One of the biggest mistakes you can make as a young footballer is the attitude that only after joining a good club or academy will you start training like a pro.
If you want to take advantage of your chance, which may be the only one in your life, you have to be constantly prepared for it in absolutely every way because you never know when it will appear.
Therefore, no matter at what point in your career you are now, you must actively work for this opportunity to appear and be used by you.
HOW CAN YOU DO THIS?
1) Train like a pro right now.
If in your current team you only train 2-3 times a week, you should approach the subject differently and train every day.
2) Focus on individual development
In semi-professional clubs, usually coaches focus on the result and team development.
However, you should also focus on individual development so that you make regular progress.
Never compare yourself with players on your current team.
Be aware that the world is huge and the fact that in a small environment you are the best now does not mean anything because there are so many better player in the world than you.
Therefore, focus on yourself first and foremost and expect to be better each day than you were yesterday without comparing yourself to anyone.
3) Build your daily motivation based on your goal, not your current situation.
Sometimes the hardships of everyday life kill your motivation and you give up training, diet and any activities that will lead you to your goal.
Therefore, always in such a situation, remember where you want to go, what is your goal, without focusing on where you are now.
Be aware that an opportunity may appear at the most unexpected moment and you cannot miss it due to a temporary drop in motivation.
4) Use absolutely all the possibilities you have so that someone can notice you!
Being ready for a chance doesn't mean you just have to wait!
Do your best in every game because you never know who is watching you.
Use specialist portals such as FTT and post videos to show your skills to scouts, trainers, and agencies.
Be active on social media by promoting yourself.
If you have problems with training or you lack contacts in the world of football, prepare a video of training and matches that show what you can do, then next write us a private message on Facebook and we will do everything to help.
Remember that when the opportunity arises, scouts, the coaches are interested in what you are able to show NOW, not in a year's time.
Therefore, take care of everything now, ball control, speed, conditioning, dribbling, etc.
A good example of the fact that you have to be ready all the time is Jakub Moder, a young player of the Polish national team.
A year ago, Moder was a player of Lech Poznań reserves at the level of the 3rd league in Poland.
However, when he got his chance in the first team, he was ready in every way and immediately showed great quality.
After only a year, he is the main player of the Polish national team and was transferred to the English Premier League to the Brighton club.
In this example, you can see how much your career can move forward for a year when you are ready and able to seize this opportunity!
