This is the most important thing that our players forget about it. Just for kicking the soccer ball, some people get satisfaction, by just going to the field and play for nothing. You can imagine the feeling of being a professional soccer player. Getting paid for doing something that you really like doing, it is a magnificent feeling indeed.
Football career so short, I would like to ask our players especially the young players to start investing for their future, there is various ways of investing. These guys must make as much money as possible whilst their feet can carry then. They can invest in education as well because it is actually important to have some kind of qualification, one can express one self better during interviews? You all know what I am talking about. Our players seem to know all the hot nightclubs in town, but they yet to know a single investment company or how to properly manage their money and life.
It's really sad to see our local players feeling so rich and destroying their careers at the bars. I suggest that every club must have an Education system in their respective teams, this must be a requirement for every PSL team, players train in the morning and afternoon, and they have lots of time doing fokol so at least two hours of life orientation will come in handy for other players.
I challenge the under 21 players to take a look at some of their brother who failed to invest when they were famous, I won't mention names, but we all know what's happening to them now. They had all the fame and played for the good teams then but they spent most of their times at the bars (Gold Diggers) hehehe. Players from other parts of the country must be careful eJozi, gold diggers will do anything to get your last cent, I know of a player who bought a car for a lady that he didn't even know her properly, hehehe (life orientation could have helped this dude if it was implemented).
We all know that you can be a star today and be zero the next day. The teams are looking for your service but if you become a liability they'll let you go despite your history of being a good player. So it's entirely on the players to invest and make names for them when retired from football, or be one of those who say eish I use to have cash and abantwana! "There is enough diski eMzansi" (Tumisho), but there is enough players as well if current player relax there, they can find themselves in the stands or eKasi watching their former teammates making money.
Please guys invest so that people will have the respect for you even after you have long hanged you boots.
Have a lekke weekend people!
