How to Become a Professional Footballer

How I Failed to Build a Pro Club in Latvia Part 1

In this episode, I open up about one of the toughest chapters of my football journey; my attempt to build a professional club from the ground up in Latvia. I share the vision I had, the steps I took, and the early momentum that made me believe it could actually happen.

But I also reveal the hidden challenges; financial struggles, cultural barriers, and the realities of running a club in a foreign country, that slowly unraveled everything.

This isn’t just a story about failure. It’s about lessons learned the hard way, what it takes to build something real in football, and why sometimes your biggest setbacks can teach you more than your wins ever could.

If you’ve ever thought about starting a club, managing one, or just wondered what goes on behind the scenes, this episode will give you the unfiltered truth.
