After one of the last articles in which we wrote that probably the most important aspect of a footballer’s development is to have a clearly defined goal and a plan for its implementation, we received a lot of questions from you what a clearly defined goal and plan really is and why you just fail, even though theoretically it is you have ?
Well, it’s not enough to think that you want to be the best and then do nothing about it.
Not only are many of you not working hard enough to make your dreams come true, you are even afraid to say out loud to other people what you want to achieve because in fact even you don’t believe that your goal is real and you are afraid to talk about it openly to avoid being mocked by others.
Remember that if you have a clearly defined and ambitious goal that you want to achieve in your career, it must first of all be specific, understandable and short!
You have to believe in him so strongly that you’ll be prepared to ignore the opinion of others who find him funny and unreal.
And you also need to be ready to do any job to get it done!
You must be aware that it will not be easy, but you will never give up!
Karim Benzema entering the Lyon locker room for the first time, which at that time was full of stars, proved how important this aspect is.
When Karim was 17 and showed up at the Lyon dressing room and the older players mocked why did you come here and did you make the mistake of entering the dressing room?
Benzema then stood in the middle of the dressing room and started saying he had come to score and play for the first squad and make those who are now in the first squad only substitutes.
Experienced players laughed at him at first, but then noticed that he was saying it with such conviction that they stopped laughing because they were curious to know what the audacious young man could do on the pitch.
When they found out that Karim has high skills and is hardworking so much that it is difficult to match him, they understood that Benzema was not joking saying what his goal was and why he came to the locker room for the first time!
For you, it doesn’t matter what other people say or whether they believe in your goal!
The key is to make you fully believe it, not be afraid to speak up about it and work 100% on its implementation!
