A professional football Player is now on Steemit.

Dear Steemians, I guess this is the correct greeting here on this platform. My name is Reinhold Yabo, but almost everyone is calling me Ray.
Like you can see in the title of this post am I a professional, African soccer player, born in Germany and currently living in Austria playing for Red Bull Salzburg.

Yes, this is me.

Maybe you are wondering, why a soccer player is on a blogging platform like that.
Well, this is because I am not only a professional soccer player. No, this is one part of my whole person.
In young ages, I began to write. I really like writing. I also started a blog on my homepage to show my fans some more insights of the world I am living in. For me, you can tell this kind of insights deeper in a blog post than just in a short social media statements. But because that I am a person standing in public I must be careful what I am writing.

A few years ago I slipped into the world of online marketing and more. The entrepreneur spirit in me was born. I built small affiliate projects, just because I had fun to built and see how if this could really work. So I got my first experiences in this field and it motivated and inspired me to dive deeper. I read a lot of books about entrepreneurship, I watched many Videos on Youtube and tried out new things. Some of them were such a failure.
I did this not because I needed money. Honestly, I can say that as a professional Soccer player I earn a lot of money. But that's not the point! The point is that I am more than just a soccer player. Maybe you have also certain prejudices about people like me, and could understand it. But I am not like this. Playing Soccer is my Job, but I like and love many things. I like to try them out, live the dreams apart from my work. Yes, I have fun with doing it.

I am also a believer. A Christian believer and this is really important for me.
In the world I am living I faced a lot of bad things. Not everything what shines is also good. I am now 25 years old and I can say I went through many difficult situations. Challenges who crushed me and built my character and I am still learning what it means to live your dream and have strong character. To be a blessing for other people, because everyone has challenges. It doesn’t matter in which area you are working, we all have difficulties.

So what can you expect when you are following me?

First of all, I am really excited to get to know this steemit.com. I have to find my Voice here. I am excited to see new people here.
But I know that I like to talk about personal growth, for me this is a so important topic which affects every area of your life.
If you are interested I will also share insights from the world I am living.

If this sounds interesting for you than it would be an honor for me if you would follow me.
I really guess I am the only professional Soccer player on this platform right now.

P.s Please forgive me my bad English :D
