The ultimate dream: To become a full time, professional footballer. Doing what you love, day in, day out. Here at IFS, our goal is to develop and equip you for the best possible chance of realizing your dream.
While it is what we are all working towards for your future careers, what you mustn’t forget is that you are ALREADY living the dream!
Each day you are training, playing, eating, studying, resting. You are experiencing the life of a full-time footballer. This is the dream that many have but that you are actually living.
Being given this opportunity, you still have a choice: will you embrace it? Or let it pass you by? As much as you love the game, and the fantasy of the dream, the reality is it can be demanding, tiring and consuming. There’s hard work and sacrifice needed. But would you swap it for anything else in the world?
Applying yourself to a daily attitude of excellence, discipline, gratitude and learning will result in an inner growth and fulfillment only you will know. It will give you the best possible chance of continuing to live the dream of a footballer. However, being at IFS will give you more than that. IFS will help you realize other dreams as well. So keep dreaming big and keep working towards what lies ahead. But don’t forget to pinch yourself kid– You’re already living the dream.
