Cristiano Ronaldo is arguably the best footballer in the world right now and it is blatantly clear he is passionate about what he does.
All you have to do is watch one of his games to see he tears himself apart to get the best out of the fans, his teammates and himself.
I think it’s safe to assume Cristiano trains 40 hours a week, if not more, doing mundane repetitive drills in search of perfection.
Now you couldn’t give this training routine to a child developing their interest in football.
Why?
Because it’s completely devoid of fun!
In order to attain this level of passion and dedication you need to confirm your interest first.
“Passion for your work is a little bit of discovery, followed by a lot of development, then a lifetime of deepening”
