Thank you for your question. I am glad to know that you would like to become a professional soccer player.
Below are suggestions :
1. Practise more. Practise makes perfect!
2. Join school soccer team. Play with your school mates and have matches other schools.
3. Attend the soccer school run by local professional soccer teams or international teams. You may have the opportunity to be selected for their professional teams
On the other hand, soccer player would not be life long career. You can also explore the opportunities to work in other careers on soccer, e.g. coach, sports journalist, sports club manager, etc. You can explore more on these careers and attend the training you have interest.
Hope this helps! Good Luck!
Mat Almighty God bless you!

Hi Francisco -
Being a great goalkeeper in Yuma requires a mix of technical skills, physical fitness, and mental strength. As a 12-year-old, you should focus on specific drills and dedicated practice.
Goalkeeper Skills
Practice catching, punching, and parrying. Work on your footwork by doing quick shuffles in the goal. Get a friend to kick the ball at you from all angles to practice diving saves. Improve your kicking and throwing so you can launch a counter-attack.
General Skills & Fitness
Even as a goalie, you need good ball control. Practice dribbling and passing with both feet. For fitness, work on your agility with ladder drills and improve your leg strength with squats and lunges. Mentally, stay calm under pressure and watch professional goalies to learn how they make decisions.
Practice in Yuma
Take advantage of your club, but also use your free time. Find open fields in Yuma to practice on your own or with a friend. The more you practice, the better and more confident you'll become.
Best of luck!
