🚨 Gregory Van der Wiel's incredible testimony about his career 😳🥺
𝗔𝗕𝗦𝗢𝗟𝗨𝗧𝗘𝗟𝗬 read this 👇
“I won 16 trophies. And I felt nothing. No joy, no pride, no relief. Nothing. I couldn’t enjoy a single moment of my career. Because I was too busy… wearing a mask. Pretending to be okay. Avoiding anything that might unsettle me. Showing that I had everything under control.
I wore that mask for so long that I eventually became the mask itself. A robot playing a role without feeling a thing.
If you feel this way, that mask isn’t protecting you. It’s killing you. Take it off.
What would you give to play without fear? To step onto the field and feel totally FREE. No pre-game anxiety. No post-game depression. Just you. Fully present. Fully focused. Fully yourself.
Most athletes will never know that feeling. They’ll spend their entire careers playing in fear. Fear of the coach’s reaction. Fear of the fans’ judgment. Fear of the media headlines. Fear of their own thoughts.
And they’ll call it ‘pressure.’ They’ll say: ‘That’s just football.’
It’s not. It’s a prison. And I lived in it for 15 years.
I played stiffly when I should have played freely. I held back when I should have exploded. I doubted myself when I should have had confidence.
The version of myself I could have been? It still exists, somewhere. It never saw the light of day. It still torments me, it still haunts me.
But you? You still have time.
You have time to develop the mindset that will set you free. You have time to perfect the tools that will make you invincible in every match.
This inner work is demanding. It’s the hardest thing you’ll ever do in your life. And it’s truly the only thing that changes everything.”

🚨 Vasco Sousa foi operado 21 vezes em 39 dias no hospital. 😔
A namorada descreve-o como um «herói sem capa», alguém que viu o futuro ficar suspenso.
A emotiva mensagem da sua namorada
📢 | Grupos Ilegais do Vitória SC (Insane Guys e Gruppo 1922) juntaram-se aos Grupos do SC Braga (Bracara Legion e Red Boys) num protesto simbólico esta manhã em Leiria.
«Porque na luta pelo futebol, para os adeptos, é muito mais aquilo que nos une do que nos separa!» 👏
Para quem sonha grande, o objetivo nunca é o fim da linha. Quando finalmente chegam onde queriam, percebem que são capazes de ir ainda mais longe. O sonho inicial acaba por ser apenas o primeiro patamar de algo maior.
Lesionou-se no tendão de Aquiles e quase teve o pé amputado. A mãe morreu de cancro e ele continuou a ligar-lhe sete vezes por dia para ouvir o voicemail. Esteve a "isto" de se suicidar quando os Wizards o quiseram trocar. Procurou ajuda e deu a volta por cima. Um legado marcante
Pep Guardiola: “I’m glad I failed. I love people who fail. In this society where everything has to be perfect, where you have to post your food on Instagram… ‘Oh, look how great, how happy I am.’ Every day we’re expected to prove we’re happy.
Of course I’m sad; I fail, I lose. And? Tell me one person who doesn’t. What matters is doing it, giving it your all, and doing it right. And on that, I haven’t given up. Things went badly, the results were worse than I hoped, but eh… there’s always a next day; I’m going to try again. And this coming year, I’ll do better. That’s what it’s all about.
We want to pretend we’re happy every f*cking day. And that’s the big mistake. I’d rather tell people: ‘You’re sad? That’s okay. You’re disappointed? That’s okay too, it’ll pass.’ Just like happiness, it’ll pass. We lost, we’re f*cked. Being f*cked is okay. You have to live with that.”
