You don’t have to ask your kid (or yourself 😉) for all 3 challenges… • Just start with 1 and build from there… • But focusing on challenges like this is SO IMPORTANT… • And they should be what you are thinking and talking about either as a ⚽️ player or a ⚽️ parent. • Because challenges are what make you grow 🌱 • And that’s all that matters 😉 #improvingallways
If you play ⚽️ and you never sat on the bench for 90 minutes… • It’s coming. • And if it’s not then what that means is you’ll never play at a high level 🤷🏻♂️ #improvingallways
It makes sense when you think about it 🤔 • An academy ⚽️ player isn’t the finished article. They still need to improve 📈 to learn 📚 and develop 🎓 • Take a young ⚽️ player with a good attitude 🧠 and you can teach them a lot. • A young ⚽️ player who has already developed a bad attitude though?? They’ll just cause problems ⚠️ #improvingallways
Now you know what you have to do to keep improving ⚽️📈 • It’s time to plan 📝 and when I saw plan I mean write out your plan. How are you going to actually DO all of these 10 things?? Figure it out and write it down. If you don’t plan this out, you won’t do it 🤷🏻♂️ • If you need more details make sure to watch this: @Christo #improvingallways
I always played my best ⚽️ in training, never in games… • Most players do… • You need to find a way to handke the pressure and i can help you with that 😉 #improvingallways
We were 🆙 and at the field at 6 AM… • We thought we were working hard before this guy showed up… • We WERE working hard before this guy showed up… • But we weren’t working hard enough… • And neither are YOU 🫵🏻 #improvingallways
You cannot separate the person from the athlete. Become a more confident person off of the ⚽️ field and you WILL dominate on it as well. #improvingallways
There is something magical 🪄 about giving myself an exact date that I was going to leave that team (January 1st). • All of a sudden there was an end in sight. Every training session got easier until I was enjoying them because I didn’t have many left. • Most importantly I stopped caring if my coach or teammates criticized me because I would be rid of them soon. • I broke through some sort of invisible barrier and all of a sudden I was playing the best ⚽️ of my life and I didn’t need to leave. #improvingallways
