If you found our portal, you probably thought that you would like to become a professional footballer and be successful in this sport one day.
However, it was difficult for you to awaken this dream in your mind enough to commit to its realization one hundred percent and start working hard to make this dream come true.
You have heard from the people around you that you have no chance, that you are not good enough, that it is not worth the risk because failure can be very painful, that you are too old to succeed, and many other reasons.
Under the influence of these words, enthusiasm subsided and you plunged into mediocrity without even trying to do something or starting!
But you know what ?
There were those who, despite the fact that they were very scared and all tried to distract them from the realization of their dreams, nevertheless tried.
They decided to go step by step and just do their training every day as best they could to be even a little better!
Day after day, training after training, they discovered that by taking small steps you can go really far!
Even though it wasn't easy, they decided not to think about it and just do their own thing!
Rafał Gikiewicz, the Polish goalkeeper of the German FC Augsburg, decided that he would do just that and he would climb the career ladder, despite all the difficulties, he would never give up.
Rafał has never been considered an outstanding goalkeeping talent in Poland and no one predicted a great career for him.
At the age of 23, he was a reserve goalkeeper at level 3 in Poland and he did not do well there.
Gikiewicz thought then that something is worth changing.
He decided to start individual training and focus on improving his mental preparation.
When his contract in Olsztyn ended, he was offered to join Śląsk Wrocław as a reserve goalkeeper.
In Wrocław, he played only 16 matches because the coach of a very good game did not give him a chance to be the first goalkeeper.
Thanks to good work and the support of the contemporary management agency with which Rafał worked, it was possible for him to move to the Eintracht Braunschweig, which was then defending himself against relegation from the 2nd Bundesliga.
Although he was to be only a reserve player, after a few training sessions and match he became not only the first goalkeeper but also the star of the team.
Since then, he has earned a great reputation in the German league.
First, thanks to his superb performance, Union Berlin advanced to the Bundesliga. Now Gikiewicz is an Augsburg player.
According to experts dealing with Bundesliga, Rafał Gikiewicz is currently the best goalkeeper in the entire league.
He is rated higher than the amazing Bayern goalkeeper Manuel Neuer.
So, bearing in mind the example of Rafał Gikiewicz, but not only, ask yourself: Is it worth having big dreams, believing in yourself and instead of complaining, start hard working on their implementation?
If a Polish footballer in whom almost no one believed in could reach the level of one of the best goalkeepers in the Bundesliga in 6 years, is it not worth trying and giving it all?
