I got to know Julius in 2020. At the time, I was in the extended squad of an Oberliga club, got a few minutes here and there, but played most of the time in the second team, in the regional league. I had no confidence on the pitch, was sometimes afraid of being substituted and afraid of making mistakes.
Now, 4 years later, I'm a professional soccer player. I play more confidently, I know what I can do and I have a much better understanding of the whole mental circus that this sport entails. I'm not saying that I only made it because of Julius, there's a lot more to it than that, but to be honest, I wouldn't have made it without him. I know that no matter what happens in the future, I'm not alone and I'm still looking forward to the path that Julius and I will take together.
