  • Truth about being a professional footballer - advice for young player on how to become a pro. In this video professional footballers Will John and Tyler Back discuss what the realistic life of an average professional footballer is like. Many young players believe becoming a pro footballer is easy and their life is all about fast cars, girls and millions of dollars in paychecks - but in most cases that's not accurate at all. In this video you will hear hard facts of the struggle, dedication and sacrifice most people must be willing to do in order to reach their dream of becoming a professional footballer, and hopefully this video will give you a better understanding on how to become a pro player yourself - and what you should expect from the daily life as an average player. The key is to understand that not every professional football player earns millions of dollars like Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi and most professional players dont have sponsorship deals or any other fancy stuff for that matter - and some players wont even receive their salary for many months even though they are under a contract with a club. There are many things young players dont get to hear about the realistic side of being a professional footballer who is not a superstar like Cristiano Ronaldo - and hopefully this video will open your eyes and steer you in the right direction in regards to your expectations of playing football as a professional.

    Im pretty much a self taught soccer player and when I got into my high school soccer team the truth from what he said cant be any more real. Being good isnt good enough. The coaches already knew many of the players so pretty much all of them are put at the top. I'm fine with it. You camt fight with history but I do want to play professionally not for the money. Hell if I could play pro but not getting payed good I'll do it. Soccer is just something I cant leave. It's the one thing I can say I love with a passion I cant explain. Mark my words when I say I'll become something out of nothing. Wonder if anyone read this.

      G'day from Canada to Finland, correct?
      My name is Peyton, and I sound very generic when I write comments, or letters, or anything. I really appreciate the perspective that you have, and your experiences as well. I am currently in my 2nd last year of high school and have played with my varsity HS team, and was asked to join a men's league team a few years back, and am finally able to play with them now at 17 years old. I have also attempted to start a connection with the soon to commence Canadian Premier League. I have played against guys in my weekly futsal club who have been to the CPL trials and also MLS trials, and usually can outplay them. I am just trying to show my experience. House league, it is mostly just fun for me, I scored about 35-36 goals last season and got more assists in about 15 games, but I know that this is not the pinnacle of all sport.
      Blah blah blah, what would you suggest to be the next step for me in my hopes to be involved with the game? I realise that the question may sound brash, but I don't intend to come off that way.
      I aim to play for a University team in the near future, and wish to have an exchange from Canada to Europe. I have lived across Canada, and am definitely unafraid of moving; I would embrace it. Of course, in Europe there are already roots in the ground for lower league soccer, though not as much in Canada. I don't really expect you to have read this, but any advice would be incredible. I work a lot and pay to play at the moment. All of the money I spend on soccer is my own; I don't have a money stream from my parents, or expect it. I live outside of a rural town, but we have a pitch about 25 minutes away. Combined with that, men's league, the varsity team and futsal, is this a well run vehicle to achieve my goal, or am I missing some major parts? I realise that this is very long-winded, and that you may not have so much free time, but I would gladly accept any criticism from an experienced professional.
      Anywho, if this message is or is not ever read, I still wish you the best in life and your career Will, please take care,
      Sincerely, Peyton Dagenais

    when I was about 11 and playing in a recreational league, I had moved from playing left defender to having to jump in goal because our keeper had left to play club. Being the biggest guy on the team and the bravest I decided to volunteer myself as the goalie. I was not very good of course. however, as time went on. One of my teammate's dad had offered his help to train me. Thats when my whole life changed. At 13 I was the most feared keeper at that league. Clean sheets every game for multiple seasons. At 13 years old I went to tryouts for a local club. I made the cut. By sophomore year I had made a name in my city for being a well known goalkeeper, especially for my small stature. I had done so many tournaments and cups and seasons. I had gone to England to play in an international cup. Played in Vegas. In such a short time I was just overwhelmed with success. My dad always told me to not let it get to my head, but I did just that. I started to slack on my diet, my workouts, my exercises away from the team. The results showed immediately. I seemed to not be able to keep up with what was necessary to reach where I possibly could have been. To this day I still think about what that path would have given me. I am 19 now however, and have decided to coach. Hopefully I can help the next Jerry Bocanegra and prepare him

      To become pro, it takes more than just confidence and skill, you need to take risks, risks, and more risks. And if you're not okay with that, football isn't for you.

      It's all about the long run man. At 15 I was cut from my youth team that I had played over five season for. I made sure to keep my head up and less than two months later I was able to make it into D.C. United's academy's system. Like Will said there are going to be up's and down's. You have to just keep pushing forward. Especially in a position as fickle as goalkeeping.

So CORRECT DECISION is the key. Thanks to UNISPORT for making me aware of this tough world where everyone can't be CR7 or LM10 inspite of having talent. But I will not loose hope, instead I will work hard. I believe in one sentence " I AM THE BEST."

    Here I am a year after the release of his video to share my experience to whoever wants to read it:
    II was born in 1975 and grew up playing soccer in Brazil. Started at age 6 in the neighborhood futsal team. Soon I was playing both 11v11 and futsal. At age 12 I moved to an amateur youth system program (Pompeia FC). Next year I was taken to America-MG youth system and soon after to Cruzeiro. I saw (and played with and against) some of the best of my generation. At 18 Cruzeiro gave me a pro contract. I was paid close to nothing but hey, I was a pro. But my career would end two and a half years later. After being loaned to America-MG twice and then to Villa Nova-MG my family told me to "rethink this whole soccer thing". I did. I regretted it at times but I felt like I wasn't really as driven and willing to become a football nomad to keep on going. The daily life of my short pro career included restricted time with family and friends, controlled meals, training, training, training, and sitting on the bench a lot. It wasn't for me. Good luck to all of you pursuing a career in the beautiful game.

Saying ignorant as fuck while you suck at best is not going to get your point across isn't it? Example: watch Maurinho's negative comment to Ronaldo and watch what Ronaldo CR7 reply to negativity.

I, too had that dream when I was 13-16 years old, and played competitively up till 18 where I had a couple of showcase games and got offered a couple of college opportunities in the United States but at the time I had to make a decision of soccer or education and I chose the latter as much as I love to play. I can keep my mind going forever, but not my body. So now I’m on track to become a physio and help other athletes stay injury free! I still play soccer on my spare time and god damn do I love it but I don’t regret my decision! I’m sharing for those that may be struggling with similar decisions and honestly go with your gut.

      Héctor Díaz Since you live in America you can go online and try to find a agent that can look for open trials for you. Don’t pay anything to the agent until you are satisfied and you passed the trial. If that doesn’t work out you can also sign up at www.ncsasports.org this is a very good organization that contacts lots of scouts to come to your soccer games and they watch how only you specifically play. Try these 2 options! Hopefully this could help you in the future. Stay strong and never give up💪⚽️

    Great video guys. This is one of the aspects of soccer (sports in general) that has been forgotten and rarely talked about. One more thing to keep in mind boys and girls out there, injury can take you out for a long time or for good like it did with me. Stay healthy and learn how to avoid bad contacts and tackles in the game so you can continue to play and potentially make money. The competition is very strong these days and it's hard to make it to top teams, so look for that one thing that gives you the advantage over all other players and shine with it. Mostly it will be your game intelligence because everyone knows how to dribble and shoot ...etc. but few that can make the right decisions in each play. Always remember: "Soccer is a beautiful sport, please play it beautifully"

    Life sucks, I was pro but injured the inside of my ankle and couldn’t walk for 4-5 months, the pro team I played for was inter fc miami, my three year contract ripped , and my agent told me I should stop , so I did , and now I’m 20 and working a 9-5 job , going pro needs lots of discipline and sacrifices , really wanted to be pro getting millions to help my parents but sadly Didn’t , good luck to the younger kids

    “If you aim to be good, you’ll never be good enough.
    If you aim to be great, you’ll fall short of just that.
    You have to want it, not for the money, but because it’s something you want to do, not something you feel you deserve.”
    - I said this 🙂

    From India. Thank you so much for this video I’m 16 practicing everyday to become a pro and ur video has motivated me a lot, even I have been told that I suck at the game I don’t deserve to play, i should quit. But, Just by knowing the fact that this profession is not gonna be easy is motivating me more to go and achieve it. Again thank u so much🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼.
