“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt
The message above written by in my opinion the greatest American president, Roosevelt should serve as inspiration for us all.
For aspiring footballers, this message should be your mantra because people are going to judge you, doubt your ability and telling you cannot make it to an elite level.
But I am here to tell you that no matter how difficult the journey may seem, never give up your dream. Don’t let anyone discourage you from following your dream. Keep believing in yourself and your goals.
Take care of your mental health and keep digging, there will be a light at the end of the tunnel.
The good news is Begin to Dare is here to guide you in your journey and direct your path. They have the professionals to lead and will not judge you. They Believe in your potential.
Until next time block the noise and keep going,
Till you hear from me again Peace and always remember to be a good loser and a good winner.
