Insightful Advice from Tristan Do

The players engaged with the students in a lively Q&A session. One of the most insightful questions posed was, “What is the best advice you were ever given?”

Tristan Do shared a piece of wisdom that has profoundly guided his career:

“When I was young, a coach told me something that always stuck with me. He said that 20% of being a professional footballer is talent, but 80% is your attitude. All the decisions you make about everything in your life and how you act, this is most important.”
