There is no way to guarantee that your kid turns into the next Mbappe BUT there is a way to guarantee that they don’t… #improvingallways

Playing well enough to impress a pro ⚽️ coach or scout is one thing. Having an attitude that impresses them is another. • And you’re only 100% in control of one of these things when you step out onto the field to play. You can’t playing amazing in every game, but you can always have a good attitude 😉 #improvingallways

If I had supported myself as a ⚽️ player as much as I supported Bakayoko…maybe things would have gone differently for me 💔 • So who is your favorite player?? There’s only 1 right answer… #improvingallways

There are great ⚽️ players who drink, heck there are great players who are alcoholics. • But great players never listen to anyone else more than they listen to themselves. Trust yourself. Be yourself. It’s not a way, it’s the only way. #improvingallways

I know the question you want to ask ❓ • I’ll get to that 😉 • But first the lesson you need to learn 📚 • Succeeding in sports is not just about how good you are at that sport 🏆 • As I played at high and higher levels I started to realize more and more 🤔 • How many distractions there are 😖 • How many things you have to deal with that having nothing to do with actually playing ⚽️ • Opposing players 🗑️ talking you constantly (because they will) 😈 • Fans booing and whistling (even cheering can be a distraction sometimes) 📣 • Articles about you and/or your team in newspapers (good or bad) 🗞️ • The mind games that even your own coach might play on you 😵‍💫 • The constant pressure could be overwhelming for anyone 😥 • Some of the best athletes in the 🌍 have allowed themselves to become distracted in the biggest moments of their careers… • Zidane might have won the 2006 World Cup for 🇫🇷 if he didn’t let Materazzi’s 🗑️ talking distract him… • He took his eyes off the ball for one moment 👀⚽️ • And he’ll regret it for the rest of his life… • But how you respond to that pressure is what will determine if you become a successful athlete 🥇 • Or not 😔 • Can you keep your cool?? 😎 • Or will you let someone distract you from doing your job?? 🫠 • Just like I let that kid distract me when I was playing in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 • Or just like I distracted that player all those years ago in 🇬🇷 • When I frustrated him so much that I got him sent off, and he pulled down his shorts and showed me his 🍆 • Oh and the answer to your question… • Μικρότερο από το δικό μου 🤷🏻‍♂️ #improvingallways

If you don’t believe that you need to be able to juggle 🤹🏻‍♂️ to go pro in ⚽️… • Watch this right now: @DS FOOTBALL ACADEMY #improvingallways #yourpathwaytoprofootball

If you don’t believe me, go look it up. The best goalscorers miss more chances than anyone else 😉 #improvingallways

Team > You. If you want to play at a higher level, show coaches at that level that you understand that • Because they won’t be watching you because they want to help you. They’ll be watching you and asking themselves “Can this guy help my team?” #improvingallways

Your journey to playing ⚽️, or really any sport, with confidence starts HERE: @Christo #improvingallways

Your struggle will make you great 😉 #improvingallways

Something about knowing an old coach still knew what I was up to and cared about how I was doing ⚽️❤️ #improvingallways

Let’s see who watches to the end 😂😂 #improvingallways

If you had this happen, you know how good it feels 😄 #improvingallways

It’s actually rare for a pro ⚽️ scout to watch a full game of a single player, usually they’ll watch a few minutes. That might not be the best way to make a decision on a player, but they’re busy people and they have lots of players to watch. • Imagine finally getting the chance to play in front of scout for a few minutes and wasting those minutes “building up your confidence” and anyway… • Playing simple and safe isn’t a way to build up your confidence ❌📈 • It’s just a way to show everyone watching that you have no confidence. • And if you are struggling with confidence at the level you’re playing at right now…there is no way you are ready for a higher level. #improvingallways

There are no professional ⚽️ players who cannot juggle 🤹🏻‍♂️ #improvingallways

This is often one of the first questions a ⚽️ coach will ask you… • Make a good first impression not a bad one 😉 • Make sure to ❤️ if you found this video helpful (or even just funny 😂) #improvingallways

It’s so easy to play pickup ⚽️ and not take it seriously at all and develop horrible habits that you carry over into important training sessions and games. #improvingallways
