Football and life, the similarities!

I really love football and I'm also a student of life, I live everyday and try to learn something new,
While enjoying my favorite sport, I thought long and hard and I discovered something.
In football there are teams and players, in the team everyone plays for each other to achieve a common goal which is for the team to win, individual accolades becomes a plus. Also there are times when footballers are at their best, we say they are in great form, and sometimes they dip in form and do not do so well, but that doesn't mean they are not good footballers, it's a temporary downturn, they tend to also improve with continuous training and play at their best again,that period their coaches and team mates has to be patient with them. Likewise when a player is injured, the team has to be patient with the player through the recovery period.
There is a lot to learn from this, if we apply some of the principles used in football to our everyday life, I believe, the world will be a better place.
Firstly I talked about football teams and players, likening this to life, we are the players and our sphere of influences are the teams we belong to, our schools, work places,steemit,family unit, anywhere we belong to. Like football we don't have to be islands of ourselves, we are in a team to help us develop ourselves and also work together to achieve our goals,whether we like or not we need people to help us reach our goals, so to an extent we should shun individualism and seek help when necessary.
Secondly I talked about footballers not being at their best all the time, only with continuous training they can create sustainability and work back to their best, relating this to life, we should write ourselves or anyone off, when we find ourselves not doing so well in life, that doesn't mean we aren't good enough, we should not lose confidence in ourselves because a temporary moment of dipping in form which can not be used to define a player, we should believe in ourselves instead and work on ourselves and know we can always return to our best with time.
Thirdly I talked about the coaches being patient with their players helping them become better, you might be a teacher, be patient with that student, afford the student your approval, let them know you believe in them, it will give he/she a very big boost of self confidence and also a hope that they can do better. If you are an employer try to compliment your staffs sometimes, they might only have dipped in form, and need your compliments and support to return to their best and even sustain it.
Let's believe in one another and help each other be better persons, that way we develop the team and also develop individually making the world a better place.
Because after all we are all on the same team.
