From U-14 to U-16: Junior's Challenge

The day had arrived. It wasn't just any regular training session. Today, the pressure was on-my club's training, mid-season, and the heat was about to turn up. The grey London sky didn't seem to care, but I did.
I was already awake before my alarm could even buzz, the anticipation of pushing myself further than ever before. It was a routine, yes, but it was a serious one. I was ready for the challenge.
From the moment I opened my eyes, I could feel it-the hunger to improve, the thrill of being on the pitch with my team, and the knowledge that every session brought me one step closer to something bigger.
Today wasn't just about making it through the drills. It was about making a statement. The kind of statement that would echo through the locker rooms and pitch long after training ended.
