Sam Albinson wakes up at 7:00AM sharp, ready to start his day and press forward in his dream of being the greatest footballer he can be. He immediately gets up and takes a cold, relaxing shower. It took a while for him to get used to them, but now that he has, its what he craves every morning, that sudden burst of energy helping him pull through the day. He gets out the shower and begins to make his breakfast, a nice mix of proteins to build his body and carbs to give him the energy he needs to be at the top of his game. He quickly brushes his teeth and drives to Port Royals training centre, getting there for 8:30AM, half an hour than what was said by his coaches. He wanted to get any head start he could in his career, as it could mean the difference between a life of football or a failed career.
He gets on the training pitch, warming up for the training ahead, but also making sure he's not too taxing on his body. He'd heard that story all too often, a young footballer trying their hardest, just to have their careers stripped from them due to injuries, something that Albinson could not afford. His teammates eventually show up, joining him in the training that they all know are essential to attract attention from any of the big clubs that may be circling the academy teams at any moment. Albinson knows that if he does want to fulfil his dream, he not only need to excel in his matches, but also in training. While the start of his career has been far from abysmal, there is definitely a lot of room for improvement that could shoot him to the very top, he just has to keep his focus and keep his head down.
After training had finished up and he had socialised with his teammates for a while, he immediately heads home, running a hot shower with bath salts while reading one of his football books, 'Inverting the Pyramid'. If he was to become one of the best, he had to not only know to play football, but how it works, the history of the sport and each and every intricate detail he could stuff inside of his head. After he is done, he goes onto his console, playing a few games of FIFA before eventually heading off to bed, knackered but ready for the next day.
"One day at a time..."
