Mental Perspective
Being a professional footballer, you are provided with an opportunity to rub shoulders with people from across the world. You’re able to hear different languages and observe different cultures. More importantly, you’re in a position to learn from everyone’s point of view and perspective.
I believe everyone, more specifically, every athlete has their own journey. They have experienced aspects of life that are foreign to others; it is through these contrasts of up and down, joy and pain, that create our purpose on and off the playing field. My own life has provided me with moments and helped me actualize my purpose. It is what wakes me up everyday with a passion to attack the day. It provides me with the push, from a deep rooted source within in my heart, to keep moving forward. Athletes have a remarkable way of believing in things that haven’t come to fruition in real time, they keep pushing and striving without hesitation. This type of perspective and mentality allows for athletes to leave an impact on the lives of others and motivate them to find their purpose, their passion, and motivate them to reciprocate the same intentions to their peers.
Perspective is what helps me remind myself where I want to go and how I want to get there. Perspective helps me realize that for as far as I’ve come, I have so much more to accomplish. From a training, mental, and nutritional approach, I’m consistently seeking to get better, both on and off the pitch. This is what allows me to look forward to working with people and companies who are invested in my development as an athlete, as well as a person. Surrounding yourself with people who enjoy the hustle as much as I do is imperative, making my partnership with Bio-Synergy make all the more sense.
Throughout my journey, as I move forward, I vow to love the process and experiment with what works for me while motivating others to become better. I’ll keep digging, fighting, and grinding for more, as I look to reach the top of the world of football. Most importantly, I promise to maintain clear perspective.
