“Discipline involves keeping your heads cool, be open to constructive criticism, following up with your training guidelines and doing all that is required as a footballer. Hardwork involves putting in personal training, watching the clips of your football idols and then adding some of their techniques that makes them great to your game.
“Out of this trio, passion is the most expedient and it involves loving what you are doing as a footballer and always ready to improve, that’s only when one can make a headway”, he advised.
