well I hope your 2 sons do become pro futbol stars, but here are two pieces of advice, 1) dont push them too hard and 2) dont give up on them, in other words always have them play some kind of sport and believe in them so they wont feel like they arent good.
Im about to be 21 yrs old and I started playing soccer when I was 7 or 8, I never played ever year on a team because I have an older brother in which my dad supported and was always by his side. My brother amazingly was gonna start to play pro soccer here in T.O. at about 15 yrs old but at the time it wasnt looked upon very well. He was even called for the National team anyways what im trying to say also is dont favour your kids, my dad now IMO believes that I could have been as good or if not better than my brother.
i would love 2 play pro basketball, i love the game and i practice,practice and practice day in and day out.but i just don't have the athletic ability and in serious games i just **** up and play shit.i kick ass 1 on 1 and in pick up games at school.if it's just an easy playgorund game i will own ur ass,if i have the right mindset i am sure i can play with the best but my nerves always get the better of me.its all in youre head and it don't matter if u have all the skills,u gotta b in the right frame of mind 4 a game and use those skills in a game otherwise it means nothin.
that sorta reminds me of myself. I used to play really well in casual games, but in actual ones, I get so nervous, and I miss layups. But now, I just do Cross Country and Track. I had an injury, and even after the surgery, it still bothers me, so I had to throw in the towel for basketball playing wise. I'm still a huge fan, and I'll never give up basketball in my heart.
being a pro basketball player would be sweet. i was going to play D3 college ball but Unfortunately for me, i messed up my ankle with 3 games left in my senior season in high school. i was pretty good too.. second team all conference my junior season and first team my senior season. Led the conference in assists my senior season despite not playing my last 3 games. my team lost in the sectional semi-finals because i came back too early and messed up late in the fourth quarter when we were up by 2... switched on a pick and pop when i should've stayed with my guy and gave up the game winning three... i felt so bad. And my ankle never healed right so instead of playing D3 basketball, I ended up choosing a better academic college and haven't really played much BBall since.. depressing for me because i love the game so much, but i still make it to the local YMCA to ball every once and awhile
