countdown - 1 week

in exactly seven days I will be sitting in my flat asking myself whether I can from now on introduce my self as;
- Player agent licensed by the ...... association

or having the following conversation;
- hi (me)
- hi (avg joe)
- so what do you do ? (me)
- iam an account working for deloitte, you ? (avg joe)
- well, iam a football agent (me)



Thinking about it, this is what i desire and next 7 days will be even more dedicated on achieving it. Hopefully next week I will be 5000$ poorer (license cost), but 5000x more excited ...

is this what i signed up for - 2 weeks to go

my third post on this blog (why do i feel like girl when using words like post/blog) will unfortunately be quite the opposite of what i want this page to reflect. Negative, dull and unexciting.. the reason for this is shortly that iam in serious study mode. Due to me leaving my old office life behind me both my self esteem and wallet seriously need myself to get pass the exam !


After some research and many phone calls (associations and other fifa player agents) I realized becoming a football agent is not as easy as I first thought. Most of the feedback is that the exam is extremely hard, passing rates on avg 5-10% depending on association. A turkish player agent told that in the autumn 2012 exam 140 attended 2 passed, another agent told me he studied full time for 3 months and wrote his own FIFA encyclopedia for himself before attending !

This resulted in me giving myself strict rules for my 3 study-weeks:
-no substances
-at least 6h concentrated study/day
-total isolation


cant remember i once putting in a similar effort during my uni years
