description: Ever wonder what all the positions are?Think you know every position and that a book on positioning is unnecessary for you?Ever hear of a False Nine, a Wing Back, or an Inverted Winger and were confused by what position that referred to?Have you ever wanted to learn the abilities needed by each player on the pitch including the position you play in now or potentially want to play in the future?Are you a parent that is a bit confused by the differences of each spot on the field that your child plays?Well, if any of these situations describe you, you are not alone. Coaches of soccer are decent at assigning positions such as goalkeeper, defender, midfielder, and forward in addition to whether that player should be on the left side, right side, or center of the field. Sadly, coaches do not often teach the more advanced positions and what each player in that role must do. It is all well and good if your team is consistently winning and outperforming the other team. However, if your team is not always winning by a few goals, the positioning could be upgraded to effectively use the skills of each player on the team.
