And remember, you don't have to 'give up your life' to become pro, as in focus on the sport and nothing but the sport. It depends on what kind of mentality you have. In the same way people get fired up and shout about, others are calm, collected and laid back. My mate, Dave (The Rave) Raven has played football/soccer for Liverpool and captained England youth and 19s. He's now moved to Carlisle (a team that won be ̢̮â¬Å¡Ãâã250 last year :mrgreen:) to get more 1st team. The point here is, Dave is one of the soundest guys I know. He chills, plays guitar, goes out, goofs around. I take the mickey out of him for having a receeding hairline at 20 (it started way before - his bro's the same), he rips it out of me for having an orange tan. Football is just a game to him, and that mentality has worked for him.
