Disagreements in the comments please 👇🏻 #improvingallways

Stop making excuses ❌❌ • Go spend some time alone with a ⚽️. #improvingallways

I know the question you want to ask ❓ • I’ll get to that 😉 • But first the lesson you need to learn 📚 • Succeeding in sports is not just about how good you are at that sport 🏆 • As I played at high and higher levels I started to realize more and more 🤔 • How many distractions there are 😖 • How many things you have to deal with that having nothing to do with actually playing ⚽️ • Opposing players 🗑️ talking you constantly (because they will) 😈 • Fans booing and whistling (even cheering can be a distraction sometimes) 📣 • Articles about you and/or your team in newspapers (good or bad) 🗞️ • The mind games that even your own coach might play on you 😵‍💫 • The constant pressure could be overwhelming for anyone 😥 • Some of the best athletes in the 🌍 have allowed themselves to become distracted in the biggest moments of their careers… • Zidane might have won the 2006 World Cup for 🇫🇷 if he didn’t let Materazzi’s 🗑️ talking distract him… • He took his eyes off the ball for one moment 👀⚽️ • And he’ll regret it for the rest of his life… • But how you respond to that pressure is what will determine if you become a successful athlete 🥇 • Or not 😔 • Can you keep your cool?? 😎 • Or will you let someone distract you from doing your job?? 🫠 • Just like I let that kid distract me when I was playing in 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 • Or just like I distracted that player all those years ago in 🇬🇷 • When I frustrated him so much that I got him sent off, and he pulled down his shorts and showed me his 🍆 • Oh and the answer to your question… • Μικρότερο από το δικό μου 🤷🏻‍♂️ #improvingallways

Your journey to playing ⚽️, or really any sport, with confidence starts HERE: @Christo #improvingallways

There are no professional ⚽️ players who cannot juggle 🤹🏻‍♂️ #improvingallways

If you play ⚽️ and you never sat on the bench for 90 minutes… • It’s coming. • And if it’s not then what that means is you’ll never play at a high level 🤷🏻‍♂️ #improvingallways

It makes sense when you think about it 🤔 • An academy ⚽️ player isn’t the finished article. They still need to improve 📈 to learn 📚 and develop 🎓 • Take a young ⚽️ player with a good attitude 🧠 and you can teach them a lot. • A young ⚽️ player who has already developed a bad attitude though?? They’ll just cause problems ⚠️ #improvingallways

I’m not God, I’m Coach Christo and I help athletes like YOU 🫵🏻 play with Confidence 😉 • Watch this: @Christo #improvingallways

Will YOU 🫵🏻 ever take a Panenka penalty?? #improvingallways

When you tell someone they are 💩 over and over again… • Eventually they will believe you 🤷🏻‍♂️ #improvingallways

Do ⚽️ players make too much money?? Let’s debate 👇🏻 #improvingallways

No stress?? No adaptation ❌ • Set high standards for yourself in every session. There is no other way. #improvingallways

Need a last minute gift?? 🎄🎁 I got you 😉 • Grab a few pairs grip socks from WEFOOT to stuff in a stocking and use the code: Christo20 to save 20% 🤩 • Soft shin pads are a GAME CHANGER and my favorites are definitely from @Deco Atti 🔥 Code: Christo5 will save you 5% 👍🏻 • As far as ⚽️ cleats go, Unozeros are 🔝 for me. I won’t ever wear anything else. Code: Christo10 will save you 10% on the best cleats on 🌎 • For training equipment (after a bag of balls) the next thing I would invest in is a goal from @Open Goaaal USA 🎁 These are the best backyard ⚽️ goals around, and they’ll take any player’s individual training to a whole other level 📈 I use mine every single day. • And the big one would definitely be a spot at @DS FOOTBALL ACADEMY where we will give you the chance to play in front of pro ⚽️ coaches with the hope of impressing them and getting a contract offer 🐝 • Ask any questions in the comments 😉 #improvingallways #yourpathwaytoprofootball #unozero #wefootgripsocks #decoatti #opengoaaalusa

He’ll fit right in at @DS FOOTBALL ACADEMY 😉 #improvingallways #yourpathwaytoprofootball

Get off the 📱‼️ if you’re a serious athlete #improvingallways

Do YOU 🫵🏻 know who the greatest left back of all time is?? #improvingallways

The best ⚽️ defenders are the ones who are always ready for the worst 😉 #improvingallways

There is something magical 🪄 about giving myself an exact date that I was going to leave that team (January 1st). • All of a sudden there was an end in sight. Every training session got easier until I was enjoying them because I didn’t have many left. • Most importantly I stopped caring if my coach or teammates criticized me because I would be rid of them soon. • I broke through some sort of invisible barrier and all of a sudden I was playing the best ⚽️ of my life and I didn’t need to leave. #improvingallways

Too bad England didn’t get Spain to another shootout in the summer to continue the streak 😂😂 #improvingallways

Every conversation I had with a grown up when I was a kid 😂😂 #improvingallways
