How to be a better striker center forward in football soccer?

A striker or center forward or a front line target man is on of the most important positions in a football or soccer team.
Here are some tips for being a better striker-
1)Lead the line, always look to attack as that is your main goal, to score goals.

2)Close down weary defenders, closing down defenders makes them more prone to mistakes as you are pressurizing them, they will panic and make mistakes.

3)Practice your headers, headers will be very important if you are the loan man up front and you are receiving long passes from mid field and wide players.

4)Build upper body strength, very useful when your are playing loan man upfront, like Didier Drogba for Chelsea.

5)Link up with other strikers and form a partnership, when you work in pairs or triangles, it is easier to get through the defense of the opponents.

6)Poach the goal, look out for any opportunities for tap ins, headers and rebounds and always be the first to  react to these situation, an excellent example for this is Ruud Van NistleRooy.

7)Wear sand bags to your ankles and run, but be sure not to injure yourself, this will definitely increase your running speed and hence make you faster during the game.
