One of the things we got to understand early in life, infact during our formative years was this compelling attitude from our parent in which we are compelled to go study more, facing our books and doing nothing else but that.
Amazingly, nearly every child that obeyed that order back then are now great in one capacity, or the other. But then, it will amaze you to know that not all children back then are fulfilled career-wise or even happy today.
Some are sad, regretting why they have yielded father or mother’s decision at the detriment of what gives them joy the more.
Diving into the main issue of discourse, football today has now become a sporting activity that every child on the street will want to play. but then most potential footballers are lost to (permit me to say) the selfish desires of their parent after they are led out of what would have given them a name, make them fulfil destiny, pay their bills and liberate them financially for life.
Well, for all parents out there reading this, this is not the time to worry. Maybe after reading these 5 reasons, you will adjust and see the reasons your boy or daughter should become a footballer.
1. Footballers are good family name publicist
When you mention the lady who was recently crowned by CAF as the best African female footballer of the year, a name comes first in the picture, ‘Oshoala’. The family name Oshoala will first because people are best identified with their surname. Even in school we are identified first by our surname.
2. One professional footballer in the family can liberate a family from poverty
You wouldn’t argue the fact that most footballers are paid in Foreign currency and that means a lot to native people from their respective countries. An average footballer may not have any reason to touch his or her weekly pays since there is enough provisions from his club to cover some little household -like expenses. This been established, most footballers simply set their families up (financial liberation ), paying them periodically and having a family payroll for his or her siblings.
3. Being a Professional footballer opens door of multi dollar endorsements
When we mention world endorsements, names like David Beckham, Cristiano Ronaldo, Jay Jay Okocha, Lionel Messi, Kanu Nwankwo, etc comes to mind. This is another source of income generation for football stars. Amazingly, star players never struggle to get.
4. Footballers are one of the best Peace/humanitarian advocates in the world
People tend to listen to them as they have gained their respect and professionalism over the years. Like you can confirm it now, every top notch footballers in the world are either engaged in a peace advocacy program or on other humanitarian courses.
5. Successful footballers are always relevant
Beckham as a successful footballer has earn the respect of quite a lot of football enthusiast. When he married his wife, Victoria who was already a star (Pop groupbeing part of the Spice girls) on her own as well contributed to Beckham’s fame as he was sought after by clothing designers, health and fitness outfit fashion magazines etc.
