- Know your position, the roles and responsibilities
- Work hard – what is the alternative
- Show what you can do but do not show off
- Know what scouts, agents or other club representatives are looking for
- React to mistakes but be smart, do not try to over cook it in a football trial, clubs are not expecting a player of Messi calibre to be there
- Eat correctly and rehydrate appropriately. This is before during and after the trials https://www.premierfootballuk.com/uk-football-trials/
