Football at a professional level gives many people a chance to achieve success. That's why the competition on the way to playing at the professional level is huge and, in my opinion, it is this huge competition and how difficult it is to promote yourself that makes many footballers give up too quickly.
Have you ever wondered at what age it is too late to succeed in football?
I'm talking about players who have been training and developing from an early age but have not yet had a chance to play at a high level. I don't encourage you to suddenly start training football when you're 20, because it's impossible for you to become a professional.
However, if you play football and train from an early age and you still haven't had your chance, when do you think you should give up?
There is no good answer to this question because Kevin Behrens shows that hard work and self-confidence can bring results very late!
Kevin is a German striker who was never considered a great talent and at the age of 26 he was rejected in the 4th league in Germany.
People laughed when he said that he would play in the Bundesliga and that, in his opinion, the 4th league clubs were making a mistake by rejecting him.
Today, at the age of 32, Kevin Behrens plays for Union Berlin in the Bundesliga and played this season in the Champions League against Real Madrid.
A few days ago, he was called up to the German national team and his debut is ahead of him.
What is the conclusion from this story? Well, it doesn't matter what people say!
If you feel that football is your path, work on it every day, work like crazy and never give up!
