Trymacs is one of the most successful German Twitch streamers. In a stream, he mentioned that he might have had a good chance to become a professional football player if he had been better.
How could Trymacs have become a professional football player? During the game, Trymacs told his viewers that he would “probably never be a professional football player”. He further explained that he was “the opposite of a What If“. It’s a kind of thought experiment about what could have been if one had chosen differently.
Trymacs claims to have played for a total of 11 years as a youth in a football club and never got injured. He also participated in a trial training session with the club FC St. Pauli.
The club would have taken him on as a reserve player at most. For Trymacs to be able to play, eight players would have needed to get injured, says the Twitch streamer. Overall, this doesn’t indicate such bad chances if one wants to pursue the path of a professional football player.
“I had all the chances”
What else speaks for Trymacs? During a game in the Kingsleague, Trymacs not only supported his football team, but he also had to go onto the field himself. When Trymacs gave his best on the field and even scored a goal, the moderator asked the present Bastian Schweinsteiger how he found the Twitch streamer’s performance in the game.
Bastian Schweinsteiger is a former football player who also played for the national team and won the World Cup title in 2014. So, if anyone knows what they’re talking about, he should be one of them.
He had positive words for Trymacs, stating that Trymacs’ ball control was “excellent” and that “there are rarely center forwards who handle a ball as elegantly” (Source: YouTube from minute 00:07).
What did it fail on? Although Trymacs had good conditions and always played as well as he could, it apparently wasn’t enough to become a successful professional football player. The reason: He simply wasn’t good enough at playing football.
Trymacs continues, saying he was too bad for the youth team and was therefore placed in the third men’s team of a club at the age of 15.
The third men’s team typically consists of hobby or recreational players. The level in this team is much lower, for example, in comparison to a youth performance team.
In the third men’s team, Trymacs’ team lost consistently, and afterward, he stopped playing football. “I’m not a What If. I had all the chances,” Trymacs concludes (Source: YouTube from minute 00:47).
What else does Trymacs share? Finally, Trymacs shares a little anecdote. For the trial training at FC St. Pauli, he brought his own football: a real Jabulani ball. That was the official match ball of the 2010 World Cup in South Africa.
However, Trymacs was not allowed to take this ball to training and left it in the changing room, where it was promptly said to have been stolen.
Who knows: Maybe we missed a professional football player in Trymacs. Nevertheless, the career of Trymacs from pizza delivery driver to Twitch streamer is interesting to observe.
