I think one thing that sets me apart is that I experience football through both a player’s and a coach’s lens. I was always a bit like this, but as I’m getting older, I find myself thinking more and more like a coach too. Even the simplest training drill makes me think about what it actually develops and how it could be done more effectively.
That’s a really good question. Honestly, my life has probably revolved around football a little too much, and that’s something I still need to improve. As a kid, I used to draw a lot, and that was how I expressed my creative side. Maybe it’s time to reconnect with that again just to switch off and be creative. Fun fact: I design football kits and badges now, so apparently I still can’t escape football. 😅
@Noah Cavanaugh Yes, I think so. Football comes first, but kit design has become a great creative outlet and something I genuinely enjoy. Here is a jersey which I designed in a last few days.
Moving to another country and stepping outside my comfort zone.A few years ago, I would never have imagined doing this. Thanks for these questions, by the way. They’re helping me a lot.🙏
Honesty and authenticity. I know I could probably grow faster with different types of content. For example, quizzes or reaction videos seem to perform better in the football community. But I don’t want to pretend to be someone I’m not. I genuinely enjoy creating coaching, educational, and thought-provoking football content more. I’d rather grow slower by being myself than grow faster by playing a role.
My most successful Reels on Instagram were my matchday vlog videos. Lately, the ones performing well are short 5-second clips where I explain the details in the caption.
