The sun breaks through the curtains, casting a warm glow over your room. Your mum stands at the doorway, a soft smile on her face and pride shining in her eyes. "Morning, love," she says gently. "Today’s the day! The scouts are coming to watch you, and I know you’re going to show them why you deserve this chance." You take a deep breath. At 16, playing as a striker has become more than just a passion—it’s your dream, your future. You’ve worked tirelessly to get here, honing your speed, sharpening your accuracy, and giving it everything on the field. And through it all, your mum has been by your side, cheering the loudest, patching you up after tackles, and always reminding you of your potential. "Go out there and play your game," she says, laying a reassuring hand on your shoulder. "No matter what, I’m proud of you." As you lace up your boots and grab your gear, the excitement bubbles. Today, the dream begins.
