The Mental Aspect.

Life's hard eh?

Ive been through a lot over the years. Disappointment after disappointment. Defeat after defeat. But something has always kept me going.

Every single time i have not won a game or someone has had the better off me, it hurts. I myself feel that I'm not good enough to compete. Every time that I'm not selected, i doubt myself, i feel that i don't deserve to be there, i feel that i have wasted my Dad and Mums hard earned money on nothing. Quite frankly, i feel i suck. But something from inside keeps me going.

     

This something is your mental strength. 

As a footballer trying to make the cut as a pro, setbacks are a must. But should you let these setbacks actually set you back? The thing that drives me after every thing i haven't achieved is the dream i have of one day competing at the highest level possible. The biggest barrier you have to cross is your own mental barrier that you cannot do it. Once you leap, climb or crawl over this humongous hurdle, then you can start looking forward.

Every morning, i wake up and think about what i want to achieve in life. Setting s goal and working towards it helps in keeping you dedicated and determined to reach it. Taking disappointments in the right sense and using that loss to your advantage helps in your mental aspect.

Once you develop such kinds of mental strength that you can achieve whatever you want, you will achieve it. Because to be the best, you have to visualise the dream and the work towards it. On your journey to the top, you will make mistakes. Its alright to make mistakes because it shows that you're trying, because it is through mistakes that you learn.

So do NOT give up, no matter what. Keep pushing, fight through all the pain, fight through the bad days and only then will you earn the best days! 

Never stop working hard, because with hard work and mental strength, nothing can stop you!

Rise and Grind.
