i know what that feels like when people drive past while ur training intensly and it makes you think that they think your crazy. i live in a rural area, where soccer isnt really big, and i get embarrassed to admit id spend ages every day training. i still sometimes run and hide when cars drive past my house. but sometimes you have to remind yourself, assuming you wanna go far with the sport, ignore the peopel. if playing soccer is what makes you happy then why should you care about other peoplez opinions? beleive me, youll feel so grateful for all the training when you do something spectacular in a game, you wont care about what random people you didnt know thought about you. but if its really getting you down, consider practising at a different place.

True, in my school my friends never train alone, so when someone is practicing alone, they think the guy is an outcast..but i try to forget them and keep on practicing, coz one day u will achieve on all your hardwork

Forget where you are and what you are. Just focus on the ball and improving yourself.

i think it has something to do with the location as well. it would be pretty normal to see a kid in england practising in the park but here where i live things are different. if u start getting fit and eating healthier for sport people think u r crazy coz its just a game. sum people just dont understand its more than that. id REALLY hate to be sitting in a boring office wishing i had trained more when i younger and not cared about what other people thought. thats also what motivates me 2 train.

I've had really no problem with people looking at me train at all. The only thing that pissed me off was people who decide to talk shit from 100 yards away and try to make you look stupid and feel big because they're in a pack.

I know exactly what you are talking baout. Where I train in the summer, it is right next to a busy road. I am usually training at high intensity and every once in a while people beep or yell out their car window. Just think to yourself that you are in a way superiour to them because you are out getting physical activity and using your body the way it was designed to be used. Alot of people are lazy shits and don't do anything in terms of physical activity. You are trying to accomplish goals for yourself which is very rare now a days. Most kids sit inside playing video games and watching tv. Let them think what they want. It's easy to run your mouth, but it takes effort and hard work to accomplish goals you set out for yourself. Just think you are unique in the society we live in now a days. Don't let that get you down, it should only make you push yourself harder. You are only advancing far beyond those people that yell or make comments. They are the insecure ones. |

i like when people watch me playing alone.
ha, i always have this crazy idea of some EPL scout seeing me and coming up to me offering a position on a team, seeing as how im so dedicated and what not, hah 
but just do what you like, man, who cares what other people think, i stopped caring a long time ago. if a quiz is quizzical, then what's a test?

Thats funny, I think the same exact thing sometimes when a car is parked near the field or there are people sitting and watchig me. It only makes me push harder. |

One of my best friends and me used to train in August at one of the local schools, problem is that it was also football practice season. So we would be working on freekicks and the football players would be talkin shit to us. That was one of the things that pisses me off the most, they dont even play and they have no idea how hard people train and then they go talk shit, but i do get a laugh when the offensive linemen try and fuck with me and their the ones weighing 170 lbs and cant run the sprints in their practices...

I go to a local football field and practice for hours. I practice dribbling, shooting, or whatever i need to work on. I don't worry about the people around me, heck, I don't even look around to see if people are around me. The best thing is to just ignore the people and focus on your training. And I don't know why people call you a lowlife. You are doing something good for your body and you are practicing the sport that you love. Nothing wrong with any of that. To tell you the truth, they are the actual lowlifes for calling you a lowlife (if that makes any sense at all  ).

Well here is my story: I was on a really good team one of the better in the state. The coach decided I was not good enough to actually play in games so when tryouts came around I tried out for a worse team. Now almost everyday
I will go to the field where my old team practice and I will train alone for 1-2 hours. Everyday people will watch me train alone while others are practicing with teams and wonder what I am doing. Even worse the players from my old team who think they are far superior to me, ask me why I train so hard if I am not even that good. This just motivates me even more to train and show them up someday, hopefully soon. |
