sprints are the best workout for your cardio. the more you do sprints, the fitter you get and it gives you endurance, and increased oxygen intake. mix it up, do long distance sprints (100 yds), short distance (50,18, 6 yards) and remember to work on your breathing techqniue. make sure you inhale thru your nose and exhale thru your mouth, that will help you a lot. long distance is great too, but sprints gives you the best results quickly and its a very effective workout.

That sucks that you didn’t make the first team you tried out for.
All you can really do is to keep running and working on your ball skills. Definitely work on your juggling! Juggling will help with your dribbling and first touch! The passing, shooting, and tackling? Find a buddy to work with, or even a wall or any other flat surface. So, pretty much what I am saying is: PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE! You are three years behind, it’s time to play some catch-up!
Getting fit isn’t a quick fix. It will take time and hard work. Another thing I would recommend is don’t just run on a treadmill, try to get outdoors and run in the fresh air. It is a lot different from a treadmill.
Good luck with the other teams!

Quit the treadmill running unless your a) burning off extra fat or b) seriously out of shape.
Football, or soccer as you call it, isnt about running at a constant speed for 90 minutes, it involves a series of walks, jogs, sprints, changes of direction, jumps, pivots etc. So you are doing the wrong type of fitness. Instead go down to your nearest park and practice a series of 50-100m sprints and do about 6 of them with 30sec rest in between each one. It is a lot more effective and you will see much improved results
