how to be aggressive and give it your all is pretty self-explanatory. As for your cuts, you want to cut behind your defender in that split second that he looks away. As for when to shoot and cut to the goal, whenever you have the ball, the first thing you want to do is drive to the goal ans score. But you have to practice all of that every day, along with wall ball.

being agressive is a mental thing. I used to play passive shortie D. I realized that I was not agressive enough, so I stopped caring about "hurting" or about being cheap to others. I just went balls out and started playing some tough, agressive D. I mean I won't hit someone from the back, but I will grind the head of my stick into your chest as you try to move, or just hack on your lower hand as you run.

It's a mental thing, you just have to do it.

i practice every day.. and i still dont get how to be agressive. i think im pretty smart so need more help.. our teams like to pass ball around so i dont think i can go in every time. my coach says if the d plays you too far out go.. but what about cuts? my team doesnt see me or the d is to close for them to throw it too me.

ok mental thing how could i use your mental idea for attack?

In the words of Patches O'Hoolihan, you have to get angry. i always start out a game passive, but that first slash that hurts i get angry and start going all out.

That is funny you talk about getting slashed. I just got back from a game where I got slashed to the 2 times in the first 5 minutes. That made me pretty mad. In all I got cross-checked 3 times and slashed to the head 3 times in the whole game. By the time we went into overtime I was pretty pumped. You just have to find a way to get yourself excited to excited and that will make you alot more aggresive.

you just have to remember that cutting is not only to recieve the ball and take a shot, but to create space and mess up the defensive slides. talk to the middie on your side and tell him to not look to pass it to you when you cut and he has the ball. tell him to dodge his man and shoot.

also, if you do cut to get the ball and shoot, the first time you do it that game scream at the top of your lungs for the ball so that your teammates know you will be open next time. i dont know about your running problem.

Some times when you cut you open up a shot for the man and all you did was walk in and then walk back out. When you do that sometimes it seems like you should get an assist. Just run through, walk through. Just cut in some manner. It doesn't need to be fast.
