This is one of the most common questions we get from you, "What should I do when no one supports me? My parents tell me to focus on my studies because football will not provide me with money for live"
So what should you do in this situation?
Regardless of how old you are, your first step should be an honest conversation with your loved ones and explaining to them how important football is to you.
Regardless of who it is, whether it will be the wife who is fed up with the situation where you devote your whole life to football or whether it will be parents who think it all makes no sense!
Once you have explained it to them, just stop expecting their support and blaming them!
Focus on growing because no one else can make your dreams come true!
Not everyone will understand your life plan.
They will likely understand it when you achieve success and see it for themselves!
Therefore, even if everyone around criticizes what you are doing, you can't stop!
You only need to focus on what develops you and work on it every day!
Remember that even when people around you say that you are without a chance, it is only their opinion and not reality!
Remember that until you reach the professional level, you also have other duties besides football and you have to fulfill them, but if you are determined you can accept it and you will do it!
Do you think every footballer has always been supported by his family?
Many players have had a similar problem to you!
A good example is the Brazilian footballer Liedson who, instead of support, received only a lot of prohibitions from his relatives!
Liedson's parents believed that their son should be a doctor and football was a huge waste of time!
Until the age of 22, the Brazilian could not join the professional club and devote time to training every day because his parents forbade him to do so by making him study.
They only allowed him to play amateurs on the weekends
This did not stop him from becoming a professional because at the age of 22 when he was an adult he dropped out of college and started a professional career!
Although he started much late, he achieved a lot in football.
He became the season's best scorer in the Portuguese league and after accepting Portuguese citizenship, he played in the portugal national team!
This example shows that you don't always have to have the support of your loved ones to be successful!
If you feel that football is your calling, don't stop and continue working on your dreams every day !!
