Hello, my name is Furkan and I live in Türkiye. I am 15 years old. My problem is my dad. My dad does'nt allow me to play for an academy club. He wants me to go to school and definitely doesn't want me to go to a football academy. I want to do both. How can I convince my father?

"Football isn’t just about talent — it’s about the grind, the sweat, and the work you put in when no one’s watching. Every sprint, every rep, every drop of effort adds up. Success doesn’t come to those who wait; it comes to those who refuse to quit. So step on that field with purpose, outwork everyone, and let your hustle speak louder than words."

“Champions are made when no one is watching — every sprint, every tackle, every drop of sweat builds the game day hero.” True greatness in football isn’t just about what happens under the stadium lights. It’s built during the quiet hours of training, in the extra effort when others stop, and in the discipline you show even when nobody notices. Every small act of hard work adds up, and that’s what creates champions.
