How i went from a fat kid to a pro footballer👇🏻

(And managed to get a better haircut along the way)

As a kid, I've never played in the professional academy🤷🏻‍♂️

I was small, fat, weak and slow

I trained only 2-3 times a week until the age of 15…

Obviously, didn’t have any "talent"😂

But what i did have, is the desire to go pro⚽️

When i started taking this training thing seriously, each and everyone of my "friends" thought i was crazy

🗣️"Only 1% of the top academy players become pro and you’re just a 15 years old pretentious guy, who has never even played a single 11 v 11 game!"

(yes, i played only futsal FYI)

Pretty good start, huh?

Nevertheless, the journey began🚀

Waking up at 5am to train before school, reading nutrition and training articles during the math classes, going on the pitch right after the school, then again later in the evening, to practice my technique…

In 1.5 years i made a hell lot of progress and saw some serious changes in my body and technical abilities📈

By this time, the idea of this "football thing" working out, didn’t seem as something out of this world, but there was still much more shit to go through…

After attending more than 15 trials with pro academies and semi-pro teams, I realized that i was not good enough❌

I stuck at the amateur level for 2 years, not being able to push things higher, even though i trained more than 99% of the pros do🙌🏻

Why am i not progressing anymore?

Couldn’t find the missing puzzle, until one day…

I broke my finger on my foot and wasn’t able to play for 2 months…

I considered to quit, but in this lowest point I discovered the "hidden" path to reach next level🏆

Getting fast and strong as fuck

You already know what happened next…

Working on my self in the gym has led me to a signed professional contract📝

After this tremendous transformation, not sharing it with you would be a crime on my end

That’s why this cult exists💪🏻

Honestly, if a 3 years younger version of myself would’ve watched this vid he would’ve gotten pissed off lol.

When i just got certified as a physical preparation specialist, i though all a footballer should do to get faster and become a better athlete- is to lift heavy weights🤷🏻‍♂️

After being in this industry for more than 4 years- you start to realize, there’re way more things that might help you to reach your athleticism goals, than to just squat, bench and deadlift all the time🔁

That being said, you should probably spend no more than 2-3 minutes on mini band exercises like that at the beginning of your workout, during the warm up🙌🏻

If you want to reach pro level- DM me "FTBL" and i’ll show you exactly how i did it🚀

Want to get fast?

Good news: it’s not all about genetics and you can increase your speed🔥

I went from being the least athletic guy on my U-16 school team to the fastest 10 meter sprint now in my professional team, so can you🙌🏻

Bad news: you have to put a shit ton of work🤷🏻‍♂️

Good news also: there’re not that many people who are willing to put in the work, so you have less competition🫵🏻

More good news: your competition is probably listening to Instagram coaches advice, who, by the way,have never made it to the pro level, nor helped their clients achieve it🤦🏻‍♂️

So, here’s what you need to do👇🏻

2 gym sessions a week✅

2 speed sessions a week✅

Progressive overload in the gym and high intensity in your both speed and gym training sessions✅

I.E. get stronger by adding 2.5-5 kgs to your big compound movements in the weight room each week (think squat and deadlift variation) with a good technique + max effort sprints with sufficient rest (60 seconds for each 10 meters ran)📝

In the vid i did a warm up for my sprint sesh and preformed 8 meters of A-Skips, 15 meters of Power Skips and 3 max effort 1/2 kneeling sprints💨

DM me word “speed” to get a free 5 step guide for footballers on how to become fast and explosive🔥

This is how to go pro👇🏻

1️⃣Find someone who has made it

2️⃣Copy his strategy

That’s it.

There’re too many people online giving you advice who has never done it themselves nor helped someone else achieve it🙅🏻‍♂️

I did both.

Never played for an academy and became professional football player, while helping others achieve the same⚽️

Online football school was created with a single goal in my mind: help you become pro🏆

I gave you every single thing you need to succeed, my friend🙌🏻

Nutrition, football, athleticism, mindset, mental, football IQ training and time management exercise to schedule your day✅

Congratulations, you completed the first step🙌🏻

You found someone who got what you want and helped others achieve pro level and sign contracts📝

Now it’s time to copy the strategy❗️

Stop waisting your time and potential.

Click the link in my bio and make it big already🚀

I’m waiting for your success story🫵🏻

Struggling with receiving the ball and losing it too often?🤔

This was one of my biggest struggles when i was younger, so here’s 1 tip that helped me go from losing the ball nearly every time i received it to signing professional contract📝

Think where to play your next ball next⚽️

While you want to reach the point of not having to think and play with your "instincts" like "fascia bullshitters" like to say (who have never played professionally nor helped anyone reach high level), you need to first learn how to play the game by thinking and analyzing what options you have❗️

This way you’ll develop your "instincts" and will be able to play without thinking as much🙌🏻

But you have to go through this stage of learning and thinking💭

Telling young kid to play with his instincts it’s the same as asking him to solve some magister level math equation🤡

"Just use you instinct, you got this!!!"

No, he doesn’t.

He has to learn how to solve 2+2 first.

And then a bunch of other things.

This way he will develop competence and will solve equations quicker, using his "instincts" developed by experience🏆

Use your brain more often during your matches and practices and master your technique with exercises like you see on the vid👊🏻

If you want me to show you how to become pro footballer (I’ve actually done it myself and helped others do it)- click the link in bio✅

Until next time💪🏻

If you want to make an impact on the pitch and be comfortable in your ability to dribble pass the opponents- this is a must to implement drill⚽️

You see, i signed a pro contract not because i’m special or have some kind of super power (that would be cool though…)

But because i was doing boring things (like working on fundamentals, training my mind and body in and off the gym, eating and sleeping well…) simple stuff, right?

And you can push things to the next level, i’m 100% sure.

Start training individually, give your best effort each time you step on the pitch and see your performance skyrocketing🚀

Imagine what it’d be like, kicking a soccer ball and getting paid for doing something that you love and inspired to do❤️

Now do the work, stay consistent.

You have what it takes🙌🏻

Are you even a footballer if you’re not doing cone weave?🤔

Honestly, this is the first individual drill i’ve ever did to improve my dribbling and the one i’m still doing every week🙌🏻

The variations are endless and the only thing stopping you is your own imagination💭

Be creative bro, use different parts of you foot, alternate feet, set up the cones in different patterns, go sideways, backwards and all over the place, you get to play with it⚽️

If you want to improve your dribbling, ball control, first touch and overall technique with athleticism, and get the exact blueprint to become a pro footballer- DM me word "pro" and i’ll send it to you🔥

Want to stand out on the pitch and have the best ball control in your team?

Of course you do!

This is easily the best thing you can start implementing into your training for your first touch and overall technique as a footballer☝🏻

Do this consistently for a month and you’ll never play the same football again⚽️

Do it with a wall if don’t have a partner by first throwing the ball in the wall with your hands, then performing an exercise and catching the ball with your hands again🙌🏻

Perform each exercise for 10 reps each foot, then move on to the next exercise✅

When you control the ball, instead of it controlling you- you can focus on creating goal scoring opportunities for your team and not being afraid of getting yelled at for losing the ball🤷🏻‍♂️

Have a good one💪🏻

What if i told that you can increase your performance by 41.76% (seems like a realistic number) by simply spending 7-10 minutes warming up properly🤔

It costs so little and will yield huge increases in performance, but you still refuse to prime your body for the work ahead of you😑

You’ll have better touch, improve your speed, have more focus and confidence in your movements and last but not least…

The last thing i want you to do is to get injured, because you were loo lazy to spend 7 extra minutes on boosting your performance📈

Remember, those who fail to prepare- prepare to fail (i’ve stolen the quote from some smart dude, so you better listen to it)☝🏻

The end was sick, be honest❗️

You might say it was random and well… you’d be right🤷🏻‍♂️

Anyways, while until the release of my online football school, that will get you to the pro level, left less than 72 hours- you get to practice your technique a little more, so that you can attend your first day of school being prepared👨‍🎓

You can expect to see a lot of drills in your weekly schedule focused not only on improving your physical qualities like speed, explosiveness, stamina, etc., but also the ones that will get your technique to a whole different level, one you’ve never experienced before…

Existed you see you there, my dear freshman, you’ve got a hell of a ride ahead of you🤠

Remember watching Ronaldinho’s highlights in aw, observing him controlling the ball🤩

While performing it as he did might be one of the toughest challenges you’ve ever faced, why not strive to level up your first touch to the highest level possible, so that you can stand out on the pitch with your technical abilities🤔

You’ve got very limited time enjoying yourself playing this beautiful game, so you better take the most out of it, become the best footballer you can be and play at the highest level possible🔥

1️⃣ Set a 3 x 3 meters box

2️⃣ Kick the ball as high as possible and escape with your first touch in each and every direction

Perform for 5 minutes with your weak foot first, then for 5 minutes with your strong foot.

Shrink the cone square/ kick the ball higher as the exercise gets easier for you.

It was one of the 100+ drills that you’ll get in my online football school, that lead me myself snd my clients to the professional level⚽️

If you want to pursue professional football as a carrier- make sure to click the link in my bio and i’ll send to you an early access to this online football school with your own day to day football, athleticism and nutrition schedule (wait for an email from me next week)🗓️

Have a good one❤️
