The legendary Sports Journalist Fabrizio Romano made a post on his Social Media Platform titled, 'Yan, You did it...for Roxane' But not everyone has a Roxane in their lives...I think Iam jumping the gun, the question is, who is Roxane. Now back to Romano's post about Yan's confession:
“You were the one who always believed that I could be the next Cristiano, when everybody else laughed. Remember when they took me on trial at Bournemouth? At Chelsea, Rangers, Olympiacos, Crystal Palace? Eze and Olise even came up to me after one training and said, ‘Yo kid, you’re really good.’
But they still didn’t sign me. After my debut against Madrid, I actually swapped shirts with Mbappé. Remember when we used to watch him on TV, and you’d say, ‘Mbappé? Yeah, he’s good. But my brother is better.’
I didn’t want a big house. I didn’t want cars. I just wanted to put everything into football. Everything to show the world that my sister was right.
The pitch is the only place that I feel at home anymore. It’s the place where I feel calm, and I can speak to you. I just wish you were still here so I could tell you. We did it.
Everything you said came true. I’m going to do what you predicted, I swear. Before I even had real boots, you were telling everybody, ‘My brother is going to be the best in the world.’
I will prove that you were right, or I will die trying. Your brother, Yan.”
Now Diomandé is joining Real Madrid…
Roxane was right. 🥹🤍" This is how Romano signed off his post.
Now back to our story. Do you have a Roxane in your life? The truth is, not everyone gets a Roxane.
Not everyone grows up with someone who sees their potential before the rest of the world catches on.
Most people grow up surrounded by noise, critics, doubters, and quiet moments that make you second guess yourself. Over time, those outside voices start sounding like your own internal monologue. You start believing you aren't enough.
That’s usually where coaching and therapy step in. Sometimes the best decision you can make for yourself is to bring one genuinely believing voice into your life. Someone who helps you cut through the fog when fear, disappointment, or old trauma starts taking over.
If you don't have a Roxane in your corner, go find one. Find a mentor. Find a coach. Find a therapist. Get someone in your corner who sees who you're becoming, until you can finally see it yourself.
That’s the core of what we do at ClearMind Africa. We’re not here to tell you who you ought to be. We're here to help you clear out the noise, reconnect with your strengths, and step forward with real clarity and confidence.
Because sometimes, having just one person in your corner changes everything.
