Many people talk a lot about wanting to be a professional football player.
However, only a small part of people take the first step and start working towards achieving this goal!
If you make this decision and start, we have 5 things for you that you need to know and prepare for!
1) IT WILL BE HARDER THAN YOU EXPECT NOW!
Sports and football are a place full of talented people!
Talent is only a small part of what you need to succeed!
Mainly, you need to prepare for hard daily work that will often overwhelm you and you will want to give up!
How you perceive a footballer's life as a beautiful, rich time is only the end result!
The real work and development of a player is where it cannot be seen!
2) THEY WILL CONSTANTLY SAY THAT YOU ARE NOT SUITABLE!
You will constantly have to prove that you deserve to be a professional!
There will be a lot of failures and rejection, but if you survive it, there will be a moment of glory a little further!
3) BE READY FOR MANY PEOPLE TO LEAVE YOUR LIFE!
When you bet everything on football, you will often have to give up meetings with friends, family or dates!
Many people will disappear from your life because of this.
Moreover, when you start achieving success, many people will pretend to be your friends to get benefits.
However, there are good sides to this situation because only real friends and real family will remain in your life!
4) YOU WILL HAVE TO DISCOVER YOUR PATH!
It's worth following the example of successful people, but you have to remember that everyone has their own path and what makes one person successful may not necessarily work for you!
Therefore, learn from your mistakes, work, observe and, if necessary, correct your mistakes until you find your own individual path to success.
Never give up!
5) UNDERSTAND WHAT THE WORLD OF PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL NEEDS AND ADAPT TO GIVE VALUE!
At the beginning of their career, most footballers are strikers, midfielders, etc.!
However, when you move to the world of professional football, it may turn out that you can provide more value to the team, for example as a defender!
A good example is Łukasz Piszczek, a former player of Borussia Dortmund Hertha and the Polish national team.
Piszczek started his career as a striker. He played quite well, but he was far from even European level.
At the perfect moment, one of the coaches changed his position to right defender and it turned out that Piszczek became one of the best right defenders in the world in this position!
Be open to the trainers' tips and willing to learn!
Analyze these tips carefully and apply them because this is the most important thing!
If you only read this, it makes no sense!
The most important thing is that you apply it!
