If you’re serious about levelling up as a footballer—not just in your skills, but in life—read this: 1. Train more than you scroll. Touch the ball more than you touch your phone. 2. Netflix? Nah. You don’t need to binge-watch when you could be building your future. 3. If your hometown keeps seeing you as the old version of you, it might be time to bounce. Sometimes you grow faster away from comfort. 4. I know it sounds cheesy, but gratitude works. Helps you stay grounded, even when things aren’t going your way. 5. Keep things simple. Stack small wins. And outwork people behind closed doors. 6. Learn something new every week—about football, mindset, or just how to be sharper. 7. Everyone’s got opinions. Most of them don’t matter. Trust yourself and do your thing. 8. Say no more often. Protect your time. Unless it’s about getting on the pitch—that’s always a yes. 9. Invest in yourself. Your game, your health, your mind. That’s the real flex. 10. Make fewer decisions. Have a routine so you’ve got more energy to dominate. 11. Build a solid circle. People who push you, not just hype you up. 12. Trust your gut. Especially during games. Overthinking kills creativity. 13. Ask questions. Even the “dumb” ones. That’s how you grow. 14. Get 1% better every day. It doesn’t sound like much—but it stacks fast. 15. Read. Watch clips. Study players. The best ballers are students of the game. 16. Don’t buy stuff to impress people. Invest in things that actually help your game. 17. You don’t have to do it all alone. Find mentors. Find coaches. Learn to let people help. 18. Put the phone down sometimes. Go juggle. Go touch grass. Let your mind reset. Every single one of these can help you become a better player and person. But not all of them will hit home right now. #About2Win
