I have been playing soccer since the age of 9, and working my butt off to be the greatest out there. I mean, unless you're born with a soccer ball, developing skills takes time! I am finally reaching closer to my goal at age 14, as I have played in Team Ontario, and am going to try out for the national team (Canada) very soon. As far as how long it takes to be a professional, well, it all depends on you. Some blossom early while others strive to be the best. There are a million soccer players out there, and in order to be #1 you must really sacrifice your time and effort. After all it is an amazing dream you are chasing!

Answer

It takes many years to become pro. You have to practice all the time.

Answer

I have been playing football all my life. Many think you need to play at the highest clubs and the highest leagues or join early to a club. You do not. ,But You have to get the skills with a youth team or street, and then later in your life 16-20 get recognized. To get recognized play your best and high ranked tournaments. Just look at me i'm on the national team for Barbados, i play for paradise sc (one of the biggest clubs in barbados), and next year my contract with Bayer Leveruksen is active and all in the age of 19!
