Okay so, ever since I was 4 i've been playing Soccer. It's pretty much my life and my closest friends know it. Not to brag, but I can do amazing trick moves, shots, passing, etc... outside the game.

When it comes to playing the actual game, I get nervous. Everything I learned from my youth to yesterday goes out the window and I play poor to mediocre. Then people accuse me of sucking when they haven't seen me do my trick moves like I know how.

How do I drop the nervousness? How do I gain the confidence to play at my full potential? I always HEAVILY criticize myself. For example, tonight we had a game and I missed a point blank range shot. I just wanted to lay down on the spot and die.
