This post is based on an important operating principle of peak performance and success, not only in soccer but in life. A quick question for you, could you or your child play soccer professionally for a living? Depending on your age and situation, the answer is yes.
If it is possible for one person in the world to do something, then it is possible for you.
If someone excels and dominates the game of soccer, then it is possible for you to reach a comparable level of success. You might be scratching your head thinking this guys crazy, but let me explain to you HOW.
Players like Ronaldo, Toress, Rooney, Deco and co who have dominated the world of soccer can be used as examples. These players apart from being champions of the game, have one thing in common, they are extremely successful. As a parent or a player, our goal is to mirror their development and training regime. Use the same strategies as these players.
- How do they train?
- How to they eat and maintain themselves?
- How do they handle training?
- How do they handle failure or setbacks?
- How do they maintain motivation?
Once you research their behaviour and techniques, copy them. Do not try and re-invent the wheel. Warning: Just because you study and use all of the training strategies of Ronaldo and company, does not mean that you will be able to play as well as them. However, if you find out the success strategies of all the great players and you start to practice just like them, you will lift your level of play significantly. If you are open to learning you will improve quickly and be more successful than if you think you have all the answers. Talk, read and study the champions. It is one of the fastest ways you can improve and who knows, you may even surpass the likes of Ronaldo and Beckham.
As a soccer player or even as a human being, you have a significant amount of potential. You have hidden talents, you have the ability to do things you never imagined. you don’t have to believe me but its true. Scientists and experts alike concluded that most people only realise 5% of their potential.
There is little that you cannot achieve if you have the right STRATEGIES, are MOTIVATED to succeed and are PERSISTENT. The only real limits that exist are the ones between your ears. When you overcome those inner limits you will start doing the impossible. You do not know what your limits are, or your child’s limits are, or how much you can achieve. So keep pushing yourself and you might be amased where it takes you.
