Hi there,
My nephew is 9 years old, and he started playing soccer, but he has a problem; he gets tired really quickly, i have been trying to push him to work harder lately, but im not geting any feedback. He usually gets tired after 15 - 20 of exercise. Im not a coach or any thing, i just used to play pro-soccer, so i know a thing or two about it. So what can i do to make his stamina increase, without hurting his body, i dont want to push him too hard.

It is great that you are as an uncle so much interested to help your nephew. Although his body is still growing, his body is going to adapt to exercise very much like as any adult's body. You can start by slowly increasing first the amount of exercise and then the intensity of exercise and your nephew will quickly build stamina.

Some studies have shown that children who exercise have stronger immune systems and do better in school than children who don’t.

Since your nephew is into football and you know something about that I am sure you will find the best way of increasing his stamina. In case that you don’t succeed maybe it would be wise to consult a doctor and just check if everything is fine.
