Asian Soccer Star, London - We won the London FA County Cup, and it feels great; and this in my first season with the U15 (London) Wingate and Finchley team. One down and two cup finals as well as a league title to go… that would be an unprecedented quadruple if we could win them all.
This is hopefully the first of many future championship wins as I work towards my dream of playing professional football.
Asian soccer star readers are aware of the journey I have been on for the past four seasons (including the present 2010-2011 season); starting from a low level of organised football to what is probably the highest level league below professional club centre of excellence level.
It has been a hard journey but really worth it.
Today, I feel I have achieved something great. It may only be a county cup, but for me it’s the beginning of a new journey to play at the next level.
My dad once asked me, ” how do you eat an elephant”.
When I said I didn’t know, he said “one bite at a time”.
Although I knew what he meant I didn’t really understand it until now.
When you have a dream, you can achieve it if you take action one step at a time.
