...ADVICE FOR FOOTBALLERS ON SOCIAL MEDIA...
If you want to be taken seriously for every message or mail you send to a football academy or club, there are 3 things you should take seriously into consideration.
YOUR NAME-
Who wants to take someone using Shmurda Kizz, Pablo Frosh, Yung Baller, Yung Frosh, Baller Boy, Whiz Kid and many other names like that seriously? You will be seen and taken as a joke.
Your name represents your kind of person. As a result, you need to look as formal as possible. You are a footballer not a musician or an actor into showbiz. Football is life to some people. So, it is a serious sport.
No club or academy will see it fit to give you the attention you are seeking.
YOUR PROFILE PICTURE -
Your picture after your name is the next thing that pops up. When you use the profile picture of a football star, an item, a location, a white guy or lady (which depicts high probability that you are into cybercrime) you will not be taken seriously.
People want to identify who they are chatting with and know how serious they are. In so doing, they need you on your profile picture to give them a clear picture of what you are promoting yourself as.
If you are an aspiring footballer, your profile picture has to carry you in training, or with a ball and a jersey or something to give it away that you actively play football. People are investing in the game and they definitely don't want to invest in someone who looks distracted or carried away by social vices and all.
YOUR MESSAGE OR NEXT FEW MESSAGES -
Another important part, don't go with things like;
-Sup
-Slm
-Is anyone here to chat
-I can play help me
-Hey i am a footballer
-Call me on this number +23481**********
-I am a goalkeeper, Striker etc
-Hey
-I have a question
-When is the next trial etc
These messages don't get the attention of anyone except an upcoming academy in desperate need of players.
