Life Lessons from Live Premiership

About 5years ago I started writing my thoughts on the English premiership drawing out life lessons from what is arguably the most loved and followed football league in the world. It was featured on the website of a colleague back in Obafemi Awolowo University- www.gamen11.com. I indeed enjoyed every bit of it, I remember reporting matches from viewing  centers as I didn't even have a tv of mine as student talk less of a decoder. I could write a book on my experience at various viewing centres.  

 At viewing centres just like life itself you meet different 'characters' , some will make you laugh as you eavesdrop on their remarks on football issues while others will upset you with their shallow opinions. Though I often left the viewing centre with either a headache caused by the noisy environment or with a back pain as a result of seating on a bench for 90mins. Whatever the injury was, I always still had a satisfaction of watching a live premiership game. Fast forward to 2015, even though I need not patronize viewing centres anymore and I at least have access to 3 televisions, I seldom write anything about the premiership. I have dropped my pens for the hustle of a good life in lasgidi and the 9-5pm lifestyle. 

But now Arsenal is back in the winning ways am back too.  There's a lot I believe we can still learn from following the Premiership. While the billions of pounds being tossed around the league may never get to us, we can  at least pick useful nuggets that can help our hustle. Our arguing or debates won't make Rooney score more goals this season neither would it make Liverpool win the league. It's August 8th, the day I will have to explain to my son why he can't watch Max and Ruby all day and the real reason I put a Tv in his room. Let the season begin and the lessons follow.
