"In a straight line, the only thing worth running is a race to reach a finish first. Football's goal, pursued in a straight line, is a severe collision, a tumble, and loss of the ball. Football's depth is the roundabout way, never 'forward, forward.' In football, to go forward you must go backward." - Dante Panzeri

“A few months after I moved to Paris, two of my friends from Diadema came to spend some time with me there. They had broken up with their wife and girlfriend and were sad, so I invited them, hoping the visit would help clear their minds. Great.

“They soon met other Brazilians, who played for a team like the seventh-division amateur league in the suburbs of Paris — all immigrants without proper papers.

“Every night, my two friends came home angry, complaining that they were constantly beaten up. So, I said: “I’ll go over there tomorrow to watch you play.” And I did.

“I arrived wearing a ninja hat, half disguised, and watched. The opponents were all dressed up, with their uniforms, equipment, water bottles, and a coach. And my friends’ team was wearing nothing: one in white shorts, another in purple, a third in yellow. The guys were hanging from the goalposts to warm up…. It was a mess.
At the end of the match, which they lost, I asked:

“Do you want me to train the team?”
I’ll never forget the guys’ smiles. They were so genuinely happy and excited, something I had only seen when I was a kid, when we would fly kites in Diadema.
I started training the guys every Monday, from 10 to midnight. Sometimes I would train them on Monday and play a Champions League match on Tuesday. I even remember scoring a goal against Barcelona on one of those days. I started loving Mondays. I couldn’t wait to be with those guys. We talked, I listened a lot, and I got to know each one’s stories and struggles.

“Some made money playing capoeira, others delivering items on motorbikes or washing dishes. All of them had a hard life, afraid because of their illegal status, with little hope that things would improve, but football brightened up and took the weight off their days.
On my first holidays, I went back to Brazil and went to talk to the ultimate crazy woman, my mother:
“Mum, can you make stuff for the boys there?”

“Say no more! She made travel polo shirts, tracksuits, match uniforms, training uniforms, everything in sizes S, M, L, XL….
I went back to Paris with 21 suitcases. The guys’ dedication grew along with their joy. We started training twice a week, then three times. We got promoted, and at the end of the season, I had a crazy idea. Another one. “I’m going to throw a gala for the team, just like PSG does for us every year.” I rented a castle-like nightclub where Matuidi had thrown his birthday party and started producing ours.

“I had already hired a guy who used to film for PSG to film our guys’ matches, too. I asked him to bring all the videos to my house so we could watch them and choose the best goals of the year, the top scorer, the goalkeeper’s best saves. Let’s show them on the big screen! Then I ordered trophies for the winners of each category. Hey, but what about the others? Plaques! We’re going to make little wooden-and-acrylic plaques with each one’s name on them. Everything was perfect. The day before, I called the guys together:

“Do you have a white button-up shirt and a basic black coat for tomorrow’s party?”
Nobody had one. OK, I will buy you some.
I went to the store myself and got some. Then I thought about their girlfriends and wives. I called the group again and gave each one some pocket money so that their SOs could buy a dress if they wanted.
The party night arrived.

And if I told you it was incredible, one of the most extraordinary emotional moments of my life, as cool as winning the Champions League, would you believe me?”

I am not ashamed of my journey. My life will be a testimony.
But if I could offer a word of advice to any freshman, sophomore or junior athlete in high school it would be to just listen bro. All them adults in your life not just talking to talk. They been here longer. They done bumped they head already. They trying to save you from doing the same thing.

Do not make the mistake of thinking your talent alone is enough. It’s not. Talent open doors. Character and grades keep you there. And if you already messed up, if your GPA not where it should be, if your name been in rooms for the wrong reasons… don’t quit. Keep digging. You can climb out the hole the same way you dug it.

Class of 29, 28 and 27 hear me.

Take your grades serious.
Choose who you hang around wisely.
Protect your name. Word spreads fast if you a crash out.
Respect authority. Nobody riding for you like your parents and coaches.
Work hard when nobody clapping.
Do not wait until senior year to lock in. That GPA do not lie.
I’m still figuring it out myself. I’m struggling but I know God got me.

Be intentional.
Lock in early. Pray. Show up ready to work.

I’m learning the hard way that my future is being built in the small decisions I make today.

Start now.

After 20 years as a college coach, I thought I had the recruiting process all figured out. But stepping into this new role—helping players and families navigate their recruiting journeys—has been humbling and eye-opening.

Being on the parents’ side has given me a whole new perspective on just how emotional, challenging, and unpredictable this process can be. One year in, here are the biggest lessons I’ve learned that I hope will help you as we navigate this journey together.

🚨🔴 Kompany on people who said Bayern job was bigger than him: “I'll tell you something in a quick way just to prove a point”.

“I was born in Brussels, my dad was a refugee who came from Congo”.

“What are my chances of even playing in the Premier League, winning something as a player, playing for the national team? The odds were 0.000 something. Now I'm a coach”.

“Do you just stop believing in yourself and what you can achieve because of what other people say?”.

“The mentality is to keep going and in the end if you fail you fail, if you succeed you succeed. but you can always become better”.

“Online you can always find stuff so I really don't take it personal”, says @iMiaSanMia.

Confused on where to start when it comes to high school or college athlete sports nutrition?

Here's a simple cheat sheet to get you started 👇
👉3-4 balanced meals containing each food group
👉90-100 oz of fluid (extra if you're a heavy sweater and using creatine)
👉2-3 snacks per day containing a protein + carb before and after training
👉7-9 hours of sleep daily and avoid pre-workout energy drinks that keep you up at night

“Football is to recognise and anticipate on patterns. You see all kinds of patterns when you’re little…and you anticipate on the patterns…”
Ruud Gullit

1. He’s seen it over and over (paying attention to the detail in his playing environment)

2. He’s made sense of what he’s seen and remembered it (thought about it to make meaning of it and processed it in both a visual and semantic way)

3. He can then make quicker and more effective decisions in games based upon what he sees in the moment (knowledge-in the game) with relation to what he’s seen and what he’s made sense of in the past (knowledge-of the game)

Mastery of anticipation and decision-making…

This requires…

1. Coach session design setting problems for players to detect and to solve

2. Coach behaviours that orient players’ attention to the problems to help them think about, work on, solve, and remember in-game problems

3. Player participation - attention, involvement, reflection-in-action, post session reflection-in-action to consolidate memories

It’s a coach-player responsibility…
