Hi, I seem to have developed a problem while playing football. In certain situations in matches i seem to freeze. I dont know why i do this, fear maybe?
"Getting stuck in" it seems is one problem i have along with slide tackles, however i dont fear getting hurt, or at least i dont think i do. I see the opportunity to do it and my brain says "do it" but my body doesnt follow. I have a similar problem with headers from goal kicks, i either mess up my positioning or when it comes to the moment to jump, again my brain says jump and my body freezes.

I simply must overcome these issues to stand any chance of becoming a better player. ANY advice will be much appreciated.
