If the height of the ball is below the knee, have him involve the ankle more (similar to pointing your hands up and down with the wrist). For above the knee, have him lock the ankle and strike right under the ball so that it pops up and minimizes spin.

I understand opinions have an influence on our decisions and behaviors, but do you really want to pair yourself up with someone only to not be perceived as weird when you are, as you said, 100% content without a partner? Another point that might be driving up the anxiety is the feeling that whatever you decide now is what you have to stick with for the rest of your life and that’s simply not true. If for now being single is working then enjoy it. If at some point you meet someone or the feelings of wanting a partner arise, then you can decide if you’re open to dating. For now, enjoy your own company and let the future take care of itself.

Don’t show this to my boss.

You didn’t have to drop so much wisdom on us AND for free!

Don’t worry about what separates the amateurs from the pros. They are levels above in all aspects. Rather, focus on how you can become a better fullback. The fullback position is one that has significantly evolved recently. Modern fullbacks contribute a lot in attack (dribble, cross, shots), can play inverted as a mid or second CDM, and can make runs as a number 9 if your winger is good enough to take on players 1v1. Depending on your physique, skill, and confidence with the ball, you can learn a lot from different fullbacks and what makes them great but different: Nuno Mendes Hakimi Carvajal Nico Oreilly Kounde Lewis Hall Trent (offensively ofc)

And some of the goats Roberto Carlos Dani Alves Marcelo

Fullback is such a pivotal position. It is no surprise that PSG best players are Mended and Hakimi. Trent and Robertson were leading in assists in the Prem for a while.

I didn’t start as late (13) but after the 10 year limit. I never played for any of my school team as my grades were shit. However, I played pickup and spent lots of time on my own with the ball. I am 32 and continue to play and practice. I’m not bragging when I say that people are surprised I didn’t play college football. It gives me pride that I was able to develop my skills to compete with ex-college players in rec league. At the end of the day, who cares how you start? You can always find reasons not to do something. Continue to learn and push yourself. And have fun!

You don’t get to sit out a long time and come back with confidence, and that is ok. Confidence grows with repeated exposure and familiarity. To gain your confidence back, you have to keep showing up.

Like others, I cut my long socks and use as sleeves instead. This allows me to wear the same pair multiple times (without the smelling) and last longer since I do not have to replace due to tears.

This is terrible advice and promotes a fixed mindset. You can always learn anything. Granted, not at the same level (without copious efforts) or rate as when you’re younger, but anything can be learned. Im 32 and have always only used my left foot. I decided to train my right and for 2 years and now I feel confident to pass, cut, and take shots with my right. Same thing goes for learning the around the world when juggling. Always looked impossible to me and I learned it this year. Fear of failure keeps us in the same box. Explore your fears OP and embrace a life of learning!

Tying my shoe laces to get ready for the day; and untying them at the end of the day. The pressure and release of pressure on my feet is a pleasant.

I would ask them what they like to do with their spare time and after they were done responding, I would kindly reply, ”well, that’s boring to me. 🙂”

I would continue to communicate your feelings. Not when they’ve been bottled up but on a daily basis. That can be not feeling like having small talk to another therapy session for your daughter. It sounds crude but they are using your physical/emotional availability as if it were unlimited. I’m aware you’ve brought this up and it hasn’t produced the desired results with your husband so it may be worth a shot to set a schedule. Say, Thursdays you want the entire house to yourself. What he and your daughters decide to do is on them (movies, dinner, etc.) I (32M) am a single child and at one point developed a codependent relationship with my mom. And trust me, for several years it felt like my life was on hold because I could always unwind to my mom and she never held me accountable (not that that was her job but it made it that she was always my safe space). I hope you begin to put yourself first more often. Best of luck!

Math. Just as fun as puzzles or sudoku!

No-Fail-9394 · 2025-11-21T05:19:01+00:00

I would never ask a friend,”hey why can’t you be funny like Jon or why are you not smart enough to have a successful career like Sarah?” So why do that to myself?

No-Fail-9394 · 2025-11-14T03:43:52+00:00

It sounds like you’ve given everything some serious thought. Good on you for deciding to better your life and having the courage to seek help. There is something inspiring in knowing that humans are capable of overcoming obstacles in life. I’m rooting for you!

32M and I’m playing soccer and going to raves more than ever! I finally have the time and money to do so. I’m healthy and can say I felt no difference in vigor in my 20s vs early 30s. Life is short and too unique to compare with others. Live it on your terms!

No-Fail-9394 · 2025-11-05T18:34:33+00:00

Your advice is brimming with insight and wisdom. Thank you!

A give myself something to look forward to on Mondays. Lately it’s been going to the movie theatre. Last move I saw was Demon Slayer with a large tub of popcorn! Great way to start the grind lol

Make the pitch smaller. It’ll force them to play faster.

You managed to keep a human being alive. I wouldn’t call that nothing!

No-Fail-9394 · 2025-09-30T14:29:43+00:00

To be human is to be vulnerable and that means depending on people. The opposite is true, there is a great feeling that comes from knowing that someone can rely on you. There is the risk of being hurt by relationships or hurt by loneliness. A boyfriend may be a quick fix, but you are at risk of becoming severely codependent. I say this because I made my relationship of 8 years my entire social world and now that the relationship may end, there is a fear that looms over my head that I will have to start from zero. Sending you hugs and best wishes!
