足球：一个好的职业选择？ 小大卫是足球迷。他所有的闲暇时光都在学校操场上和他在伦敦东部家附近的街道上踢足球。像数百万男孩和越来越多的女孩一样，大卫梦想着成为一名职业足球运动员。他是曼彻斯特联队的支持者，他想穿上红衬衫于数千名欢呼的球迷前在著名的老特拉福球场上一展身手。 当他还是个小学生的时候，他就参加了一个伦敦俱乐部的培训课程，然后在他十六岁的时候，他作为一名练习生北邀请加入了曼彻斯特联队。大卫的成功几乎是立即开始了，他成了曼彻斯特联盟青年队的成员，1992年赢得了英国足球总会青年杯，然后同一年他第一次被选上红魔高级队踢球。这是一段非凡经历的开始

现在大卫是英国最著名的中场球员和世界超级明星。每次他踢球，都有全世界数千热爱贝克的球迷观看。大卫.贝克汉姆实现了他的目标，但是，带着同样梦想所有的其他孩子这么样呢？他们怎么能实现自己的雄心壮志呢？ 足球于大多数职业不同，因为老板不会在国际互联网上或报纸上作广告说他们有空缺。没有申请表或面试。相反是足球俱乐部的老板找出有恰当能力的运动员并雇佣他们。 俱乐部寻找具有独特品质，最重要是要有才能的年轻足球运动员。优秀运动员必须能够控制球并懂得怎样去利用球场的空间。职业足球运动员必须非常非常优秀，去为一流俱乐部踢球，他们必须非常杰出。俱乐部管理人员还要求每一位足球运动员友好的团队精神、坚强的性格、精神力量和积极的态度。 

很多国家都建立了程序来鼓励发展年轻的足球运动员，俱乐部以此来评定运动员，发现未来的球星。中国建立了一些足球学校，在这些学校里孩子们既能接受正规教育又能学到足球技能。在英国，俱乐部派工作人员到全国去发现有才能的男孩和女孩。这些工作人员要观看数百场由乡村、城镇或城市的学校球队举行的比赛。当他们发现了有才能的年轻人，就要请他们到俱乐部去训练。如果运动员不到十六岁，他们仍然要到学校去，但要参加俱乐部晚上的训练科目，周末在初级队里踢球。那些踢得足够好的队员在十六岁时就成了青年练习生，作为一个拿薪水的队员加入俱乐部。在这期间，他们接受足球指导并为青年队效力，但这并不是一种容易的生活。球队里的位置有很多竞争，薪水很低，工作包括打扫更衣室、厕所，还给高级球队的队员擦鞋子。这些练习生还得每周上一天大学，在大学里他们还得学习诸如足球场的养护以及办公室的管理等足球行业的特性。

两年后，只有少数练习生表现足够好能够上一个台阶。这些幸运儿能够和俱乐部签合同，这样他们作为职业足球运动员的生涯就开始了。从他们的职业成功这一点上看，他们挣多少钱要由他们的表现以及他们队赢了多少场比赛而定。或许，像贝克一样，一两个人成了大明星。然而，足球是这样一个激烈竞争的职业，那么多的运动员不能成功，他们不得不离开这个职业而去寻找别的工作。 当大卫.贝克汉姆是个孩子的时候，他就梦想着为曼彻斯特联队踢球。他实现了他的雄心壮志并且使红衬衫7号扬名全世界。现在他不仅以得分而出名而且以他的发型和生活方式而扬名。大卫的经历是一个幸福的结局，但是大部分拥有相同愿望的孩子将永远没有机会穿上他们最喜欢球队的衬衫。他们中的许多将只是在业余时间里作业余足球运动员。不幸的是，足球梦想经常得不到实
