From age 13 I played football(soccer) at the highest level for my age. By age 16 I trained with Bayern Munich FC and Werder Bremen in Germany. I could not break into the first team so I decided to go to Asia and give my football career a go in South Korea. The week before signing my first professional contract, I twisted my knee and lost a huge piece of cartilage in my right knee which the doctors had to take out. From age 13 I was training twice sometimes 3 times a day to achieve what I thought I was meant to do. Hurt my knee, got surgery and couldn't recover. I stopped working out, now I am trying to find another motivation to stay in shape, its been 2 years since exercising. I can't run or squat that much. Would be great to meet some people here who have achieved amazing things even though they were in a much worse situation than me. I really respect all of you and you motivate me to get back in shape.
Wow it's been 3 years now since I wrote this. Great to come back to it.
