I have been playing soccer since I was 10 years old, I only played house league until I turned 13, then I started playing for a league that is not as good as rep, but close. I'm now doing tryouts for rep as I've been working hard, and think that I have what it takes to play at this level. But I want to know what position I should play, and focus on developing my skills at. I am a relatively fast player, determined and decent at pressuring unless i'm tired, I am not very good at headers as of the moment, but I will practice to improve them. I'm not as technically gifted as a lot of the players I play against in terms of dribbling. But I am pretty good at step overs. I don't have a blistering shot, but I can place the ball well. I can also improve my shooting technique. I'm not physically the strongest. But i'm working on my upper body strength. I'm also good at flick on's, like you can play a one two with me, I'm good at just touching it back to get you though on goal. When I'm playing well, I can also lead my team decently. I'm a decent tackler unless the person is physically older faster and stronger than me, i'm 15 btw. And lastly I have decent ball control, I've been practicing and can do roughly 200 keep ups on the drop. I constantly improve my ball control as well. What position fits me the best?

Maybe a CDM, ale work on conditioning that "unless Im tired: thing is not good. run run run, don't just run what you do at practice or tryouts run extra, on my team when we do conditioning while the others are breathing hard and begging the coach to let them take a break, I'm doing extra reps without breaking a sweat. also, If you ask the coach he will probably tell you what position you would be good at, since your fast you could probably also play LB or RB if you can play defence
