Becoming a professional international football player is not an easy job because it needs smart work, ambition, stamina, and strength. And not all players have all of them. So to get success, it’s a good idea to get inspired by famous personalities. For example, Omar Dauod was a popular Libyan footballer born 9 April 1983 in Massa, Libya. He was also a member of the Libya 2006 African Nations Cup Team. He performed well on both the national and international level and his incredible voyage of success is a real inspiration for others.
Tips:
1. Stay Motivated
If you want to become the best professional footballer, then you need to have the passion and drive to stay on the top of the game, and this won’t happen overnight. Also, make sure you stay motivated and cut down all the stress that you have of playing professionally.
2. Maintain a Healthy Diet
Before you practice football, it is essential that you are healthy and fit. So make sure you are getting sufficient protein in your everyday diet.
3. Practice for as Many Hours as You Can
To become a pro, play football as much as possible. Do high-intensity movements and exercises like deadlift, bench press, etc. so that you build great stamina and match-ready body. In fact, recent studies have found that the key to success is practicing a particular task for near about 10,000 hours (3 hours in a day and 20 hours in a week). Omar Dauod used to spend plenty of hours learning to pitch and polish his innate talent.
4. Learn Smartly
Each player has its own skills, and that is why it’s essential to turn your weaknesses into strengths. Also, make sure you learn in a smart way.
5. Be Confident and Believe Yourself
Your coach might say to you ‘you are not good enough and making mistakes again and again”. But you need to note that it’s common in professional football. So you need to believe yourself and be self-confident so that you cut out all the negativity that you have in your mind. Remember the success formula of Omar Dauod: smart work + belief + persistence = success.
6. Make a Cool Video
In this modern world, it is essential to show off your talent and what is better than creating your own video and uploading them on YouTube or other social media platform. Maybe if you are lucky enough, you might get a big opportunity to showcase your skills to the world. But make sure, you shoot with your friends or family, and also video quality is good.
