No Pain, No Gain!

5 Boys from South London have just received their chance to become Professional football players…but it was not easy at all!

These boys had played for Sunday league clubs as little boys, always at the football pitch practicing their techniques and skills. They both woke up early together, spent many of their free time in the gym, working those muscles till they couldn’t work any more..Determination. They had many friends who also had great football talent but they was not as motivated as these 5 boys, all that talent wasted but these 5 boys made the most of what they had. If there’s no pain, then there’s no gain. None of them thought the day would come, 5 young teenagers from south east London, soon to be playing on the big stage.

The quote these 5 looked at everyday when they woke up was ”Talent without ambition, is a bird without wings” In other words if you have talent but no ambition there is absolutely no point of you having that talent. As young people we have to aim for goals, and dream big if we want to be successful and have the dream houses, brands and cars!

The 5 Boys:

Calvin Ekpiteta – Started at Southwark Caribb FC (Sunday League) and is now at Oxford United Football Club Academy (League 2)
