College life is interesting and exciting, especially if you are an active and ambitious student. However, what chances are for you to become a successful and top-rated player?

According to statistics, the vast majority of college students have been members of a certain sports team. While some of them have managed to build a career, others gave up efforts after the first failure. Nevertheless, the struggle is real, and the success in the field does not always depend on the financial situation, intrapersonal skills, or social status.

Football is an exceptionally popular sport that is associated with passion, motivation, and hard work. If you are interested in the activity, you have probably heard such names as Luis Suarez, Angel Di Maria, Lionel Messi, Gabriel Jesus, Neymar, and many others. These are undeniably some of the best football players ever. However, if you have a look at the biography of each of them, you are not likely to find any information about high educational levels, success in business, and similar facts. Instead, you will come across confusing facts related to poverty, hard work, and similar struggles. Generally, determination and goal-orientation are the basic things that helped them grow in the sphere, master skills, and become the ones they are. Therefore, if life seems challenging and exceptionally hard, it is not the reason to despair. Instead, it is the time to use the struggle for the maximum benefit.
