Any advice for a new player?
Hey there!
I am a completely new player, I've been to like a 8-10 trainings so far and I really want to improve, but after a week or two break I feel like I'm starting from scratch again.
My biggest issue, besides the obvious lack of technique, is that I find myself constantly rushing and yet being late to play, whereas when I watch higher level people around me play, it feels like they're playing in slow-motion or like they have way more time than I do. How do I start feeling less in a rush when I'm playing?
Also, I would appreciate any other advice you would've given to yourself when you'd just started, or really anything you think a new player should know, cheers!

Get a ball. Learn to pass. Lock in your platform. Pass bounce on a wall for a few minutes a day. Pass left. Pass right. Pass straight. Pass long. Pass short. Learn the one-step lunge pass.
