CONTEST! HOW WOULD YOU RAISE A LITTLE CHILD TO BECOME A GREAT FOOTBALL PLAYER?
Hello to everyone here. It feels so nice to come back to post in this great community.
I hope everyone is doing great. Thank you to the organizers of this contest.
Raising a child to become a great footballer is some how difficult because there are alot of footballs players on our screens today and becoming a great one means alot of work. we see players like CR7 and Messi sharing the stage ansd we keep asking what makes these players unique from the others?
In raising such a child, i think the first thing i wil do is to make the child fall in love with the game. I believe that when one doesnt love something, he/she doesnt put the heart to it. I am going to make the child watch alot of football games both on screen and on the pitch in person. Make him watch videos of great players Like Pele, Maradona, Ronaldinho for him to appreciate football.
We will go out and play football together eventhough i might no be that good. By so doing, he is going to appreciate the game very well.
The next thing i will teach him is discipline. Discipline and we will all agree is very important in our lives. Without discipline, we loose focus and are goals becomes scaterred. We have seen some promising players on our screen and due to lack of discipline, they all fell away. When you take a player like CR7, everyone will testify to the fact that he is very disciplined.
CR7 watches his diet, he trains regularly on and off the pitch because he knows his goals and everything he does is towards achieving these goals. I am going to teach such things to the child so he starts very early. Regular trainings to prevent getting fat and watching of the diet.
The next thing i am going to teach such a child is to learn to take in criticisms. Football is a nice game and the more you excel, the more your critics. In situations like these, all you have to do is to work hard to proove your critics wrong. A Player like CR7 recieves critisisms everyday but he always work hard to prove them wrong without getting angry.
Respect is also very important and if you dont respect your coaches, i believe you wont go far in soccer. i am going to teach him to repect his coaches.
After i have taught him all these, i will enroll him in a football academy and i believe he is going to put in his all to achieve great milestones. I used CR7 alot because i admire him alot.

Great qualities and idols to look up to. If the child appreciates the game and respects his colleagues, putting in the work would become so much easier.
