How can I begin a successful career in Football?

Question

Okay here goes.
Im 26 with a science degree but that counts for nothing in the world of football.
Im based in Singapore and we have the S-league.

Ive never been selected for a professional team and Im too young to be taken seriously as a manager but in a few yrs who can say.

My presentation skills are not the best or even near good enough. That is to say I lack charisma or human magnetism but I am working on it . Obviously having money to spend on looks will be good.

I want to try football(sports) business ideally without further studies or courses because I feel experience is the best teacher and knowledge is a poor substitute for actual experience(obviously only positive ones).

And I am struggling financially because I made a silly decision when I was younger and took advice from ppl who were unsuccessful in life. That is to say they repeatedly had lots of bad experiences but still deem themselves suitable to advice others. So I wasted my years.

...to be continued

So I understand the importance of having money so as to be able to concentrate on my passions.
I do not think love of the game is enough.
I love the game its true but I have to love money otherwise I can not love the game because I will be forced to abandon it or sucide because I can not afford to live.

So I need someone just one good advice will suffice.
I need a roadmap to chart my course from footballing nobody to someone successful in the world of football. And have enough money all the days of my life.

I might be asking the worng questions but only because I am not experienced and I ask because I dont want to make any more mistakes.

Get down the gym you sad loser

Answer 2

Oh come on - you can be involved in football, but you're just not a player. You can contribute, just not as a coach. You can live life working in football, but bringing in enough income is a matter of spending less than you earn - regardless of earnings level.

Football programs need all sorts of people to contribute - field maintenance, sports medicine, water boys, stadium managers, security, concessions, etc...

Come on now - you know what you are realistically set up to provide at this point in your life. Nobody made you become who you are, you chose and now you and only you can move you from where you are to something realistic and different

Answer 3

Put yourself in the position of a team owner or a school administrator who hires these type employees. Now would you hire you with your background?
Find a way to gain an entry level position and work your way to what you want.
Try to make your science degree work within their situation.

Answer 4

Very simple really.

You have to know the sport like your life depended on it.

You have to have an overwhelming desire to succeed.

The only way is to practice, practice, pracitce, practice, practice and oh did I say PRACTICE!!!!
