Football Heroes Made Themselves,They Were Not Born.

Heroes in anything or at any time in life were not born,they were rather made,to say the fact, they made themselves.It is a fact that talents exist,but talents alone are not enough. Celebrities, football heroes, rose to challenges of life before they became so.In most cases,they took a lot of risks to become what they eventually became.

The Football heroes were first determined to be so.They realized they were more than able if they could pay price;if the could give what it would take.They realized that if they would rise up to the task,nothing would be able to stop them.They then took up the challenges,damning the consequencies,knowing fully well that becoming football heroes was possible.

One writer,Robert Stevenson, wrote about Steven Jay Tasker of Leoti,Kansas as being superb during his time.He wrote that Steven was considered by many as one of "the best special teams players to ever played pro-football".He was "named Pro Bowl team player seven times,and Most Valued Player of the event in 1993".Although he was diminitive in height,according to Robert, he made up with his blazing speed and tenacity.He rose to become a football hero in his time.

Becoming a football hero,among other things,takes decision to be great,determination to achieve this,faith in oneself,training,mentoring and serious practicing.Steve Alford said about Michael Jordan: "When I played with Michael Jordan on the Olympic team,there was a huge gap between his ability and the ability of other great players on the team.But what impressed me was that he was always the first one on the floor and the last one to leave."

Heroes usually give their best in their fields.Some of the football heroes and celebrities always go beyond their teams' practising hours .They usually have private coaching and practice.This will definitely make them shun convenience and fun that others will be enjoying at their practising hours.Becoming football heroes is possible for every aspiring player,but the price is always there.

BECOMING A FOOTBALL SUPER-STAR IS POSSIBLE,IF YOU CAN PAY THE PRICE.

You will always become your choice in life.This means that whatever you become now is as a result of the choice or set of choices you made at various points in life.You can choose to be a FOOTBALL HERO,a celebrated footballer.Your success or otherwise in life will depend on the choices you make.When we talk of choices we make,they may be made ignorantly,unconsciously or by following some individuals.The fact that we make choices ignorantly will not affect their impacts and effects upon our lives.

As a player,decide today to be successful,not only to be successful,but to be a celebrated football hero,and you be surprised how it works for you.Ask those super-stars of old and of now,whether in fdootball or any other sports,they will let you know what it caused them to be heroes in their firld of sports.

Cristiano Ronaldo for instance gave more to the game before he could become what he became. Those football champions today,and even others in other sports worked themselves into stardom.That Legend,Pele of Brazil started as a kid player on the bench into becoming an hero. He was allowed to play as a substitute for an injured player when proved his worth,and since then till he retired,he could not be benched again.It was said about Thomas Lee Mack of Cleaveland,Ohio that he never missed a game in his career as a footballer as he appeared in 164 consecutive football contests.

If you know that what you are doing worths the salt,then do it well.Give it whatever it will take, and you will see that you will become a hero footballer.

BECOMING A FOOTBALL SUPERSTAR IS POSSIBLE.

Cristiano Ronaldo is a celebrated player throughout the universe today.He is a renown footballer every where and he is still in his early 30s.But was he born great or rose to greatness? I want to believe that great people are not born,they are made,either by self or others,but majorly by self,under circumstances.Ronaldo was from a humble beginning,but he was driven by certain forces which,if anybody desires to be great today, can push such a person into a celebrated football SUPERSTAR.These traits will work for anybody, in any field of life,and from whatever background. You can become great,it is possible.

According to Cristiano Ronaldo,he had a passion,a goal,a target in life,a very strong desire.He said he wanted,strongly desired to have enough money to get his mother retired from her "hard labour".That may mean the fear of poverty,and the desire to escape from the entanglement of poverty.He realized that the woman was only struggling to raise her children,and that she was not actually enjoying life.Academically too, Ronaldo was not a bright student in school.He particularly said that he hated English Language as a subject.But he had a PASSION. He then followed his PASSION - FOOTBALLING. He realized that he could reach his target success through this PASSION.He believed in his ability to conquer through this PASSION.He then rose to the challenge of life.

Cristiano Ronaldo left home at a very tender age.According to him during an interview, he used to feel nostalgic as he was still too young to leave home.He even said he used to cry in those early days.But the 'PASSION' kept him going.He was determined to make it in his chosen field.He knew that "A quitter will never win,and a winner will never quit."This means that beside being PASSIONATE,he was DETERMINED and RESOLUTE.He put everything he had to achieving his goal - time,energy and power.

Anybody and everybody who is resolute and determined can become great in any field.All we need is to give our all to whatever we pursue.To make it in life,we need to give up pleasure,but put PASSION,STRENGTH,TIME AND POWER.We sacrifice pleasure,comfort and conveniences.We must be focused,resolute and passionate.Have faith in yourself and in your ability.Jim Donovan declared:

"Today,I understand that all have the capacity for greatness.All we need
to do is take responsibility for our lives,learn to dream again,set worth-
while goals,have faith in God,and take action.We will be shown the next
step as lives unfolds."

Know too that : "Whatever your mind can conceive,can believe,it can achieve."-Napoleon Hill.Arise then into your greatness.Start NOW.

WHAT MAKES A TEAM,THE COACH OR THE PLAYERS?

A FOOTBALL season is about ending,and another season,at the same time,is about starting.The football Clubs at the existing various categories are buying players.Cristiano Ronado was bought by Real Madrid for a whooping sum of 80 Million Pounds Sterling,Steven Gerrard signed a contract extension of 26 Million Pounds with his Club,Man City offered Samuel Eto'o 160,000 Pounds a week,Benitez of Liverpool placed 5o Million Euro on Javier Mascheram.

There are also some news captions about some other purchases or failure to possess one player or the other,such as:"Seadoff turns down Ajax's offer","Wenger suffers Melo defeat,"{this talked about how Arsene Wenger missed out on top summer target,Felpe Melo,"Abramovich redy to splash 45 Million Pounds on David Villa","Liverpool may offload Jermaine Pennant to Everton".There were other news items about the transaction between teams and players,but the question still remains,What makes a solid,successful TEAM,the Coach or the players?

During the about ending season,when Cristiano Ronaldo 'was' playing for Manchester United, there 'were' also football stars at Chelsea and the other Clubs,yet Manchester United shone over these other clubs,becoming the delight of many football fans.But there were stars in these other clubs as I have said,was it because those at 'Man U' were better than those in the other clubs or better handled than they,especially considering certain developments and utterances?What actually makes a Club,the Coach or the Players?

To start with,Cristiano Ronaldo believed he was worth more than the 80 Million Pounds Real Madrid paid for his services,but he still declared that he owed everything he became to Alex Ferguson.Many people equally believed that the management of Manchester United was responsible for the wonderful performances of the Club.Such people believed that Chealsea equally had stars on her payroll,yet they did not perform as wonderfully as Man U.

Thienry Henry also declared concerning Fernando Torres, that Torres,Barceloner's striker,was a great player.He said he had always been a great player.However,he believed that Torres had to go to England to realize his potential to the highest level.What actually makes a successful,super and sound Club,the Coach or the Players? I will appreciate responses from readers on this issue.
