Sometimes you have to fall lower than you ever have fallen before, to be able to climb higher than you’ve ever been before. Don’t give up on your goals just because other say you can’t do it.

Jeffrey Bruma

Nowadays I think of myself as an example. I don’t look up to anyone anymore. I know what’s good for me and what isn’t. So in a way I am my own idol. I know what I can achieve if I work hard. And I’m the only one who can do it.

Bruno Martins Indi

Most important is to never lose the joy in football. Because enjoying what you do is the key to success. If the feeling is right, you are able to perform your best. It is easy to get distracted. So focus on your feeling.

Jan Vertonghen

Ever since I was a child I have had this distinctive urge for expansion and growth. To me, the function and duty of a quality human being is the sincere and honest development of one’s potential.

Salomon Kalou

I was able to become a professional football player because of my discipline: eat well, train hard, rest enough. There’s no shortcuts in this sport. Take care of yourself and your body. It is like a Ferrari. Make sure you put the right gasoline in.

Karim Rekik

Desire. It is that ultimate feeling inside of me to reach my goal, leaving everything behind to reach that one dream without losing reality, my focus and drive to always be better than my competition.

Nigel de Jong
