get a job, get some money, be able to train and play as much as possible... be there when the opportunity arises... half luck, mainly skill, also ambition, determination and funds available
I think one important thing to do is make sure youre on the right team. If you're looking to be the best you can be, theres no point playing with a bunch of guys whos idea of training is playing a couple of games and hitting the pub...
lol, i can't comment coz i really have no idea, but i'd have thought that to be pro you need the determination and the ambition to do it. If you got those, put in the time, put in the effort, just keep goin and you will get to where u want to be.
