergas sepenuhnya akan jatuh dengan kecederaan yang maksimum manakala pemain yang cergas akan lebih selamat. Ini kerana elemen yang ada dalam kecergasan membantunya untuk bertindak balas melalui titik keseimbangan yang lebih optimum secara optimum.
Justeru, persoalannya ADAKAH ANDA CERGAS?
Bagaimanakah anda tahu tentang kecergasan anda? Atau bagaimana saya ingin tahap kecergasan saya dipertingkatkan? Dan pelbagai lagi persoalan yang timbul berkenaan itu. Lantaran itu, sepanjang musim 24 keluaran seterusnya akan saya rungkaikan satu persatu daripada elemen kecergasan sehingga bagaimana cara senaman yang betul dan proses membuat program kecergasan.

It should be noted that there is a difference between a centre forward and a striker and these two roles are easily confused, although they do share similarities. A striker is better known for making runs to beat defenders, trying to beat the offside trap and playing close to the goal area. They are typically recognised as quick, with good reaction speed and given few defensive responsibilities. This contrasts with the centre forward's different style of holding up play and leading the front line.
Inexperienced coaches often ask what "the best formation" is. There isn't one. A formation is supposed to make optimal use of your player's abilities. Since these abilities vary from one squad to another, the "best formation" is the one which most suits your available players.
4-4-2
This is a very popular and versatile formation whose variations permit the use of a sweeper or wingers. Many teams today use their own version of this system. The main strength of 4-4-2 is the defense-midfield interaction. The weakness is the two lone forwards who have to be constantly supported by the midfield.
4-4-2 is a bit more complicated in terms of off-the-ball movement compared to systems with three forwards such as 4-3-3 or 3-4-3. As mentioned above, one of the main offensive issues with 4-4-2 is that there are only two attackers playing upfront. In most cases, that is not enough to stretch apart an enemy defensive line of usually 4 opponents or more. To accommodate, you need to get your outside midfielders running up to the forward line. Whenever your team is building up an attack on one wing, the midfielder on the opposite side has to run up towards the enemy's far post (their blind spot)
4-3-3
This formation is commonly used by Dutch and youth squads. It allows the use of a sweeper and designates one player as a striker.
4-3-3 is easier for younger players to follow as opposed to 4-4-2. With 4-3-3, you need to have your outside forwards dropping back and helping with the build-up. It's very important to keep these guys near the sideline. Younger players tend to force the ball through the middle of the field. They need to learn to build up attacks by playing the ball outside and forward (not directly through the middle of the pitch)
3-4-3
3-4-3 is a classic formation, considered offensive by today's standards. In this system, one striker must consistently stay on the tip of the attack. He therefore should be able to hold his ground. In defense, the three fullbacks must work together as a unit. At least one midfielder needs to drop back and play in front of the defensive line. His job is to constantly pressure the ball so that the defense is never caught in a compromising position.
4-5-1
This formation crowds nearly all parts of midfield slowing down enemy attacks. From an offensive point of view, the system relies on wing attacks supported by the midfield. The downside is that the lone striker is left on his own up front and may become isolated.
3-5-2
Relatively modern formation that developed in response to the popular 4-4-2. It utilizes more efficiently the fourth fullback who frequently has little to do when defending against only two attackers.
A sprained ankle or twisted ankle as it is sometimes known is a common cause of ankle pain. A sprain is stretching and or tearing of ligaments (you sprain a ligament and strain a muscle). The most common is an inversion sprain (or lateral ligament sprain) where the ankle turns under so the sole of the foot faces inwards, damaging the ligaments on the outside of the ankle.
A medial ligament sprain is rare but can occur particularly with a fracture. This happens when the ankle rolls the other way, so the sole of the foot faces outwards, damaging the ligaments on the inside of the ankle.
The most common damage sustained in a sprained ankle is to the anterior talo-fibula ligament shown towards the front of the image opposite. This ligament, as the name suggests, connects the talus (ankle bone) with the fibula (smaller of the two bones in the lower leg). If the sprain is severe there might also be damage to the calcaneo-fibula ligament (connects the heel bone to the fibula) which is further back towards the heel. This ligament only becomes injured in more severe injuries due to its increased strength and laxity whilst the toes are pointed (a common position for injuries).
In addition to the ligament damage there may also be damage to tendons, bone and other joint tissues, which is why it is important to get a professional to diagnose your ankle sprain. Complete ruptures of the anterior talo-fibular, calcaneo-fibular and posterior talo-fibular ligaments results in dislocation of the ankle joint and is often associated with a fracture.
Ini adalah beberapa petikan yang saya kutip dari artikel yang ditulis oleh beberapa “Mind Coach” yang terlibat di dalam sukan di Barat. Moga kita dapat melihat bagaimana mereka menggunakan ilmu dan maklumat untuk kebaikan dan kejayaan dalam bidang yang mereka ceburi.
Petikan 1:
“Tiger Woods is a master of the mental game.
Not because he is more focused.
Not because he appears to want it more.
And most of all, not because he is more talented than the rest of us.
He packages that talent with the most prodigious mental approach ever witnessed in the game of golf since Jack.
Tiger Woods was taught how to use visualization and imagery when he was a boy by his father, Earl. Tiger visualizes exactly where he wants the golf ball to go. I suggest you study Tiger the way I study champions.
Not for the way they play the game, but how they prepare for it before the playing ever commences.
You can take a minimum of 5 strokes off your game by learning how Tiger sees his round of golf in his mind before he ever takes the first tee.”
Contoh 2:
“Three groups of basketball players were selected that had no experience with visualization techniques. The length of the experiment was 20 days and the skill being tested was free throwing ability.
The first group practiced physically free throwing the ball for 20 days. The second group did not practice at all. The third group practiced only in their minds, visualizing themselves making the free throws.
At the end of 20 days, the first group that practiced physically showed a 24% improvement. The second group that did not practice at all showed no improvement. The third group that practiced only in their minds, improved 23%! The improvements were virtually identical to the physical group!”
“Hockey player Danni Roche, who was part of the gold medal winning Australian hockey team at the Atlanta Olympics. She said that she always visualized herself and the team winning the gold medal. The amazing part of the story is that she always visualized Korea coming in second. Incredibly, that’s what happened.
