How Has Being A Pro Athlete Actually Helped Me Discover Who I Want To Be Outside of My Career?

You would think that being a professional footballer would make the sport your whole entire world. Practice, weights, recovery, games, film, figuring out ways to improve, always on the mind. Nothing else matters. And in a way, that’s true, at least for me. I think you have to be obsessed with getting better and staying disciplined in order to see how far you can go, in any profession. On the other hand, being completely obsessed with our professions to the point where we neglect other aspects of our lives and put too much pressure on ourselves can hinder our ability to perform and impact others.
