Looking for some advice on someone who is playing a high level of football or for someone who has some knowledge or tips about high levels of sport in general.

I am 15 years old and I have been playing football since i was 6 years old, I live in Australia. Playing football at a high level has always been my dream. I currently play at local club level (Division 1) I want to make it to the next level.

My questions are,

Is it too late to make it, and how can I do it?

its never too late, my first game of paintball was when i was 14, by the time i was 17 almost 18 i was playing Div 1 national league. u gotta play and play and play.

thing i found the best was i played against one of the best teams in edmonton, got destroyed week after week after week after week. but everytime i lost i knew what i had to change, growing physically and mentally, learning exactly how to do it perfectly otherwise i got shot. u gotta practice, and lots of it. hours and hours even doing the most simple drills

Thanks a lot for your advice, you have restored some confidence in me, this week i gained a trial for a state team, im working really hard to be prepared.

Thanks!
