One of the most popular motivational quotes says:
Do what others do not want to do to achieve what they can only dream of "
This quote fits perfectly into the football reality because if you are looking for a way to stand out and get the attention of professional club scouts, you need to do more than everyone else!
Therefore, today in this article you will learn 5 skills that are the most difficult for footballers to learn and if you are persistent enough at work to develop them, your chance that scouts from professional clubs will pay attention to you will increase significantly!
1) CONTROL YOUR STRESS
The first skill is to master your own emotions and the ability to eliminate the negative aspects of stress from your mind, which paralyzes many really big players and prevents them from showing their full skills at key moments.
There are many ways that can help you with this, such as meditation, various other relaxation techniques, or working with a psychologist
We do not provide universal advice here because every player is completely different.
You just need to find what works for you.
The most important thing is that you start looking because if you spend enough time you will find it.
2) PERSISTENCE
The road to football success is much more difficult than it seems.
In the initial phase, everyone works hard, but not everyone will stick to it to the end.
Notice in your example you have probably told yourself many times that you will train 6 times a week, both at the club and individually, but you gave up after a few days.
It was similar with the diet or video recording of matches and training, etc.
You ran out of persistence.
How to expand this element?
You have to try all the time in every aspect of life, not only in sports.
Make a habit in yourself that if you start something, you will finish only when you implement the plan.
3) TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR THE PERFORMANCE OF YOUR TEAM
Many players have high skills, but they only play well when the rest of the team plays at a high level and the problem arises when they have to create the game and take responsibility for the team
How to learn to be a leader and take responsibility?
At the beginning, understand that you create reality and that you are responsible for the situation in which you are, not external factors
Play boldly and don't be afraid of difficult solutions, just take risks.
Scouts always pay attention to the leaders first!
4) BALL CONTROL, SOCCER TECHNIQUE, DRYBLING
Considering what professional football looks like nowadays, these three aspects are always in the first place when it comes to the assessment of a player.
José Botó, who was responsible for Shakhtar Donetsk's scouting until recently, said in one of the interviews that the first aspect he pays attention to when assessing the player's potential is ball control and technique because if it is neglected and there are too many shortcomings in training, such a player is eliminated at the beginning but if these aspects are at a high level, the competitor, despite the deficiencies in other elements, may get a chance.
Bringing these elements and using them in the game so that they will give back to the team is really difficult, but if you manage to do it, you will be successful
So if you are serious about being a professional footballer, train these elements every day until you are perfect, otherwise you are wasting your time.
5) BUILDING YOUR BRAND
Finally, we would like to help you build your brand.
Just think how many really good players there are who haven't achieved success because nobody heard about them and gave them a chance.
There is a misconception that if you are a good footballer there will be an opportunity.
NOT!
Nothing will change by itself!
It all takes hard work.
That's why we remind you at every step to record your matches and training and upload them to the Internet absolutely everywhere, be it to social media or our portal where talent scouts work.
In addition, make contacts with agents, coaches, clubs, show yourself on tests and let the world know about your existence!
We realize that each of these points is difficult to implement, but if you apply each your chances of being a pro footballer will definitely increase!
Write down this article and read it as often as you can, and above all, put it into practice.
