How to balance my financial work with training. And how to not fall behind while I'm injured.

So I'm working this possibly as my last ever contribution in this group. I'm a university student. Who plays semi pro football at age 19. I'm currently in my first year of university. And exams are around the corner. I approached my coach today and told him I wouldn't be able to come to training for like a month because of exams and he told me to stop football all together. I don't know why that felt like a blow. But I'm deeply hurt. Any advice.

Hello guys it's been a minute 😀. I have a question is it normal for a club I've never approached to email me and offer to pay for accommodation and flight?

Fam: Hope you're having a fantastic start to the weekend, you're feeling good, and most importantly, that you're enjoying the weather! As we've talked about before, pursuing a career in professional football can be costly and may take years to start earning income you can live off of. Finding the right club often requires luck and the right opportunity. Having a financial cushion can increase your chances of signing with a good team, as it reduces the pressure on the team to support you, making you a more attractive asset. Additionally, having multiple income streams and a side hustle can help alleviate financial stress while you focus on building your football career. That's the exact reason I created the course below in our Community: "How to Make Money Online as a Footballer" My Story: I started my business online about 8 years ago, and within 4 years, I was lucky enough to create a 6 figure income online, along with playing football. This is not to brag. This is to tell you, it's possible to do it. You know your boy Ricky's famous line, "anything is possible when you put your mind to it!" Here are a couple of the ways I have found to make multiple streams of income while playing football: 1. Virtual Assistant: -Offer organizational and administrative skills as a virtual assistant. -You can help businesses or entrepreneurs with tasks like email management, scheduling, social media management, and customer support. -This is “easy” and can be done from anywhere (which is your goal). 2. Remote Customer Service Representative: -Many companies hire remote customer service representatives to handle inquiries and support via phone, email, or live chat. -This role often offers flexible hours and can be done from anywhere with an internet connection. 3. Online Tutoring: -If you enjoy a particular subject, you should consider becoming an online tutor. -One of my friends first did this when he went to Germany to chase the dream of becoming a pro. -He did it for about 3 years until he was earning enough money from football to live off of.

How Alex Signed a Pro Contract in Finland Alex and I met through LinkedIn through a close contact. Alex has played most of his career in Sweden (in the 3rd and 4th tier) but recently just got an opportunity in Finland by using our method that we talk about in the "Sign Your Pro Contract" Course that is FREE in Our Classroom. He was able to send to see a trend in the market and see what clubs were giving Americans an opportunity! After identifying the clubs, he found a couple of clubs and used his CV and highlight video to his advantage. He collected tons of emails, facebook pages, and relevant LinkedIn pages and was able to send out emails and get himself an opportunity in Finland WITHOUT using an agent. In good news, Alex may be coming to Latvia as well to trial with my team that I manage. This is to show you that anything is possible, you just have to make sure to continue working on and off the field! Also, please let me know if you will be at our Q & A today at 17:00 Latvian Time. If you can be there write, "see you there." If I don't get more than 10 responses, I will not do the Q & A. Thanks!
