How to Earn Money Remotely While Chasing Your Football Dreams ⚽💻 Are you a footballer struggling to balance your dream on the pitch with financial stability off it? Finding a remote job could be your game-changer – giving you the freedom to train, travel, and focus on football without worrying about your next paycheck. Here’s how you can get started: 1. Know Your Strengths: What are you good at? Social media, writing, organizing, or teaching? Identify 3–5 things you’re confident about – these are the foundation for your remote job search. 2. Explore Remote Job Options: Some flexible jobs you can start with: Social Media Manager: Help brands grow online. Virtual Assistant: Manage schedules, emails, and tasks. Online Tutor: Teach English or other subjects. Freelancer: Writing, design, or admin work. Pro Tip: Platforms like Upwork, Fiverr, and Remote.co are goldmines for these roles. 3. Build a Simple Portfolio: Even a few examples of your work can make you stand out. Mock up social media posts, create a basic design, or write a short blog. Tools like Wix or LinkedIn make it easy to showcase your skills. 4. Network and Apply Consistently: Most opportunities come through connections. Start networking on LinkedIn or Instagram, and commit to applying for 3–5 jobs every day.

Hey everyone! 👋 I’ve decided to change the focus of this group to something that’s close to my heart and crucial for footballers. We are now the Footballer's Wealth Academy! 🏆💰 What does this mean for you? Well, while the Performance Ebooks (Gym Program, Fat Loss Guide, 72 Crusher Workouts) will still be available for download via email, I’ve noticed that there are so many free resources online for performance that I wanted to do something different. I want to start helping you not just with performance, but with building wealth. 💸 It’s time to create something long-term for yourself and your family so you can stop relying on your parents or living paycheck to paycheck. One of the main reasons I see footballers quit the game is because they simply don’t have the money to fund their dreams—whether it’s trials, trips, or opportunities. That’s where this new focus comes in. This group will now be a networking space where we ONLY talk about: - Building wealth 📈 - Creating side hustles 🚀 - Helping each other make money 🤝 - Advancing up the ladder together ⚽ We want to help each other out, create wealth, and make this a true networking space for footballers. It's all about leveraging our connections, sharing knowledge, and making moves that set us up for success on and off the pitch. Let’s get out of the cycle of paycheck-to-paycheck living and start creating real opportunities for ourselves! Looking forward to helping each of you create that freedom! Let’s go! 💪 -Ric

Hey everyone, I wanted to share a great question @Collin Maringa brought up. He’s been running a 5K every day to improve his fitness, but he’s wondering what type of training is really going to get him match fit. First off, I get it. Running is one of those go-to activities that feels productive, but when it comes to football, match fitness is way more than just how far or how long you can run. Let’s break down how to train smarter, not harder, so we’re ready to dominate on the pitch. 1. High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) Football isn’t about jogging for 5K. It’s about quick sprints, fast changes in direction, and bursts of energy. HIIT mimics this perfectly. Try alternating between 30-second sprints and 30-second rest for 15-20 minutes. Trust me, this will push your stamina to match levels. 2. Small-Sided Games Want to get fit while actually playing football? Small-sided games (think 3v3 or 4v4) are perfect. They keep you moving non-stop, constantly changing direction, and working on ball control under pressure. Plus, it’s fun and way more game-realistic than long-distance running. 3. Agility Drills Quick feet, sharp turns, and acceleration are the name of the game. Incorporate agility ladders, cone drills, or zig-zag runs into your weekly routine. This is going to improve not only your foot speed but also how you move in tight spaces during a match. 4. Strength Training Football isn’t just about cardio. Building leg, core, and upper body strength helps with balance, power, and injury prevention. Squats, lunges, and deadlifts should be a regular part of your training. And don't forget core exercises like planks or Russian twists to stay strong in challenges. 5. Recovery and Mobility Work Your body needs rest to adapt to all this hard work. Stretching, foam rolling, and yoga can help keep your muscles fresh and prevent injury. It’s not just about working hard; it’s about working smart. The Key Takeaway: Running a 5K might build some endurance, but if your goal is to become match-fit, you need a mix of sprints, agility, strength, and recovery work. It’s all about training your body the way you play on the field.

My season just started and Im still struggling to run fast, Can you guys give me tips please? Do I only have to just sprint and plyos or do I need more than just those 2?
