To become a football player, one must usually display interest in the sport from an early age, in order to attract the attention of a professional coach. It’s not common for players to jump straight into the high-ranking teams, and one must usually go through a series of low-grade teams in order to build up experience and fame, which are the precursors to high-paying jobs in top tier teams. Naturally, anyone wishing to be noticed by a coach must not only be good at the game, but also have good physical skills and be in a fit shape even before getting hired.
