Personality Traits of a Good Soccer Player
The best soccer players are hardworking, resilient, and focused and have important qualities
that lead them to improve continuously. There are many important traits that soccer players need to be
successful, and all of the traits can be developed over time. Understanding the soccer players’ important
personality traits and interests is crucial for developing a well-rounded player and reaching your goals.
❖ Adaptability
➢ One of the important personality qualities that youth soccer coach Bobby Howe
points out is adaptability. Soccer is fast-paced, and the circumstances during a game are
constantly changing. Top players can adapt to the ever-changing game quickly.
❖ Hard-working
➢ “Hard work beats talent when talent doesn’t work hard.” - Tim Notke. That certainly
holds for soccer players. Talent often puts youth players ahead, but a lack of hard work
will catch up. Even the best players must continuously work hard to improve their
skills and tactical understanding of the game.
❖ Con dence
➢ Mental ability underlies all physical performance. Athletes must believe in their abilities
to succeed. Players face criticism, mistakes, and other di cult situations throughout
their soccer careers. Con dence will help them move past these issues and grow as a
player.
❖ Discipline
➢ Stay consistent and reach the goals you set.
❖ Willingness to Learn
➢ Great players are great learners. They are eager to continue to develop and improve.
❖ Collaborative
➢ The best players are the best teammates, constantly encouraging others, hearing them
out, communicating e ectively, and working together to pursue a common goal.

Re ection
It takes many skills, both hard and soft to be a good soccer player. These skills and character traits
developed in soccer will help us in our daily lives as we navigate problems and challenges. God would
have us nd ways to become better people through every activity we participate in, including soccer.
So, even though our PE class is only a minor, we should put our whole heart into it as we gain skills
that will bene t us for the rest of our lives. We should not miss out on the important character we
could develop as soccer players but rather be dedicated to this sport we have been given the
opportunity to partake in.
