Hi Deren,
Great question - sounds like you're talented otherwise scouts and interviewers would likely not show up. I'm not experienced in that field but my guess would be staying close to how you are - don't pretend te be something/someone you're not - be authentic and honest. Show drive and commitment and let them your willing to go the extra mile (assuming that is the case). And being open to learn and try and test new things - would be something I would value in talking to new joiners in my team. A final thought - being a professional also means giving things up. Nothing comes for free. Such a journey can sometimes be tough so be persistant.
Good luck and go for it!

Respecting scouts and interviewers is crucial for aspiring professional football players as it demonstrates professionalism, maturity, and a positive attitude. By showing respect, you can create a favorable impression and increase your chances of being viewed favorably as a potential recruit.
During interviews and interactions with scouts, focus on conveying your passion for the game, dedication to improvement, and willingness to work hard. Highlight your achievements, skills, and strengths, but also be honest about areas where you have room for growth. Emphasize your commitment to teamwork, coachability, and a strong work ethic.
Additionally, express gratitude for the opportunity to showcase your talents and engage in discussions about your potential role on the team. Demonstrate humility, confidence, and a willingness to learn from feedback and constructive criticism.
Overall, being respectful, professional, and confident in your abilities can leave a lasting impression on scouts and interviewers, potentially opening doors to opportunities as a professional football player.
