Having a Mentor

" The true tragedy in most peoples lives is that they are far better than they imagine themselves to be and, as a result, end up being much less than they might be." - Earl R. Smith II

Like seriously are there any benefits or positivity in having a mentor ? Be it a good mentor or a bad mentor ?.
As you might have known or heard, a mentor could also be referred to as a teacher whom you learn from and arquire knowledge as well.
It's been 5years now since I started involving myself and practicing football as a career, I have been forced sincerely to put this questions into consideration not by anyone but by my desire and motivation in becoming great and successful in my career, is having a mentor a must? Is having a mentor a good or bad idea? Well, we would see for ourselves.
We all definitely now how the football system works and been a player, you should have a position where you do perform better and I normally play from the midfield position. Most times I don't get featured in a match not because I really don't have a mentor but because I was good, not just good enough rather and I hardly engaged myself watching professionals playing as I regard it as waste of time and resources. Been curious why I wasn't featured in any match made me to watch a professional match between arsenal and Chelsea. Then I was supporting neither the both teams, While watching the match, I paid more attention on the midfield aspect and someone inspired me. His style of play was good and calm, positioned him self properly to distribute and receive the ball, His passes was accurate and always tends to either cause a goal or a pressure to the opponent. After all inquiries I found out that his name is

Musuit Özil

I decided to browse around the net and even on YouTube to watch both past and present clips from him. I kept doing this day by day and not forgetting to put to practice all that I learnt each day from the videos and so on. Within me I found out that I was improving, even if I wasn't playing like Özil, I was playing far better than before and to my greatest surprise I was now getting more time on the field of play.

So tell me why I shouldn't get a mentor for myself, if I could improve so much with the help of a mentor then I see no big deal in having a mentor rather you're doing yourself more good.
Get yourself a mentor, learn and archive great knowledge towards your career pursuit !!
