Hi, im sorry to bother you but please listen.

I used to hate soccer, yesterday i instantly fell in love with it, being our teams best player for our gym class. Haha it doesnt sound good i know, but for a guy like me who knows not alot, thats good. I am only 13 years old, and i used to play soccer.

Is it too late for me to play again? Or have hopes of being good? Or should i just give up and leave the sport alone?

@roccomaniac1 - Ya just give up on it, even if you love it, LOL... I'm joking! I hope you wouldn't listen to anyone who told you to give up on your hopes, or said stop doing what you love! Never give up on what you are passionate for in life! 90% of success is mental (what you believe in, focus on, think about all the time, and feel good about)... remember that. You gotta work hard and train, but the main thing is following your passion. Good luck.

@topformfitness

does that comment still count if you're 18 years old? :/

[topformfitness]

@PandaliciousTF - Clearly it gets more challenging as you get older, if you're goal is to become a paid professional in any sport. You need to weigh your options and be somewhat realistic... but my point is that too often people let others influence their decisions and give up on their passions. If you let doubt rule you, you can't be successful in anything. If you have a strong belief, burning desire, and work ethic, you become unstoppable. (But be honest about why you want it)

i wish i had a smart fucken trainer like dat ;/ in schools all they do is make u fucken run. very bad training

[topformfitness]

@emericaordie15 - Thank you for the compliment! I agree... many school coaching programs are still terribly out-dated, doing FAR too much distance running and not enough interval training or resistance training. Hopefully things will start to improve...

[topformfitness]

@blackbird19971 - Sorry but that is incorrect. Another strength training myth that has been dis-proven by science. In fact you can easily do some simple research on the subject to prove that specific strength training programs can improve stamina. ie- circuit training, super-setting, power training, barbell complexes, etc. I suggest you look into it as you are likely very mis-informed. Good luck with your training!

@blackbird19971 LOL what's the reasoning behind that?of course if you over work your legs your stamina will decrease but that applies to all types of training even running.
