Not really. I think I was naturally better than most and still am but now at 20 years old it's all a bit too late. It was my confidence which was my downfall. I never had good confidence and this always made me play unnaturally.
When I'm confident in myself, I think I'm pretty good. I'm a lot more confident in myself now, and once someone at powerleague called me twinkle toes after the game after I impressed against them.
However, now I am learning a new sport and that is boxing. It's more fun to take part in, it will hurt a lot more and there is so much more to it than learning football. No I'm not thinking about being a pro boxer, not going to happen but it is fun knowing the potential in the sport.. but you must be dedicated to it. You can't say to a mate, you wana go to the park for a game of boxing.
Back to the football side of things, I've known some people who were absolutely wicked at football and I thought that they were so good that they had a potential pro career in the sport. But when these people got older they turned their heads facing towards beer, drugs and women - these three are the biggest career destroyers!
