What does it take to become a better soccer player?
This week, our Junior National Academy Tryouts participants explored how the choices they make every day can either help or hurt their performance.
Together, we talked about:
- What makes a good first touch
- What helps us play our best
- What can we do to reach our goal
- How we can help a teammate make good choices
- How alcohol and marijuana can interfere with our performance
Players were challenged to think beyond their next training session and consider how today’s habits can shape tomorrow’s performance!

The Play Smart, Live Strong initiative by the Northern Mariana Islands Football Association empowers our youth to make healthy choices on and off the field. We are using the power of soccer to promote substance-free lifestyles and reduce the risk factors related to underage drinking and marijuana use.
