Guido Della Rovere, a Bayern Munich youth player, experiences football positively despite common pressures athletes face abroad. He expresses that stepping onto the pitch transforms him, contrasting with many athletes who feel anxiety. Della Rovere emphasizes the importance of education, attending an international school while adapting to his new environment. A notable moment arose when a teacher familiar with his background aided his integration, highlighting the sense of community he found while making friends on campus, showing that connection is key in the transition.
When I step onto the pitch, I feel like a different person. Many people feel a lot of pressure at that exact moment, but for me it's the other way around.
Education should not be forsaken in the name of football, which in and of itself is a challenge.
In my first week there, an older woman who works as a kind of teacher at the school spoke to me. She said that she knew me.
I could hardly believe it. She helped me settle in at school. But over time I got on better and better with the other guys on campus.
