As we have mentioned many times, setting a clear goal to achieve, and great confidence at the same time, is absolutely key to success in football.
And yesterday something happened in the world of football that may prove to be a tangible proof of this thesis.
As you probably know, Karim Benzema won the France Football golden ball award yesterday.
This means that he is currently the best footballer in the world.
Therefore, it is worth talking about the beginnings of Karim's career, focusing on what his mindset was.
Benzema was included in the first team of Lyon at the age of 17.
He was then a talented but unknown young guy who already knew what he wanted to achieve.
In Lyon, it was customary that a young player joining the team has to get up at the first dinner and tell some information about his dreams and ambitions.
When Karim said he wanted to be the best in the world, everyone suddenly laughed at him and no one listened to what he was saying.
Karim got very nervous then and started screaming, not paying attention to how good players he is dealing with.
He was shouting that you were laughing and I came here to work hard to get in your seat so that you could only be my back-ups.
Suddenly there was silence and everyone began to listen to him.
One of the players who were in Lyon then said we were laughing and he already had a clear goal and a plan to achieve it.
Even though he was still a kid at the time, he had enormous self-confidence.
This mindset, hard work and great talent allowed him to achieve so much.
Young players should follow his example.
Can you openly say that you have such a mindset?
If so, why don't you risk and do everything that is available to build your career?
You play in the low league, find courage and eat for tests.
Record a video and show your skills on the Internet or maybe you are afraid that they will laugh at you?
At the beginning they also laughed at Karim, and today he is at the very top.
Now do you understand what I mean?
Also develop the mindset of the winner by constantly trying, even if not everything goes well.
Do you want people from the world of football to know that you exist and that you have big dreams?
Write something about yourself in the comments.
Write your name, how old you are, what club you play in, your position on the pitch and your goal that you want to achieve.
