Living life as a professional is more demanding than being an amateur player, Amateur player is free to do whatever they like, live life like a normal human being, you can eat as you like ,go out whenever you want, post whatever you want online but professional life is not the same
You have to watch what you eat, who you go out with ,what you do online ,many people started looking up to you morally and financially, dealing with your family and friends, dealing with your fan, taking pictures and signing autograph..
You have to be on time to team program..training, club activities, you have to Give your everything in training and games, you have to be discipline as much as possible especially when you playing in a country where you don't speak the language, different attitude,different cuture and different style of play.. I try to stay grounded as much as I can, not to allow the fame and glamour get in my head and also be in contact with my old friends and new..
The pressure of girls flocking around you, your fans demanding for your shirt and other stuff, being a professional is not easy because you have to put on your best attitude Every time even though you are going through bad time yourself, nobody want to know,any mistake from you is going to the public, the media will write their story regardless if its true or false..but I must say am enjoying every bit, I like the glamour and the challenges and hope to live this dream for long
