What's Asian Soccer Star got to do with basketball?

Really what has Asian soccer star got to do with basketball?

I was wondering that myself until it was explained to me.

I love soccer but I also love to play other ball games like basketball, tennis and even cricket; and i'm pretty good at them too. But after soccer, I really, really love basketball and thought that playing basketball might interfere with my soccer training.

I also thought that I might get distracted from achieving my dream of becoming an Asian soccer star and playing professional soccer. But here's the really cool thing.

Basketball helps with my soccer. I found out that if you keep doing the same training day after day your body gets used to it and after a while you don't get much benefit. So you have to push your body further and further.

Playing other sports works your body in different ways and you get the benefits of that.  Basketball requires speed, agility,  jumping and turning ability; so does playing soccer.

So basically you're getting a great fun workout that helps your soccer while playing other sports.

I've also started playing squash which is also great for building stamina, speed, agility and movement.

What i'm saying is not giving up on other sports I enjoy, because they are helping in my soccer training. I don't want to just work, work and work because i'll end up hating it.

Keeping the fun in sport is very important.
