Here is the clash of 2 success principles: "concentration of focus" on one goal, versus "not having limiting beliefs" only being able to be a master of one trade.

You have to decide:
1) Do I want to make money to live?
2) Do I want to live to make money?
Both industries you have chosen are highly competitive- For best results pick one to concentrate on as a career and one as a fun passtime-
Although there is nothing stopping you from having an income from music as a passtime- good luck!

Ahhh...a decision on "two loves" and the short run versus the long run.
I assume you are on the young side because you may be considering a career in football (can also include careers in "modeling", etc.). Careers such as sports and modeling are "time-sensitive", that is, we "retire early" from them.
Because of this, it's very important to study, practice, and keep up with other abilities, skills, and talents so that when we "retire early" we have our "other love" to "keep us going".
Keeping up with music and the other arts means practicing music and fine arts by actual, hands-on activities and supporting the arts in a number of great ways....high school students, local musican/artists organizations, or playing in a band/creating oil/water color pieces, drawing/sculptor, etc, or example. There must be a dozen ways to stay active in the arts while in a "time-sensitive" career.
Best of luck in all your choices!

The younger you are the more diverse I think you should be. But as you get older you have to focus your energies and not be involved in so much. When time spent in one possible career choice starts to interfere with your ability to succeed in another, then you have a choice to make. You don't want to be a "jack of all trades, and a master of none."

You can do both, but if you were seriously injured in football, it could affect a music career, depending on the instrument played and the kind of injury.

well the more you can do the more you have to choose from, say you get hurt and can no-longer play football, since you know music , instant new career, see what I'm saying .Learn all you can .
