The four main elements of soccer success are having physical readiness, tactical & technical competence, mental strength, and nutrition. These elements all play a role in making you an outstanding soccer player out on the field. Obviously, you will need to be physically ready if you're going to be able to handle the intense physical exertion that soccer entails. This will involve performing vigorous exercise training regimens to get you in top shape for the game.

And then you are a footballer, and you're suddenly in the strangest, most baffling world of all. A world where one team-mate comes to training in a bright red suit with matching top-hat, cane and glasses, without any actual glass in them, and another has so many sports cars they forget they have left a Porsche at the train station. Even when their surname is incorporated in the registration plate. So walk with me into the dressing-room, to find out which players refuse to touch a football before a game, to discover why a load of millionaires never have any shower-gel, and to hear what Cristiano Ronaldo says when he looks at himself in the mirror. We will go into post-match interviews, make fools of ourselves on social media and try to ensure that we never again pay £250 for a haircut that should have cost a tenner. We'll be coached and cajoled by Harry Redknapp, upset Rafa Benitez and be soothed by the sound of an accordion played by Sven-Goran Eriksson's assistant Tord Grip. There will be some very bad music and some very bad decisions. I am Peter Crouch. This is How To Be A Footballer. Shall we?

Download or read book When the Dream Became Reality written by Warshaw Bobby and published by . This book was released on 2017-07-17 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A young soccer player dreamed of playing professionally. Or, better said, he dreamed of doing something great. He wanted to be someone or get somewhere--for his life to mean something--and soccer became his path. When he heard his name called in the 1st Round of the MLS SuperDraft, he expected his life to change forever. What he found, instead, was much of the same: the same fears, insecurities, and internal conflicts, except now with higher stakes. When the Dream Became Reality is the story of a professional athlete's path and evolution, as a person and athlete, from childhood through six professional seasons. In this heartfelt memoir, Bobby Warshaw recounts the moments we rarely hear so honestly from athletes, including disagreements with coaches, personal mistrust of his own ability, doubt about his sexuality, and the aftermath of loss and failure. Warshaw experienced incomparable highs--game-winning goals; championship games; wearing the captain's armband--but he rarely felt like he was living the dream that everyone suggested. Beyond the usual self-doubt, he struggled to come to terms with the paradox at the root of the profession: the intersection of a ruthless business with a children's game. To achieve his goals, Warshaw discovered at a young age he would have to live with two conflicting parts of his life, the athlete and the human. The former Stanford University captain opens up about his efforts to maximize his ability as an elite player and a compassionate person despite their often-clashing demands; the constant frustration that he never performed either as well as he would have wanted; and the subsequent struggle to like himself, as either an athlete or a person, along the way. When the Dream Became Reality is not the story of the glitz and glamour of a famous superstar, but rather the everyday emotions and decisions of an average pro pushing to be remembered. Warshaw writes the story that pulls back the curtain on the life and emotions of America's professional athletes. Sometimes there is more than giant contracts and big trophies on the line. It's a common thought to chase our dreams. Do we ever stop to think what happens when we get there? When the dream no longer remains a dream, but becomes reality.

Download or read book The Work of Professional Football written by Martin Roderick and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2006-09-27 with total page 236 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A long-term study providing rare insights into the precarious career and ordinary working culture of professional footballers. Away from the celebrity-obsessed media gaze, the work of a professional footballer is rarely glamorous and for most players a career in football is insecure and short-lived. A former professional, Martin Roderick’s familiarity with the world of football is the foundation for this privileged research into a world that is typically closed to the public gaze and ignored by media reportage and academic research which prefers to focus on a small, unrepresentative group of elite players. Key themes explored within the text include: the culture of work in professional football the changing identity, orientation and expectations of players during their careers the fragile and uncertain nature of professional sport careers the performance and dramatic aspects of a career under public scrutiny the role of relationships with managers, owners, support staff and partners players' responses to the insecurities inherent in professional football such as injury, ageing, performance and transfer. The text deals with a wide range of issues of interest to sports students and academics, particularly those with a focus on the sociology of sport but also including sport development, sport management and coaching studies. The text will also be of interest to researchers in the fields of careers, industrial relations and the sociology of work.

Download or read book How to Become a Professional Soccer Agent written by Randolph Riecker and published by . This book was released on 2019-07-17 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is the SOCCER version of "How to Become a Football Agent", which appplies to the rest of the world outside of Europe. There''s not much in the way of formal education on how to go about being a soccer agent. It doesn''t guarantee that you''ll get clients when you set up in business. You''ll need tenacity, desire, motivation, ingenuity, and resourcefulness. It''s a really hard business and only the toughest survive. Everyone assumes that it''s easy because they only hear about the huge deals that are reported in the media, which isn''t quite true. There''s so much more that goes on in the background that the general public aren''t aware of, and some of it is really boring. However, when a deal materialises, then all the hard work involved is really worth it ! The man in the street has no idea how difficult and stressful this career is. Please be warned that you''ll need to have some very deep pockets before you get started. It''s a very expensive business to get into. You''ll need funds for taxis, hotels, flights, phone calls, restaurants, etc. You may spend lots of money, sometimes without reward. That''s why soccer agents earn the huge sums they do ..... to cover all the failed opportunities and times they''ve spent money on chasing clients and deals that have ended in nothing. It can be quite heartbreaking at times. Also, you''ll need money to tide you over when deals aren''t being done, as well as attending to all your normal living expenses. In the beginning you may earn very little at all. Many aspiring soccer agents are frustrated by the shortage of information available to them and often give up on their dream job, thinking that getting into this type of industry is a ''closed shop''. We''re trying to equip you with the tools and skills that you''ll need so that you have the very best chance of succeeding in what''s become a very competitive industry. It will also discuss the regulatory process, enabling you to take your first footsteps into the exciting world of soccer player management. In today''s world of soccer we often see big deals and contracts being signed by players and clubs. Have you ever wondered how deals worth millions of dollars are secured ? It''s only due to the work of professional soccer agents that such lucrative deals can be done. Agents search, negotiate, bargain and secure contracts for their clients, who may be soccer players, managers or coaches. Major contracts can''t be signed without them. Apart from having the required professional skills, a passion for the game is also a key component for success. Patience, hard work and perseverance are also some very important virtues and skills needed. You can''t expect to set up your agency today and then start closing big deals for your clients tomorrow. It just doesn''t work like that. The best way is to start small, and to get your experience with the lesser lights in the lower leagues. The relevance of all of this is to allow you to make small mistakes in the beginning and learn from them before going on to the big leagues. With determination and hard work, your reputation will increase and eventually the big deals will arrive. From the outside looking in, the job of soccer agents can seem to be very glamorous indeed, but there''s a lot of work that happens behind the scenes. The agents often put in very long hours, and spend a lot of time on the phone. They must also be able to multitask and should be highly self-motivated. Before you get started on becoming a soccer agent, research the business throughly for a few months before you really decide whether you actually want to become an agent. If you''re well connected in this industry, then by all means, go ahead. Don''t get into this business if you''re going to be half-hearted and you''re only trying it out to see if it works for you. The super-agents that you see in the media aren''t youngsters. They''ve been at it for many years, and it''s taken them a lot of time to build up their businesses.
