Friends/Family attitude to FS?

[DanTheMan]

I have some friends who think its cool, but others are VERY skeptical and frankly jealous, and they just say retarded things about it.. not that i take notice of them  :biggrin:

what about u guys? do people at school know about your FS etc? coz TF told me nobody at his school knows about his freestyle which is crazy  :dontknow:

[Balshi]

Yeah man, my friends always tell me the same old lame fuckin thing which is U CANT DO THAT IN A MATCH
And when i wanna do sits or somethin, they start tell in me "you think your M.A.D?"
And when i do uppers they keep o tellin me your tricks arent good even your vids( as if i have one :S) then i tell them i think im good for my level then all of them are like, let me bring M.A.D to show you what really freestyle is, and i tell them as if he's the best freestyler in the world and igonre them :down:
All the kids in school know about my freestyle and make fun of me
PS they cant juggle more than 10 times :saywhat:

[Hayezzz]

At first people thought it was stupid and like tried to take the mick cause thats all I did and stuff. But now I have been on TV and stuff they have all shut up. Sometimes people say Oli Hayes Football Freestyler and shit like that but in a good way and I just laugh at them. But everyone in my school knows I do it and now I have the fittest girl in the school aswell so they can be jelous all they want haha yeah boi!

[G-Man]

Ahhh... yeh same problem dude...

My family are really encouraging especially my dad.. theyve got no problem...

All of the lads are really cool with it... however some of the girls are different...

but like the last time i fsed in skool was like when i could only do 1 atw... maybe the reaction would be much differnt nowadays...

Oh.. and my best mate. (whos a girl) she faincies john farnworth so...

Yeah guys my family also encourage me a lot and regarding my friends they are totally jealous while some aren't !! At school i guess everybody knows am a freestyler and whenever i get the chance i do some tricks and get fame+fans  :biggrin:

My Mum dosen't get it at all.  I show her some tricks like atw and that and she's just asks why.
My close mates don't like it because we all play football quite seriously and we all compete to be better than each other so now that I can totally show them up with fs is good.  One of my mates, when I first showed him atw he was like yeah I can do that, then he tried and was no where near it.

oh moreorless the same here!!

mum doesent seem to have much intereest and I she doesent mind....my dad goes crazy with creative things such as stuff sean can do and I do the same and he really loves it!!!but If i show him a tatw-amatw nt....or a 10  move combo then he doesent seem to like it tht much

And I have lots of friends who love soccer...and those are one of my best friends...and they say its really cool what I do, some of them have a basic knowledge of freestyle.....and I dont suck at match at all!!im in a provintial soccer youth team, so  I dont have the problem of my friends saying:cool but I wanna see u on pitch....because they know tht I can play well soccer!!

But then u have those ignorants who never saw me playing soccer and say: I BET U SUCK AT PITCH!! and I just dont give a fuck and if I have a chance I kick their ass till they must go to the hospital

I don't know about any who dislikes fs except my former coach (who sucks). When i did tatw he said: "let me show you something" to embarras my skill and tried to demonstrate that tatw is worthless in a game by shooting at the goal from long distanse but he missed . Every one else think it's cool.

my parent´s don´t say that much about it...

most of my friends like it and deny me bcus i earn money with football  :cheers:

[redsforlife]

after reading the posts i guess its the same for most of us. when people see me freestyling i normally get two responses. they either completely ignore it like i'm doing nothing special at all or they think that its the most incredible thing they've ever seen. i have had a few people who question if i'm any good at playing actual football, but there are only like 2 or 3 people at my school who play at the same level of players as i.

A few friends try to be cocky about it and I just play the money card showing I can earn more per hour than their mom and dad together. Most have only been cocky once then after playing that card I've never heard anything again. Anyway most friends think it's really cool of course but most are probably bored cus most often they've only see me do lower. But they deffinately like it, most of them.
