[@coryotto9303]

I have an opposite feeling living in America and growing up. I grew up loving Soccer and felt like an outcast among classmates. I always felt like I was born in the wrong country because of my intense passion for a sport that everyone considered weak. As i grew older I realized that I was born in the correct country, because my sense of belonging comes from exposing the beautiful game to people who would not otherwise give it a chance.

[@FreestyleMind]

That's great man. So do you work as a cognitive psychologist and you freestyle as well ?

[@coryotto9303]

Cognitive Psychology is what I studied with my Master's Degree. I currently run my own business using those principles to teach soccer here in the states. I freestyle as a side hobby, I would say I am very amateur. I wish to pursue my doctorate in Cognitive Psych someday, just need to timing to work out.

[@FreestyleMind]

That is seriously awesome man, all the best. I'm sure you will achieve that doctorate one day.

[@coryotto9303]

Thank you! same to you. You guys are truly inspirational!

[@XLStyle123]

How will you guys upload videos in the coming weeks? Film, edit and produce videos separately? Nice video!

[@FreestyleMind]

Thats really great vlog!! I loooove it bro! One question that I already asked when we met 6 years (already WTF) How come you feel confortable as South African with emigrants parents? In France we have so much problem with 2nd or 3rd raw emigrants familly... Most of my friends with parents from Algeria Morocco, Tunisia, Senegal or else or still not consider by the (original French) as French. Even tho they are born in France, their parents were born French in the French colony... Why do you think in South Africa a foreigner could be more accepted rather it is in Europe? This is my main concern now regarding all those fake emigration problems

[@FreestyleMind]

+League5 academy Hey brother, wow it's been 6 years already :O. Interesting question bro. I think that's because France has a longer history, heritage and identity, so the original French people probably feel that their heritage is being ruined instead of seeing it as a growth in the French culture. South Africa's identity is relatively new. The South Africa we live in now is still looking for an identity I think. South Africa only got independence in 1994, and since then our culture has been transforming and right now its a bit shaky. There's still a lot of tension between the various cultures within South Africa, and it could either become really bad or improve. We also have a lot of intense immigrant related problems. We had two very brutal Xenophobic attacks by locals who think that foreigners steal their jobs, so its quite scary as well.

[@theWFFA]

I think it is a problem we will see a lot more in the future generations ...people not sure where they belong .

[@FreestyleMind]

+IAMAFREESTYLER True, specially in Europe with the whole refugee situation.

Theres a saying.. It goes.. Where we love is home..home that our feet my leave but not out hearts...

Look this is my history -maybe anyone read this but here is it- I dont know what is have a father, all my experience like a child it was hard because my country its filled with bad persons but thats not the case; with the time I was in love with football soccer, my problems leaved my mind at the moment when I play football. I learned a lot of things playing and practicing but whit the time the troubles are more hard to resolve -the school, the middle time jobs and search a girl for have good moments (with few results)- my only way to scape to my reality was practice sports like soccer. I dont remember when but in some moment I let behind all the sports, anything was going for me and I feel domething like depression in me... And one day I discover the Freestyle Football when the Redbull Street Style came to my country, one person inspired me to practice Freestyle and be a Freestyler that person its Georgino Laime the champion of the Redbull event five years ago. For two or three years I practiced a lot of juggles with one old ball and one or two stalls in the recess of my high school -because it was my only free time that I had in that moment of my life when I was studing in a high school-, now from 7 monts ago when I was receiving my bachelor certificate (in the last ceremony of my high school) I say one thing to my friends: "hey guys I'm gona take a year for rest and practice freestyle", a lot of my friends think that i'm a fuckin crazy men for dedicate one year of my life for practice freestyle and rest, but now i got 17 years and the freestyle is my passion, I take all my practices seriously from a half a year ago. when I do freestyle I feel free and wierd but I like that. I got two dreams, one is become myself in a pro freestyler and the other is go to the university for study gastronomy and be a good chef, I'm sure that if i put all my forces I'm gonna be whatever I want because the freestyle and the food are my 2 passions. When I see the videos of this youtube channel i get inspired and I think a lot in one word: 'THANKS' Thank you Syed and thank you Kamal for inspire me in a lot of my trainings and in my life with your videos! :) PD.: Excuse me for my bad use of the english, is not my native language

[@FreestyleMind]

Very inspiring story man. I love gastronomy man, it's so intriguing. I'm sure you will succeed in both. thanks for sharing your story with us :)
