To any young kid reading this…
I’ve doubted myself in every league I’ve ever played in.
Ryman Prem.
Conference South.
League Two.
League One.
Championship…
And even right before my first Premier League start last night.
That’s not weakness.
That’s being human.
That’s being alive.
When I was growing up, I thought Premier League players were superhuman.
Like they never felt doubt.
Like they never felt nerves.
The truth is…. it’s often the opposite.
Social media won’t tell you that sometimes you step out there with no confidence. That’s normal. That’s ok!
You now have to then step out there with courage.
Confidence feels good.
Courage doesn’t.
But you do it anyway. Show courage enough times…. You build confidence.
Here’s the mindset that’s carried me for 31 years.
When it goes well:
I worked for it.
I earned it.
Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.
When it doesn’t:
I know I prepared the best I could.
It didn’t go exactly to plan. That’s football.
But Well done.
Watch it back.
Get better.
That simple recipe gave me a special moment last night.
Leading the team out.
Playing alongside a group that fights for every ball.
Celebrates tackles.
Gives everything for the city of Sunderland.
And sharing it with supporters who never gave up, even after four tough seasons in League One.
So if you’re a young player feeling doubt…
Low confidence…
Or like you don’t believe in yourself…
You’re not alone.
Every player feels it.
Confidence isn’t something you’re given.
It’s something you build.
Bit by bit.
Day by day.
With courage.
With work.
With learning.
Anything worth building takes time.
But that’s what makes it so worthwhile!
Thank you @SunderlandAFC ❤️🤍

🚨 Liam Rosenior hits back at Jose Mourinho: "When you see a player upset how Vinicius Junior was upset, normally they’re upset for a reason. I’ve been racially abused myself.
"What people have to understand is when you are judged for something you should be proud of, it is the worst feeling you can ever possibly imagine. There are historical things to racism.
"I need to, as manager of this club, make my statement on it. If any coach, player or manager is ever found guilty of racism, they shouldn’t be in the game."

“I appreciate it because in 10 years or in the last two years it’s the first time a journalist asks me about that. It looks like you are now allowed to do it for your work…”
Excellent response from Pep exposing the sports media outlets that never uttered a word about Palestine for 2 years.
In an time where the game is constantly moving away from the fans, the pride I saw in the stands yesterday made it one of the best games I’ve ever been to.
AFCON has never obsessed with it’s own perception and that’s what makes it so great 🤲🌍
Thoughts here!👇

YAYA TOURÉ: “When I arrived at Barcelona, many didn’t know who I was. I had to fight for a place in a midfield full of stars. Guardiola asked me to play as a center back in a Champions League final, and even though it wasn’t my position, I accepted because I understood that the team was above everything. That day I learned that sacrifice also makes you great.
Then at Manchester City I found my home. Scoring that free-kick goal against Newcastle in 2012, or the goal in the FA Cup final against United, were moments that made me feel like the leader of a historic project. I always wanted to show that African players could be protagonists at the elite level, not just complements. And if I managed to open doors for others, then my career was worth it.”
