Zlatan has habits and daily activities that allow him to do as much hard work every day as at the beginning of his career when he was an unknown boy from Malmo, Sweden.
In order for you to be able to do the job that will make you a professional footballer, we have a set of ten habits for you that you must introduce into your daily routine and follow them every day!
It usually takes about 21 days for a human to develop a habit.
During this time, you must do these things every day systematically and with full determination until the activity becomes a habit and your daily routine.
1) THINK LIKE A PROFESSIONAL PLAYER.
Even though you are still far from the professional level, you need to start thinking like a pro.
If you want to be a professional, you can't train as much as amateurs, eat like amateurs and have an amateur attitude.
2) EVERY TIME SET YOUR GOAL!
This means you decide before the season how many goals you want to score, how many assists or how many games to without conceding a goal.
It is obvious that the goals should depend on what position you are playing and what the key requirements of the coach are towards you.
Set yourself goals in both club and individual training.
Set a time period and decide what element you want to develop at this time.
It is very important that you are able to measure the progress and verify that the goal has been achieved.
Set yourself training goals to develop both your weaknesses
your skills but also your greatest strengths.
3) BE AN OPTIMIST !
Regardless of the situation, sometimes even forcefully try to look for positive sides in each situation instead of focusing on failures.
Sometimes it is very difficult, but this attitude will help you avoid discouragement and resignation and at the same time encourage you to look for solutions and opportunities.
4) LET FOOTBALL BE YOUR PASSION!
Many players focus so much on career advancement and when things don't go the way they want, they forget what made them start playing football.
Remember that you started playing soccer because you loved to do it with your friends even when no one was paying you for it.
If you get disheartened, realize that football is something you love to do, not compulsion.
5) BE HUNGRY FOR DEVELOPMENT
Treat each training session as an opportunity to improve your skills, not as a chore that you must perform!
When you do the training with such an attitude and full commitment, I guarantee you that after training it will turn out that there is progress!
6) GIVE YOURSELF ALWAYS 100 PERCENT!
Create habbit 100% commitment and the will to be the best, no matter if it is training, a sparring game or an important match.
It doesn't matter to you whether your team is clearly losing or clearly in the lead, you must always do your best.
This is an element that scouts often pay attention to when looking for players.
7) NEVER GIVE UP !
Regardless of whether it is about training and a situation in which an exercise is difficult for you to perform, whether it is a match and theoretically you have no chance, or that you are working hard and no one from a higher level has given you a chance yet you can never give up!
Whenever you fail, you have to stand up and try again!
Without complaining or sadness, just get up and try again!
Introduced habits into your life and you will see for yourself if they are effective!
