How to become a Pro | Day 8: Becoming a Professional Footballer

“I want to be a professional footballer but I just don’t know how…”

How many guys or girls have you heard say that?

Or just the first part and not want to admit they have no idea how?

Well it’s actually much simpler than you’d think.

But remember simple doesn’t always equal easy.

#1 - Become Clear on Your Purpose

Do you actually love football? Do you really want a 20 year career at the top level? Make your desired future crystal clear and think if you are truly happy doing that.

Many footballers simply lack the hunger, desire, and discipline to be a professional footballer. They see the money, the status, and stadiums and think they want the same.

Don’t waste your or my time if you aren’t ready sacrifice everything to make your dreams come true. A professional footballer must be a winner. He must NOT be okay with losing.

It doesn’t matter what magical exercises and recovery routines I give you if you don’t actually believe in yourself and your future.

#2 - Now ask yourself what is the most valuable thing in football.

What do clubs pay $60 million dollars for?

TALENT

Now where does all this talent come from?

THE STREETS

So if you can figure out a plan to become talented using what the streets does to these young players, then you’ll be pretty close to becoming valuable for a pro club and worth signing.

#3 - Get yourself around as much football as possible

This means 5v5, small-sided game, futsal, and all forms of pickup. The more flow state you have access to, the faster and better you will develop. This is one of the main things that THE STREETS gave to young brazilians in the favelas.

#4 - Stop specializing and start cross-training

Early specialization has been proven to lead to more injury-prone, fragile, and robotic players. Cross training has been proven to make athletes more athletic, resilient, and creative. Understand that pro clubs pay top dollar for IMPACT players.

#5 - Devise a training program that makes you built like world class footballers

World Class footballers are built different from the inside out. There are many layers as to how. Use Entangled Training Systems to do exactly that in the fastest amount of time possible. Again, upgrade that TALENT.

#6 - Optimize your health and boost recovery

There’s no point in being a good footballer if you’re sickly, covered in acne, and too tired to play your best. Most mainstream forms of “recovery” are meant to sell supplements and gadgets. Use natural methods that actually work.

#7 - Look the Part

Coaches, scouts, and agents WILL make split-second decisions about you based on your appearance, how you walk, and how you speak.

You need to walk TOP-NOTCH.

You need to look ELITE.

And you need speak WELL.

That means having great skin, proper haircut, dressed appropriately, healthy teeth, tan skin, smell good, and being able to look your coach in the eye.

#8 - Deliver on the Pitch

Finally, there’s no point in all the above if you don’t HOW TO WIN.

The more wins you rack up, the higher status you will be as a player and attract better scouts.

Remember TALENT always wins. The best rise to the top regardless of ethnicity, size, or height.

Use my course the LAWS OF FOOTBALL to become an experienced winner overnight.
