Things To Note When Pursuing A Professional Career In Football by pussyponder: 9:12pm On May 27, 2017
Dreaming to pursue a career as Professional
football player is good, but not as easy as we
see in the movies. I think the movie like Western
Union Money Transfer Advert, exaggerated a lot
and gave many young footballers the wrong
mindset.


While playing in the village one day, an Agent
came all the way from Europe and drove down
the hinterlands to find this young talent
displaying awesome skills on the dusty sand
doom..and the Agent immediately pick him up
from there and took him to a top flight club in
Europe, where he signed a lucrative contract
and began to earn millions of dollars...


It happens, but not exactly that way. There's a
lot of blank spaces, the untold part of the story
in that 45 seconds advertisement. No agent or
Scout will come to village or to the pitch in your
location to see you play. It rarely happens. It is
more in your dreams than in reality!

Sincerely, if you want to be true to yourself in
your pursuit of a football career, you must
understand these four essential facts.


1.Supply is over 1000% Higher than the Demand
for Players: There is over 500 million players
struggling to get into about 10 million
professional and semi -professional clubs in the
world...including collegiate teams. Every agent
and every scout have more than enough players
on their hands. There's in fact, a very stiff
competition in the players transfer market.


If you are a good player, you must find a
platform to get the attention of Agents and
scouts. You should a least produce a very
attractive video highlights of your best
performances and make such video footage
available to as many agents and scouts you
could effectively reach.

Agents and Scouts are more available in top rate tournaments such
as Fifa or Caf..and if you have never had the
chance to play in such competitions, then you
must look for platforms that deliberately invite
scouts and agents to see talents on display.

2. Clubs are not Looking for good players, they Are Looking for A Fit into their Team: You could be a very good player and still unsuccessful in club trials. The club already have a team and a style of play...if you can't fit into that system then you don't stand a chance to be recruited.


So when you get a chance to go for a club's trials, take time to study the team and it's style of play...work on how you can fit into that team.

3. Football is Not A Career, It's A High Risk: Understand that your football career could end in the next game you play. You could suddenly sustain an injury or loose playing form...and you are forced to end your playing career.

This is why you should start planning for the future from the first salary you earn. One of the things that destroy players are squanderlous lifestyle. You must work on your off the pitch lifestyle...stay away from drugs, alchol and illcit sex

Imvest your earning more on improving yourself educationally. Think of what next after your playing career and start now to work towards it. Invest your excess income now to create more wealth for the future.

4. Understand Professional football is different from Recreational football: In recreational football you play for pleasure and when you are not the mood to play, you stay away from the game. But in professional football you play according to instructions and programs of the team, whether you are in the mood or not.

You must keep agreement and work in line with your contract. You can easily get into trouble that ccould mess up your career when you pitch against the coaching crew or club management. Of course, you must stand for your right when need be.
