⚽️🇮🇹 You may have heard that Asmir Begovic signed for AC Milan. What you may not know, is that Begovic grew up in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada 🇨🇦 I actually played with him for a few years while we were both part of the Alberta Provincal Youth Team @albertasoccer Every young player can learn some valuable lessons from Begovic’s rise 📈 to the top levels of professional football. 1️⃣ Act while you’re young. Yes, it’s possible to become a professional when you’re older. However, the longer you wait. The harder it becomes. Take risks when you are young - you will never regret trying and in the worst case you will gain priceless experience. 2️⃣ Passports matter. Your family’s heritage will increase your chances of playing football in different countries. There are restrictions and expenses included when clubs sign foreign players. The good news? You can usually get a passport if your grandparents / parents have foreign citizenship. These are just two ideas that may help you on your journey. Obviously, you need to be “good enough” to play at the top level but you must also take action. ⭐️ Don’t wait for anything to happen. Make it happen.
