What advice would you give to a young footballer

This is a question I’ve often been asked.

Starting out as a young footballer is truly exhilarating.

Not only do you embark on an exciting journey, but you also set the foundation for many years to come, all while enjoying every moment.

As someone who has played football throughout my life, I can vouch for the fact that my youth football years were the most enjoyable.

With that perspective.

I’m here to offer guidance to all the budding footballers eager to enhance their skills and elevate their game.

Looking back, I truly wish I had this knowledge when I first fell in love with this remarkable sport.

A common question I get asked is on is it too late to become a footballer.

Now while some will be quick to say yes.

The truth is it really isn’t.

No matter how old you are.

For as cliche as that sounds.

Why is that?

Well, there is plenty of reasons for it.

Of which I will delve into deep in this post.

I will also go over some examples of footballers who have shown that it never is.

So without further ado let’s get right into it.

…

Today will see us go over some of the best footballers from Norway.

Now we may not have seen the international side at a big tournament in a while.

However one thing is for sure.

This country has provided.

And continues to provide.

World class footballers, who are taking some of the best leagues by storm.

So from the likes of Odegaard.

To of course the main man Erling Haaland.

This post sees us go through the best to come from the ‘Land of the Midnight Sun’

So you’re probably wondering how to become a professional footballer at 23.

Now in many people’s eyes, they see this age as being too late.

With most footballers nurtured in their youth, even as young as 9.

However, it isn’t too late yet.

You are let’s face it at a disadvantage.

Let’s not forget there is always another 16-year-old making their full debut at a professional level, each matchday.

However don’t let this deter you, instead, let it motivate you.

As while you have some catching up to do.

At 23 or younger, you still have the time to put in the work to become a footballer.

So what we need to do is access exactly how to make it happen.

Here is a quick summary:

1. Work on getting each of your football skills to the highest level possible. Through experience and exposure in the game.
2. Get yourself out in the public eye as much as possible. Nutmegging your siblings in your back garden, won’t get you very far.
3. Surround yourself with people who will help you achieve your goal. From friends to coaches.
4. Use social media to your advantage to get clips of you playing out and to grow a platform.
5. Lastly don’t take knockbacks so personally, this is natural. What really matters is how well you can shake them off and bounce back.

…

Now you may have come across this term called ‘Capped’ in football.

Where a footballer can apparently be it.

No, it doesn’t involve a player getting hit by a cap or anything silly like that.

In fact there is a meaning to it, and in this post I will explain how exactly this relates to football.

So without further ado lets get right into it.
