My dad will always tell me to take care of myself. The older I get and experience life, the more those words make more sense to me.
We spend a lot of time as men thinking and taking care of others, family, and loved ones. We make a lot of sacrifices for other people while subtly neglecting ourselves.
A friend told me how he has started correcting that by ensuring he gets himself an expensive gift every year. Something very personal. Last year, he got himself a Rolex. This year, he is going to get a superbike.
I am going to start taking my dad’s words seriously. ‘Take care of yourself.’
This generation of players are really over priced and over hyped. Ivory Coast have 3 players above 80 million and you don’t see them going 1 v 1 or going riot against opponents. SMH. Meanwhile I am proud of the team’s performance. Very good World Cup outing.
