My dream job

My dream job – Elite soccerplayer

When I grow up I would like to play soccer for a living.

I have always loved soccer and I have played it since I was five years old. I know it’s very difficult but I would at least like to try.

If I’d become a soccer player on an elite level I dream to play in USA because they are very successful and I believe they have very talented and good players.

If I played in USA I definitely would live in Chicago, New York or Los Angeles just because I think they have very beautiful surroundings and cool places to visit.

I would love to live in a flat that’s pretty high up (floor 10 or higher) and with many big windows so my apartment would be very bright and clean.

I would love to have a gym just outside my apartment so I could go and work out and later train football.

I don’t think there’s a specific education you HAVE to go to become a soccer player. . But I believe you have an advantage going to a high school with a specific soccer education.  Going to a school like that you don’t just get to play soccer, you also learn a lot soccer theory and what kind of demands the trainers have on their players.  You probably also learn a lot mental training, since you have to be able to do well even if you are very nervous. You also learn more about which attitude you must have against the other players in the team and always to show respect.

I believe that if you want to become a soccer player and make money on it, you have to be very passionate about it and enjoy training different kind of qualities.

I really would like to be able to live on my hobby, I unfortunately, I don’t believe that it will happen. So probably I would have to have a side job, or something like that. I think I would study while I’m playing soccer so I can get a more solid job whenever I want.   

I know I must train a lot, always be single-minded and always do my best. Even if I get an injury I have to continue to train, but then I have to train different.

I believe that if you really want to be a pro, you have to be very single minded.  But I don´t think that is enough, I think you need to really love playing soccer and find a great deal of happiness in doing so. You need a great drive to become really good.

I don’t know if becoming a soccer player will be my dream in 5 – 10 years, but right now I still find joy and happiness by playing it, and that’s honestly the most important thing for me. To earn money and become a pro is just a side thing for me right now.
