Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has very strong determination. He used to train


very hard since his childhood. He knew that a footballer requires good
stamina because a football match requires a player to run at least 10
kilometers in a single match. Sometimes, he even trained himself by playing
along with older players.

He becomes so skillful and confident that his opponents cannot


figure out how to stop Ronaldo from making a goal. Normal football players
will use their single leg of their dominant side body, i.e. players of right-
handed or left - handed use their respective legs to score goals but Ronaldo
can easily use both of his legs efficiently to make goals. In addition to that,
he can use his head to score goals as well.

He is also one of the fastest football players in football history.


Ronaldo can run very fast, he can run with a speed of 33.6 kilometers per
hour. That is why he is also known as a rocket man. This helps Ronaldo to
do his famous free- kick. Ronaldo’s free- kick speed is approximately 130
kilometers per hour.

While jumping, Ronaldo’s G- force is five times higher than that of a


cheetah. He can jump up to 78cm in the air, this jumping height is much
more compared to any basketball player. All of these have helped him
achieve his success. In his young age, he has won many trophies and broken
records including winning the prestigious FIFA Balloon d’Or award five times
and created a world record by scoring the most goals in international
football in September 2021. Currently his net worth is around $500 million
and this makes him one of the richest athletes.
