      G'day from Canada to Finland, correct?
      My name is Peyton, and I sound very generic when I write comments, or letters, or anything. I really appreciate the perspective that you have, and your experiences as well. I am currently in my 2nd last year of high school and have played with my varsity HS team, and was asked to join a men's league team a few years back, and am finally able to play with them now at 17 years old. I have also attempted to start a connection with the soon to commence Canadian Premier League. I have played against guys in my weekly futsal club who have been to the CPL trials and also MLS trials, and usually can outplay them. I am just trying to show my experience. House league, it is mostly just fun for me, I scored about 35-36 goals last season and got more assists in about 15 games, but I know that this is not the pinnacle of all sport.
      Blah blah blah, what would you suggest to be the next step for me in my hopes to be involved with the game? I realise that the question may sound brash, but I don't intend to come off that way.
      I aim to play for a University team in the near future, and wish to have an exchange from Canada to Europe. I have lived across Canada, and am definitely unafraid of moving; I would embrace it. Of course, in Europe there are already roots in the ground for lower league soccer, though not as much in Canada. I don't really expect you to have read this, but any advice would be incredible. I work a lot and pay to play at the moment. All of the money I spend on soccer is my own; I don't have a money stream from my parents, or expect it. I live outside of a rural town, but we have a pitch about 25 minutes away. Combined with that, men's league, the varsity team and futsal, is this a well run vehicle to achieve my goal, or am I missing some major parts? I realise that this is very long-winded, and that you may not have so much free time, but I would gladly accept any criticism from an experienced professional.
      Anywho, if this message is or is not ever read, I still wish you the best in life and your career Will, please take care,
      Sincerely, Peyton Dagenais

    Im pretty much a self taught soccer player and when I got into my high school soccer team the truth from what he said cant be any more real. Being good isnt good enough. The coaches already knew many of the players so pretty much all of them are put at the top. I'm fine with it. You camt fight with history but I do want to play professionally not for the money. Hell if I could play pro but not getting payed good I'll do it. Soccer is just something I cant leave. It's the one thing I can say I love with a passion I cant explain. Mark my words when I say I'll become something out of nothing. Wonder if anyone read this.

I made sure to keep my head up and less than two months later I was able to make it into D.C. United's academy's system. Like Will said there are going to be up's and down's. You have to just keep pushing forward. Especially in a position as fickle as goalkeeping.

    when I was about 11 and playing in a recreational league, I had moved from playing left defender to having to jump in goal because our keeper had left to play club. Being the biggest guy on the team and the bravest I decided to volunteer myself as the goalie. I was not very good of course. however, as time went on. One of my teammate's dad had offered his help to train me. Thats when my whole life changed. At 13 I was the most feared keeper at that league. Clean sheets every game for multiple seasons. At 13 years old I went to tryouts for a local club. I made the cut. By sophomore year I had made a name in my city for being a well known goalkeeper, especially for my small stature. I had done so many tournaments and cups and seasons. I had gone to England to play in an international cup. Played in Vegas. In such a short time I was just overwhelmed with success. My dad always told me to not let it get to my head, but I did just that. I started to slack on my diet, my workouts, my exercises away from the team. The results showed immediately. I seemed to not be able to keep up with what was necessary to reach where I possibly could have been. To this day I still think about what that path would have given me. I am 19 now however, and have decided to coach. Hopefully I can help the next Jerry Bocanegra and prepare him

    This video speaks so much truth. Took the words out of my mouth. I’ve lived in 4 different countries to play and there’s a lot of things you sacrifice to be able to play the game. But at the end of the day, you do it for the love of the game.

    I swear I feel so naive at the moment, I thank you guys for actually opening my eyes. I know it takes a lot to become a pro but i mean i always thought it was just physical training. I just love football and I'm not even a great player or good for that matter but for some reason this video just makes me wanna work harder to prove myself :) that's why thank both of you guys loads for inspiring me to work harder than i have before

    I just feel like I have to say thanks! Thanks unisport and thank you Will and Tyler for taking the time to share the truth of pro football! I, too had that dream when I was 13-16 years old, and played competitively up till 18 where I had a couple of showcase games and got offered a couple of college opportunities in the United States but at the time I had to make a decision of soccer or education and I chose the latter as much as I love to play. I can keep my mind going forever, but not my body. So now I’m on track to become a physio and help other athletes stay injury free! I still play soccer on my spare time and god damn do I love it but I don’t regret my decision! I’m sharing for those that may be struggling with similar decisions and honestly go with your gut. If you think you’re the absolute best, then do what u think is right

    Here I am a year after the release of his video to share my experience to whoever wants to read it:
    II was born in 1975 and grew up playing soccer in Brazil. Started at age 6 in the neighborhood futsal team. Soon I was playing both 11v11 and futsal. At age 12 I moved to an amateur youth system program (Pompeia FC). Next year I was taken to America-MG youth system and soon after to Cruzeiro. I saw (and played with and against) some of the best of my generation. At 18 Cruzeiro gave me a pro contract. I was paid close to nothing but hey, I was a pro. But my career would end two and a half years later. After being loaned to America-MG twice and then to Villa Nova-MG my family told me to "rethink this whole soccer thing". I did. I regretted it at times but I felt like I wasn't really as driven and willing to become a football nomad to keep on going. The daily life of my short pro career included restricted time with family and friends, controlled meals, training, training, training, and sitting on the bench a lot. It wasn't for me. Good luck to all of you pursuing a career in the beautiful game.

      Héctor Díaz Since you live in America you can go online and try to find a agent that can look for open trials for you. Don’t pay anything to the agent until you are satisfied and you passed the trial. If that doesn’t work out you can also sign up at www.ncsasports.org this is a very good organization that contacts lots of scouts to come to your soccer games and they watch how only you specifically play. Try these 2 options! Hopefully this could help you in the future. Stay strong and never give up💪⚽️

      Just play with your local team. You're only 14, eventually you'll know other teams in your city or close to your city that are at a higher level than your team, and if you continue to join better teams at a young age, you'll eventually meet scouts as they don't check amateur local teams. Through your coaches and clubs you'll get connections.
      So just continue to play football

OP may be a little bit dramatic, but I get it why he say what he says. Don't just be defensive, just admit it there is a lot of things US need to improve in football/soccer. Saying ignorant as fuck while you suck at best is not going to get your point across isn't it? Example: watch Maurinho's negative comment to Ronaldo and watch what Ronaldo CR7 reply to negativity. Until you can't do that, then saying ignorant to the OP will not change his mind, you just talk just for the sake of trash talking, and OP will still think your team suck!

    Now I just wanna focus and just train and play the highest level I’m able to and always go after the level above.

    One day I searched in Google that do European clubs take Indian people ,the answer was that the don't pay attention to them and no Indian has ever made to European clubs. After that I felt very bad and cried 😭 for days and last my motivation.but after seeing this I am feeling motivated.😀

    Now I am in college, why studies will be finished by 20 I don’t know will I get any chance to play in any club and also I live in India were chances of becoming a pro is 0.1% 😭, I don’t know what to do ? - now in India I used to see player with no skill are in big league because they have money and political support 😔 and I Lakh in that 😩, Now I play in a local club as a left midfielder/central forward won 2 cup but they don’t paid me a single rupees 😞- and there was a under19 Indian team selection happened in Kashmiri but I am from Kerala I don’t have money to spend on airplanes+food+hotel etc but still I train every day harder and harder ❤️ with a hope that 1 day I will be a super start ❤️
