Cristiano Ronaldo

Cristiano Ronaldo has very strong determination. He used to train very hard since his childhood.

Sometimes, he even trained himself continuously from morning until evening. He also challenged 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 righthanded or lefthanded 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 freekick. Ronaldo's freekick 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 78 cm 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 Ballon 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.
