When I was in my teens and twenties, I was always trying to create value that suits the market, and I was always struggling with the desire to express myself in my heart. that I think when I look back on it now, but since I was in my thirties, I didn't have the consciousness of "market" in the first place, or I began to simply express the value I wanted to express.
Creating the value of yourself according to the market is sometimes required to be completely different from what you want to express. And as long as there is a concept of "competition" in the world of sports, "results / outcomes" are always required.
I think the market for the profession of soccer players is quite large. There are really different styles and values of clubs in sports played in countries around the world. So how do you find a place to show your talent suits in that big market?

Analysis of the conditions under which your talent is demonstrated
First, analyze what are the conditions under which your talent is demonstrated. This is also a difficult part to find if you are in the same environment, so you may need to change the environment several times. There is always a market that suits your talent, so do you move around to find it or adapt yourself to that market?
I'm sure this will change depending on each person's personality, nature, and talent, and I think it will also change greatly depending on the phase of life. So I feel that which is not right, and which values do you want to live with.
Under what conditions will my talent be demonstrated and what is my talent by continuing to change the environment since I moved to Germany at the age of 22. Now I can know that in a deeper way.
Some people are more talented by changing countries, while others are more talented by changing teams.
In my case, by not staying in one place, I was able to know more about myself, and by playing with more people, what kind of values do I want to cherish? I think I was able to notice.
Analyzing yourself and knowing yourself directly leads to making your life more enjoyable. Of course, this is not an easy task, but I'm sure that the fun of waiting after the hard work will enrich your life.
Choices opened by continuing to pursue results
There is a "phase in which I was pursuing only results" in my life. This phase was very painful, but it was also fun at the time. In this phase, I chose "effort" to let go of the accumulated values and adapt to the market.
When I use the word "effort", I recently thought that it was a word I used when I didn't want to do it from the bottom of my heart and it was not fun. That I was doing it.
It's probably impossible for me to do this again. ;;Bitter smile;;
However, I feel that continuing to pursue this result has definitely opened up more options. The result you left will not disappear. However, if you stick to it, you will not be able to grow forever.
Despite the fact that there was an environment where results could be obtained for me (in Potsdam), I ran into more hardships by daring to jump out in search of my own growth. It was more than I had imagined. However, in any environment, it was possible to produce results "as it is" even if it was not "overwhelming".
It was a time when I was playing with the "heritage" that I left behind in the Potsdam era, and I felt the limits of it and began to face my body and skills more.
I think it is only a matter of paper whether we can notice this and change direction. I think that is because it has a great influence on the encounter with people. I myself was blessed with encounters with people, so I was able to gain this kind of awareness and think that I was able to change myself.
The pursuit of results was painful for me, but it gave me many options in the future five or ten years from now.
Creating value that does not suit the market
I Express what I really want to express. This is the part that underlies me now. Even if that doesn't apply to the value of a market where many people gather, I want to stick to expressing my own value as it is. And I would like to cherish those who like it and those who are interested in it.
I would like to cherish this part not only in soccer but also in art and music activities that have started as a hobby and are becoming a little side business.
In my case, it is more talented to learn theory after entering by self-education, so anyway, after pursuing originality to the limit, I switched to learning a solid theory and hone my skills and sensibility. In the end, I hope to become "a person's memorable" or "a part of the color that colors the space in that person's life."
I think this journey will take time, but there is no reason to rush to grow, so I would like to take the time to cherish the moment when I find it "fun" and create value that never matches the market.
