How to get more playing time in your football team.

Learn how to convince your coach to give you more playing time with the advice in this video from Jay Mike and Joltter who talk about tips and things you can do to show your coach you deserve more playing time in your football team.

Getting enough minutes and playing time is essential for any footballer and you want to be a part of the active, playing squad as often as you can - but if you get stuck sitting on the bench and being a substitute player, dont worry, you can do certain things to convince your coach he should play you instead of your teammates!

The best advice is to simply show up and be present. If you ALWAYS show up in training sessions and dont skip practice just because you're having a bad day, in the long run your coach will see how determined you are.

Another quite obvious thing is to of course perform in football matches when you actually get some playing time.

You should also have an open discussion with your coach and ask him what you need to do better in order for him to give you more playing time - and then it's your job to work on those football skills and show your coach you are willing to work on your weaknesses to make him happy.

In the end, it's extremely important to have the skill to talk with your coach and understand what he wants out of his players, and if you know what you can bring to the team, you want to let your coach know he should give you tons of minutes and playing time.
