Welcome to The Champion’s Mindset! Today, we have a very special guest, a global icon in the world of football. He’s broken countless records, won numerous awards, and is known for his incredible work ethic. Please welcome, Cristiano Ronaldo!
Cristiano Ronaldo
Thank you, thank you. It’s a pleasure to be here.
Host
Cristiano, your career has been remarkable. From Sporting Lisbon to Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and now back to Al-Nassr. What motivates you to keep pushing at the highest level, even at this stage in your career?
Cristiano Ronaldo
Well, it’s simple. I love football. It’s my passion, and I always want to be the best. I’ve always had the mentality that I need to improve every day, to be better than yesterday. It’s not just about winning, but about constantly improving myself.
Host
Speaking of improvement, you’re famous for your incredible physical fitness, even in your late 30s. What’s the secret behind your fitness routine?
Cristiano Ronaldo
There’s no secret, really. It’s hard work, discipline, and consistency. I train hard, I rest well, and I take care of my body with the right nutrition. You can’t achieve success without sacrifice. For me, it’s about maintaining a healthy balance between my work on the field and off the field.
Host
You’ve won five Ballon d'Ors, multiple Champions League titles, and countless individual awards. Is there a specific moment or trophy that stands out to you the most?
Cristiano Ronaldo
It’s hard to choose one. Winning the Champions League with Manchester United in 2008 was very special because it was my first one. But winning with Real Madrid multiple times was also incredible. Every title has its own story, and I’m proud of all of them. But the Euro 2016 win with Portugal was something extra special—winning for my country, that’s unforgettable.
Host
That was such an iconic moment! Lastly, what advice would you give to young players who look up to you?
Cristiano Ronaldo
My advice is simple: believe in yourself, work hard, and never give up. Talent is important, but it’s your mindset and work ethic that will take you to the top. Always be hungry for more, and remember, the harder you work, the luckier you get.
Host
Powerful words from one of the greatest. Cristiano, thank you so much for your time. It was an honor having you on the show!
Cristiano Ronaldo
Thank you, it was my pleasure. Stay strong, everyone!
Host
And that’s it for today’s episode of The Champion’s Mindset! Until next time, keep chasing greatness.
