Hi, I have a really big problem. How should I start. At the age of 5 I started to play football, with 6 in a club (low Neveau) then at 9 I was the most requested goalkeeper for big clubs. My father said that I should only deal with it at the age of 12 and now I want to use the fun of football. At 10, my life went down the drain… (my mother stab) I had quite a problem with school with everything that was around me. Only after months did I start playing football again in the other club (Oberliga Nevau). I was still as good as before. At the age of 12, I was not in such good shape. I had a fight with teammates the new coach was not very nice to me and I still had the loss. Therefore, I had changed the club again (performance class). The big clubs were not interested in me at the time because of my achievements. My dad had always motivated me but then came the PLAYSTATION. Fortnite was where I found it fun again. Every day I sat 12 hours, skipped school (Grade 3,6), signed me out of the football club, and after several months I noticed this. What I actually made for losses. I had depression for months that I no longer played football. The reason was why I was no longer playing football, that I was addicted and had gained 25kg. The year 2019 should be the year where the change should come. I started playing football again in the club (district classes Neveau). I was highly motivated, had turned away from gambling and set everything on school and football. The first game went like my dream 0: 2 won, 0: 0, 1: 2 lost, 2: 1 won, 1: 0 lost. Out of 5, only 3 goals concede and our team is unfortunately very bad. 6th out of 8. Everyone on the team said I was sooo good, everybody meant that and it felt as good as it was 5 years ago. B Gladbach wanted to have me. But two months ago, unfortunately, I started to move again and I did not feel like I had lost my old performance and until today I carry this in front of me. Have again increased 5 kg as I have previously lost another 14 pounds. I do not know what to do right now. I'm currently too lazy to lose weight and start doing something for my career again. Seats more in front of the PLAYSTATION.
It has been clear since I was 9 years old that I want to be a professional footballer and I still have this dream to this day. But I do not know how to approach it now. Plan B was always empty for me. I really want to be a footballer, but I do not know how to get pushed and how to reach such clubs. I mean, I'm currently a local. I'm currently 14 years old
Can I still become a footballer and if so how?
If you enjoy it then fulfill your dream. Maybe you go to the club where you used to go or where your friends go.
My dream is to be professional football
Then go play football. Does your father support you?
And my condolences to your mother, if you may ask, to what did she actually die. My dad died when I was 3.
And there are FIFA games
Yes my father is fully behind me and only motivates me but…
At a stroke
I'm sorry but you have such a SUPER father everyone can wish.
Thank you
I do not know how good you are, so I can't judge that.
Obviously you have been pretty good. But then came training breaks that other children did not have. These could catch up with you in this time or overtake you. The more breaks you have, the less likely your dream will be for the professional footballer. But that does not mean that you can't make it back up.
Keep training as long as you enjoy it. You're only 14, you have time for an alternative plan to the professional footballer.
Also pay attention to good grades at school - even if you become a professional footballer, you will be in your normal professional life for a few decades after you turn 40 at the latest. Since a good school is not bad.
OK thanks
Bro how are you now? Did you pursue your dream?
