Siphelele Mthembu, 35, has had a successful career as a South African soccer player.
The striker has played for both the Kaizer Chiefs and the Orlando Pirates, and he has certainly left his mark on the field.
The Pretoria Callies player revealed his secret to success on the field to local football journalist Mahlatsi Mphahlele.
According to him, steering clear of the ladies has kept him fresh. He also emphasised the importance of a relationship with God.
“So the reason I played my best football at Platinum was the environment, diet, praying and worshipping God together,” he said while adding:
“I made sure I didn’t have a girlfriend for two years to keep my body fresh and recover quickly. So my thoughts were good, my energy was also good.”
Mthembu also gave counsel to other young soccer players who appear to like spending money on women and flashy automobiles.
