umn i think its really hard to make a living out of freestyle, but it sure is worth it doing performances for money or busking. In Canada we have freestylesoccer.INC and we do shows for whatever big company and sure its fun getting girls attentions, crowds and getting paid on top of it but u it should always be a side thing. F3d is now in Canada and hes loving doing shows with us

A Career in Freestyle Football......

It is worth it if you can become very successful like Mr.Woo, or John Farnworth.

Its a very tough life, im sure everyone who has relied on Freestyle shows for their bread will understand and relate with me.

In my opinion, travelling around performing one off shows here and there is quite cool, but there can be no long term impact in my opinion, and I am actually sick of it!

There needs to be a long lasting effect on the kids/people who see your moves.

So thats why I hope to start my own Street Soccer/Freestyle classes and camps here in Ireland, just like we have done in USA !
Its defo the way forward!

its not only hard work you know....

i dont think anyone can deside to be a pro. u must have the tallent, and it must be fun to practice.

i dont think anyone did it just for the money. not even billy wingrov...

Not that I'm a even close to being a little bit professional or anything, but I really hate doing performances sometimes. For me it's mostly in the weekends, and then you miss some parties and stuff like that. I hate that! In those cases I only do those shows on those days for the money, cus i would rather be at the party  :3some:

If you're lucky you're promoted alot and you get more shows. Then it's really great. But if you have few shows with small crowds it's probably not too nice.

Can you make a living out of freestyle then?

Can you make a living out of freestyle then?

Yes, quite unpredictable though, a lot of the time you dont know when your next paycheck will be.
That is probably the worst thing about Freestyle

I think it all depends on how much passion u have for freestyle. I am a very passionate freestyler but i also have other commitments, however i would like to promote it like t bagg said and have recently started my own freestyle academy in the southwest of England. :pimp:

I think freestyle gets bad when it becomes about money, recently i have started getting a bit pissed off and dissapointed about the lack of LP's and companies trying to screw you over, but i had to just take a step back and see what my priority is in Freestyle

1 - Improve as a fser
2 - Enjoy FS
3 - Go to meets
4 - Make cash

so i guess its not that big a deal for me at this moment in time
