7 MISTAKES To Avoid To Become A Pro Footballer (2024 Edition)

Probably my most honest video yet. I think it’s incredibly important to be fully honest with yourself and your flaws, but that’s the only way that you’ll ever be able to correct them and grow even stronger.

Hey Oscar! Not sure if you remember me but last year I used to comment on each and every single one of your videos whenever you’d post them as I really wanted to become a professional footballer. My juggling record then was around 117-134 but I kept practicing and three months ago i finally made it to 290. I was getting better at football and felt as if it was too easy for me which was a huge mistake and so once summer break came around I was at home relaxing spending time with family or playing video games. That was a huge mistake. I hadn’t been outside playing football for a WHOLE month since summer break but i decided to play football again last week. My juggling got a lot worse. I could only do three the first 10 times i tried to juggle. I almost cried as I would always average at least 110 or more every time. I slowly made it to 20 and then 50, 60, 70, 100 and then 150 but I wasn’t so consistent anymore. I had lost my skills as well as I play as a skillful winger (my friends would compare me to Neymar) and I saw that i didn’t have them anymore + my skills and showboating is what im known for. I started deciding to watch football again. I stopped scrolling for hours on tiktok watching football edits and funny videos and instead searched football tutorials again and player skills on YouTube instagram and tiktok. I could do around the worlds effortlessly then but now it takes me 5 tries or more. I have a school football tournament in two months and if I am so behind then where are my friends in their journey? I used to be better than most but I started overthinking that maybe my friends had surpassed me in playing football. I really don’t know what I can or will do in order to go back to my previous state in football or maybe even better as I have downgraded a lot. Do you know what I can do to become as good as I was before? 🙏🏾

Honestly, your videos are beautiful, it's clear that you put a lot of effort into them and that (I hope) they help me have a decent career. I hope your channel reaches at least 50,000 Subscribers within the end of the year

I just wanted to send you some encouragement. Your content is amazing, and it's clear you put a lot of hard work into it. Remember this quote: "The struggle you're in today is developing the strength you need for tomorrow." 💪 Keep going, even when it gets tough. Your efforts are truly appreciated! 🙌

This could just be the key to rejuvenating my career and mindset, I started football very late but still managed to get into a lower division academy because the technicality was never really a problem, but the mental side of the game has always been a struggle. In one of my previous games I had a nervous breakdown that was so bad that I faked an injury just to get subbed off and it was one of my lowest moments. This video has given me a lot of answers that I've been looking for. Thanks Oskar 🙏

I made the exact mistakes when I was younger what made me quit football wich I still regret alot. I’m now 3 years back in football and since 2024 I wanted to be a better version of myself so I did research on how and this was actually rlly important now I play on some high division luckily. For everyone don’t give up

Crazy to think at times you feel as if you’re the only one who’s angry after a match, for years and then just out of nowhere you appreciate the matches more and more regardless of the outcome

Broo with this videos if I watch it when it’s done I’m directly going to the pitch you make the best videos bro keep it up👏👏🙌🤝

Great advice! Need more channels helping young footballers get better 😅

You always come up with things which I want the most thank you oskar

Thank You Oskar these videos are very helpful they will definitely help out future professionals

I wanna become a professional player, but I live in Africa

Now I am focusing mainly one akill for a month, somedays the training might be worse than yesterday. It lowers my confidence . And somedays i am afraid to do the drills that i am doing consistently because of these. These mindset is preventing from doing training. I know i want to focus on process rather than focusing more on growth .

Nice vid as usual! Most of these all are things I can relate to that I struggle with, so I’ll make sure to keep these in mind. I’m just getting off a minor injury so I know my technical ability will be quite poor for the week to come. I’ll focus extra on fixing these areas, since these are all things that would help me improve. I’ve always had confidence issues that ruin my performance in games and make me one of the worst players on the pitch. I can especially notice this when playing small sided games with friends and other people that are better than me, and yet I always play as the best person there. Yet in full games something in my brain just turns off. I play way too safe and hesitate completely, then I beat myself up after the game. The season is starting soon for me and I still have improved greatly over the summer so I’ll work on these tips to completely fix my game. Thank you so much for the great vid and I hope u have a blessed day 💪

I want some drills for training my mind

Thanks for the video
